Um, it's a weird one, has some of the most bizarre tonal shifts I've ever seen in a movie, but Chow Yun Fat was in a film that I've seen titled as both Tiger On The Beat and also just as Tiger On Beat. I don't know how easy it would actually be to get a hold of it, but some of the action scenes, particularly at the climax of the film, are soooooooo good.
Other than that, Jackie Chan has your back. Police Story, Wheels On Meals, etc.
Are you interested in a more modern setting with guns etc, in the vein of Rush Hour, Hard Boiled etc, or are you also looking for martial arts stuff with a more historical setting?
If so, Jackie Chan also has your back with a lot of great stuff. Legend Of The Drunken Master is absolutely one of the best kung-fu movies ever. Other than that, there's also the stuff that the Shaw Brothers were putting out, like 5 Deadly Venoms, 8 Diagram Pole Fighter etc. They had a whole bunch of movies around the late 70s onward directed by Chang Cheh with largely the same cast (including Philip Kwok, who has a pretty great part in Hard Boiled) and there's some really great stuff there if you're into that. Crippled Avengers is maybe my favourite of that lot, (the movie is even better than the super amazing title) but there is lots of good stuff. The Kid With The Golden Arm and the others I mentioned. Also, check out Gordon Liu. You're probably already familiar with him in some capacity, he played two characters in the Kill Bill movies. The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin is probably my favourite Kung Fu film.
I don't think too many of his movies are actually particularly good, but Donnie Yen is always pretty incredible to watch in fight scenes etc.
Either way, enjoy Hard Boiled! It's incredible!
