Fast sell:

This slick, stylish, action-packed crime saga stars the legendary Jackie Chan as a cop taken hostage by a ruthless nightclub owner, leading to a nerve-wracking battle of wits and an incendiary finale.

The one and only Chan, Hong Kong’s best known actor, is the star of over a hundred action films, including the Rush Hour movies, Dragon Blade, Shanghai Knights, Karate Kid and the forthcoming sequel, as well as the voice of Jack in the Kung Fu Panda films.

Famous for doing all his own stunts, Chan, now 62, is showing no signs of slowing down, delivering action movies like no one else can, and Police Story: Lockdown, the sixth in the hugely popular Police Story series, makes Taken look like an episode of Last of the Summer Wine.

Key talent:

Jackie Chan (Rush Hour, Shanghai Knights, Kung Fu Panda, Police Story)
Ye Liu (City of Life and Death)
Tian Jing (Kong: Skull Island)

Synopsis:

Police captain Zhong Wen goes to meet his estranged daughter at a nightclub, owned by her boyfriend Wu Jiang. When Wu locks the doors to the club and takes everybody inside hostage, Zhong discovers that he, and the other hostages, have something in common that is driving Wu’s sinister plan. Outnumbered and outgunned, Zhong has some tricks up his sleeve to scupper Wu’s plans and make the nightclub owner and his gang of armed thugs rue the day they took the indestructible police captain hostage.

We like it because:

Jackie Chan hit paydirt in 1985 when he starred in Police Story, a wildly successful action comedy that has so far spawned five follow up films, of which Lockdown is the latest. Co-written and directed by Chan, Police Story starred Chan as a Hong Kong cop trying to clear his name after being framed by a drug baron.

The award-winning smash hit Police Story films showcased Chan’s incredible martial arts and stunt skills and made him world famous. Since Police Story the seemingly invincible Chan has performed every conceivable stunt in
every conceivable genre, and his films are always guarantee a high octane thrill ride. Police Story: Lockdown is no exception.

The confines of the nightclub where the main action in Lockdown plays out makes for a taut, suspenseful thriller, Die Hard in a discothèque if you like, unmissable for action fans and a must see for Chan addicts. To date the film has grossed an incredible $94million worldwide, making it one of the most successful films in the series so far.
