Crime Story is a 1993 Hong Kong action film directed by Kirk Wong. Unlike nearly all other Jackie Chan films, which feature a combination of action and slapstick comedy, Crime Story is primarily a serious drama; while Chan's trademark stunts and martial arts skill is displayed in a few scenes, most of the film's action scenes revolve around firearms, with many people being shot and killed. Chan was allegedly uncomfortable with the dark tone, and had the film re-edited before release, causing a permanent rift between himself and director Wong. The film is a based on factual events surrounding of the 1990 kidnapping of Chinese businessman Teddy Wang. Jackie Chan stars as a member of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, who is suffering from emotional stress after shooting several men in self-defense, is assigned to track down the kidnapped businessman Wong Yat-Fei (Law Kar-ying). The search takes him from Hong Kong to Taiwan, causing him to cross paths with some very powerful men in the Chinese underworld. What complicates matters is that one of the kidnappers is operating within the police force, determined to stop Chan from succeeding. The relentlessly driven Chan finds himself fighting his personal demons at the same time he battles the seemingly unending wave of crime in the city.
