Police Story

ka-kui is a great protagonist, he's strong and knows what to do when he gets himself in a corner but he can also be incompetent, foolish and act like a baffoon but what matters is that he has heart.

i do think the film in retrospect struggles with its other characters, i do like some of them and the light commentary on corruption inside the police itself and the law. salina is a fine character, really she's more of a device for the plot, to be protected but i think brigitte lin gives her a smart and charismatic personality.
the action is top notch and an evolution of what jackie did in the drunken master.
