New Police Story (Chinese: 新警察故事; Mandarin Pinyin: Xīn Jǐngchá Gùshì; Jyutping: San1 ging5 chaat3 gu3 si6) is a 2004 Hong Kong action crime drama film produced and directed by Benny Chan and also produced by and starring Jackie Chan.
The film is a reboot of the Police Story series. New Police Story relies much more on drama and heavy action than its predecessors.
The film begins with a highly intoxicated police Inspector Chan Kwok-wing (Chinese: 陳國榮; Mandarin Pinyin: Chén Guóróng; Jyutping: Can4 Gwok3 Wing4) drinking one whiskey after another. Later, he collapses in an alley, and is found by a stranger, played by Nicholas Tse.
The timeline then moves back a year, to show the heroics of Inspector Chan, as he disguises himself as a news cameraman in order to subdue a man holding a woman hostage in Central.
Soon after that incident, a group of rich, rebellious youths rob a bank. They explicitly ask a bank worker to call the police, and are confronted by the police outside the Legislative Council building. They play a sadistic game, in which they are awarded money for shooting police officers with assault rifles, before making their escape.
