Police Story 4: First Strike (Chinese警察故事4之簡單任務, released in the United Kingdom as Jackie Chan's First Strike) is a 1996 Hong Kong action film written and directed by Stanley Tong, starring Jackie Chan, Jackson Lou, Wu Chen-chun and Bill Tung. The film was released in Hong Kong on 10 February 1996.
Jackie reprises his role as Chan Ka-kui (also known in some versions as Jackie) yet again as a Hong Kong cop who works with Interpol to track down and arrest an illegal weapons dealer. Later Ka-Kui realizes that things are not as simple as they appear and soon finds himself a pawn of an organization posing as Russian intelligence.[1]
The movie was shot partially in Brisbane in QueenslandAustralia, where the last half of the movie is based.Chinatown, Brisbane in Fortitude Valley and Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast were used. The movie was shot in the months between August and November 1995.
To advertise First Strike, Jackie recorded the song 怎麼會 Zenme Hui and also made a music-video for it. As is typical with Chan's pictures, the US version does not feature the theme song.
