Police Story 4: First Strike (1996)

aka: Jackie Chan's First Strike / aka: First Strike

Jackie is chasing down a missing nuclear warhead in First Strike. The stunts are as inventive and as frantic as ever. Jackie uses his environment well, even picking up a stepladder to beat the crap out of guys in a warehouse, which might be fun to try the next time you need some decorating done.
My version was the insulting 80 mins western edition (Hong Kong version is 110 mins). Despite the missing footage (30 mins!) it was easy to follow.
