Story: Police Story 2 starts when Chan Ka Kui (Chan) faces punishment for the destruction he caused in the last outing. He is relegated to traffic cop and other gang members from the group he took down have come for revenge against him. Chan decides to leave the force and try and start a new life with his girlfriend May (Cheung).
However, duty calls and he returns to fight against the ruthless gang. Only this time, he must do even more on his own, without the backup he once had.
Verdict on Police Story 2
Police Story 2 is an action comedy sequel following the aftermath of the first movie. Chan faces a difficult future as he must face the consequences of his actions. However, the gang hasn’t finished with him yet.
This movie is bigger and unleashes Jackie Chan in a new way with more combat skills. We continue to get the slapstick comedy from the girlfriend side of the story. It is nice to see the story continue and show the consequences of the major destruction caused. This is a solid sequence that continues to show the heroics of the cop.
