Both are Jackie Chan's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than Police Story does

The same preoccupation in both: gangster

Both rooted in Hong Kong
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Police Story does

The same two preoccupations: martial arts, and kung fu
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Police Story does

Jackie Chan working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the grit of Police Story for an angle of its own

Both are built on the same subject: martial arts

Kinetic and gritty in the same breath
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both land wit and play at once

One thread runs through both: undercover

Action built on momentum, twice over


Both keep coming back to the same thing: fistfight
