One of Jackie Chan’s longest-running franchises is the Police Story series, but how does each movie rank from worst to best? His illustrious career, which has included work with martial arts icons such as Bruce Lee, has ensured Jackie Chan is a legend of both action and comedy in every sense. Some of his most popular movies include the Drunken Master, Project A, and the Shanghai Noon movies, but no other series he’s been a part of has had the kind of decades-long stretch of popularity as the Police Story movies.

Jackie Chan broke new ground in the mid-1980s and really started to pick up steam as a worldwide action star. Police Story was one of the first of Chan's films to go over the top in of spectacle, not to mention danger. Every new stunt seemed to bring with it the possibility of utter catastrophe and possible death.

America's fascination with martial arts films began with the monumental success of Bruce Lee and audiences devoured the wild action and kung-fu acrobatics. Lee's films started the boom in the U.S. and the films got wilder and wilder as the years went on.

Police Story 4: First Strike essentially plays like a Jackie Chan version of a James Bond movie. Jackie Chan is an action icon who has performed many jaw-dropping - and life-threatening - stunts for the pleasure of moviegoers over his decades-long career. Despite becoming a star with Hong Kong martial arts epics like Drunken Master, it took a surprisingly long time for Jackie to break into U.S. movies. He made a few attempts in the early 1980s with projects like The Big Brawl and The Protector, but after they both underperformed and Chan was particularly unhappy with the sleaziness of the latter film, he returned to Hong Kong.
