Police Story 4: First Strike
Detective Chan Ka-Kui leaps from Hong Kong to Australia in this exhilarating action-comedy, not to solve a typical crime, but to dismantle a sophisticated arms-dealing operation masking a dangerous intelligence game. Unlike previous installments focused on localized threats, *First Strike* embeds Chan in a larger geopolitical conspiracy, forcing him to navigate shifting alliances and betrayals within Interpol and a fabricated Russian network. The film distinguishes itself with spectacular practical stunts – notably a breathtaking sequence atop a Sydney Opera House – woven into a storyline that playfully subverts the stoic secret agent archetype through Chan's charmingly clumsy, yet relentlessly determined, performance. The narrative’s momentum builds not from a singular villain, but from a web of calculated manipulations and the constant questioning of loyalties, culminating in a chaotic and surprising showdown that redefines the expectations of a classic buddy-cop dynamic.
