<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > synopsis:</h1>
Zhu Tao, a Hong Kong businessman, is ostensibly engaged in legal businesses such as import and export, real estate, etc., but he is secretly engaged in drug transactions behind his back. In response to Zhu Tao's illegal and criminal activities, the Hong Kong Police Department secretly set up a "pig hunting operation", and Hong Kong police officers Chen Jiaju and Jin Dazui and others participated in the operation.
Hong Kong Police Department secretly set up "Operation Pig Hunting"
Once Zhu Tao and others chose to trade drugs in the wooden house area of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong police station heard the news and set up an ambush in the wooden house area in advance. Although there were some accidents in the process of arresting Zhu Tao and other criminals, fortunately, in the end, it was successfully concluded, and the big drug lord Zhu Tao was also captured by the heroic Chen Jiaju.

After the "Pig Hunting Operation", due to Chen Jiaju's heroic performance, the Chief Forest of the Police Department decided to train Chen Jiaju as a "model policeman" and let him participate in a number of publicity activities. At the same time, the police department intends to turn Zhu Tao's secretary, Selena, into a prosecution witness in order to induce Zhu Tao to make a wrong move, and the person responsible for protecting Selena is Chen Jiaju.

After the police released Selena, through a series of "means" successfully made Zhu Tao's men suspect her. On the other hand, in the process of protecting Selena, Chen Jiaju did not get along happily. In order to allow Selena to cooperate smoothly with his work, Chen Jiaju asked Jin Dazui to pretend to be a killer to intimidate her. At the same time, Zhu Tao's men also surrounded Selena on the road. In the end, under the protection of Chen Jiaju, the two successfully escaped.
Zhu Tao's personal secretary, Selena
In order to better protect Selena, Chen Jiaju decided to take him to the house, but it also caused a misunderstanding with his girlfriend Ami. After some misunderstanding, her girlfriend Ami ran away from home in anger, and Selena also discovered Chen Jiaju's "conspiracy" during this period.

The next day, the prosecution witness, Selena, disappeared unexpectedly, and the helpless Chen Jiaju had to bring the recording recorded last night to the courtroom. During the trial, the police had no direct evidence to confirm that Zhu Tao was involved in the drug trade, so he was in a passive position. At this time, Chen Jiaju took out last night's tape, which improved the original situation of decline, but when the contents of the tape were released, Chen Jiaju knew that it was dropped.
Chen Jiaju, who charged Zhu Tao in court
Due to insufficient evidence against Zhu Tao, Zhu Tao was eventually released in court, and Chen Jiaju was demoted for not protecting witnesses. Later, Zhu Tao, who has a grudge against Chen Jiaju, plans to design him and use this to get rid of Selena's big problem.
Chen Jiaju, who was demoted
After being demoted, Chen Jiaju found Selena's residence through an informant, but when he arrived, he learned that he had hit the trap set by Zhu Tao. Fortunately, under the protection of Chen Jiaju, Selena successfully escaped, but Chen Jiaju was stunned by Zhu Tao's men and was accused of shooting the civilian police officer.
Chen Jiaju and Selena were hunted down and killed by Zhu Tao's men
After waking up, Chen Jiaju was charged with first-degree murder by Director Lin, and in order to prove his innocence, he "kidnapped" Director Lin and later chose to prove his innocence in his own way. On the other side, Selena, who was almost killed by Zhu Tao, risked her life to infiltrate Zhu Tao's office in the Commercial Building in order to collect evidence of Zhu Tao's crimes.
Chen Jiaju "kidnapped" Director Lin
Chen Jiaju, who is constantly monitoring Zhu Tao's movements, learns that Selena has infiltrated Zhu Tao's office, and Zhu Tao also knows through the alarm system that Selena is stealing his trade secrets. So the two gangs gathered in the Commercial Building, and finally rescued Selena under Chen Jiaju's fighting performance and brought Zhu Tao to justice.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the pros and cons of the series:</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > advantage:</h1>
One: the pioneering work of the series. It is no exaggeration to say that the "Police Story" series led by Jackie Chan is the representative and even the peak of the "police action film" in the "History of Hong Kong Film" and even the "History of Chinese Film". The first film that pioneered this series, "Police Story", surpassed other films in the same series in terms of popularity, representativeness, and historical status!
Another point is that the film "Police Story" not only presupposes the basic story framework for the entire series, that is, Chen Jiaju, as a policeman, fights with criminals who endanger social stability, but also lays the basic style type for the entire series, that is, tense and exciting action scenes with witty and humorous comedy bridges!
Chen Jiaju, the embodiment of justice
Two: Jackie Chan's transformation from "Republic of China Kung Fu Film" to "Fashion Action Film". Fans familiar with Jackie Chan know that the early Jackie Chan officially created his own performance style with a series of "Republic of China Kung Fu Films" such as "Drunken Fist" (1978), "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" (1979), "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" (1980) and so on, that is, kung fu comedy, and Jackie Chan played roles such as "Republic of China Kung Fu Boy" in the above films!
Kung Fu comedy masterpiece "Drunken Fist"
For Jackie Chan, who was in the ascendancy of his career at that time, the disadvantages of being stereotyped far outweighed the benefits. Therefore, after that, he was also seeking various breakthroughs, in 1983, he starred in the comedy action film "Strange Scheme Five Lucky Stars" starring Hong Jinbao, Wu Yaohan and others, in 1984, he and his brothers Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao went to Europe to shoot the "fashion action film" "Fast Food Truck", and in 1985, Jackie Chan was either starring or starring, or participated in five action films and crime films in a modern background, namely "FuXing Gaozhao", "Weilong Detective", "Summer Fuxing", "Dragon's Heart" and "Police Story". Among them, "Police Story", which won the "Best Film of the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards", directly marked Jackie Chan's official transformation from the previous "Republic of China Action Film" to the more popular "Fashion Action Film" at that time!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > disadvantage:</h1>
"Police Story" as the beginning of a series, from the perspective of pioneering, and today's film history status, of course, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, if you look at the popularity of the film when it was released, as well as the box office feedback of the market, then as the first of the series, it is naturally not as good as the same series of movies released later!
"Police Story" box office performance in Hong Kong
At this point, the box office (Hong Kong area) is the most convincing. All three legitimate sequels to the Police Story series grossed more than the first 26.62 million. In 1988, "Police Story Sequel" achieved 34.15 million, ranking second in the box office list that year, "Police Story Super Cop" in 1992 achieved 32.72 million, and "Simple Tasks of Police Story" in 1998 achieved 57.51 million, ranking first in the box office list of that year. Therefore, compared to the pioneering first film, all three orthodox sequels have "eaten" the box office dividends of the series of movies!
