Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for New Police Story (aka Police Story 5), a 2004 crime thriller starring Jackie Chan (The Foreigner) and directed by Benny Chan (Call of Heroes).
New Police Story stars Nicholas Tse (The Bullet Vanishes), Charlie Young (Fallen Angels) and Daniel Wu (That Demon Within).
Besides Jackie playing a cop and how the film carries the “Police Story” title, it shares no relation to the earlier films. New Police Story stands on its own as a dark action movie that puts Jackie against a gang of psychotic teenage geeks who are obsessed with killing police officers in playful ways. Unlike Jackie’s usual movies, this one hits close to R-rated violence. Not since The Protector and Crime Story has Jackie visited a no nonsense role.

I actually really liked this film. TBH the 2 last Police Story films would have been better as Crime Story 2 & 3 but I understand why they weren’t. I’ll always love Jackie mans a living legend!
It may not be the black t-shirt of death, but that is a horrendous cover! Putting Jackie’s head on someone else’s body, and photoshopping the tip of the Glock to make it look like a Beretta!
Great movie though.
