Interesting facts

  • Budget: $35M

Police Story 2013 is a 2013 neo-noir action thriller film directed and written by Ding Sheng. A Chinese-Hong Kong co-production, it stars Jackie Chan in another reboot of the Police Story film series. The film is directed by Ding Sheng, who previously helmed Chan's Little Big Soldier. Unlike the previous Police Story films where he portrays a Hong Kong cop, Chan instead portrays a mainland Chinese officer.

Production

Filming of Police Story 2013 began in November 2012 in Beijing. To prepare for his role, Chan cut his hair short to fit the look of a mainland officer. About his new role, Chan posted on his Sina Weibo account saying:

I’ve played policemen many times before, but I’ve never shot a film which focused on the life of a mainland policeman. So this time, I get the chance to fulfill this kind of role.

Filming wrapped on in February 2013 and post-production began, with the actors re-recording their dialogue.
