50 Greatest Action Movies Of All Time

27. Police Story (1985)

Crank 2
Golden Harvest

Jackie Chan co-wrote, directed and even performed on the soundtrack for Police Story, a movie that would spawn five sequels over the next two decades and serve as the breakthrough showcase for the actor's unique blend of physical comedy and death-defying stunts.

Whether it be through fearlessness or sheer disregard for his own safety, Chan throws himself into the jaw-dropping set-pieces, from his incredibly dangerous ride on the back of a bus to the incredible final showdown in a shopping mall, which resulted in second-degree burns for the star and quite possibly the most amount of glass shattered in a single movie.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
