Police Story (1985) ***

A superior chop socky flick, one of the Jackie Chan's best. He plays a cop who must protect a witness (Brigitte Lin), while dealing with his girlfriend (Maggie Cheung). The original Hong Kong version (in Cantonese with English sub-titles) is 91 minutes long. The English-dubbed American release version is only 89 minutes. And actually, the real difference is closer to 4 minutes, because the dubbed version has longer closing credits.
