I've never considered FIRST STRIKE part of the POLICE STORY series. It's so completely different in terms of plot and style (and entertainment value) that it should never be mentioned in the same breath as the three real POLICE STORY films. Even if the filmmakers, including Jackie himself, came to my door and insisted it was meant to be #4, I wouldn't believe them and would tell them to get lost--and to take FIRST STRIKE with them.

When Christopher Nolan made Batman Begins, he didn't intend to make a trilogy
When Sergio Leone made A Fistful of Dollars, he didn't intend to make a trilogy
When Christopher Nolan made The Dark Knight, he intended it to be a sequel to the previous film but (presumably) didn't intend to make a trilogy
When Sergio Leone made For a Few Dollars More, he didn't intend it to be a sequel or prequel to any film and didn't intend to make a trilogy
When Christopher Nolan made The Dark Knight Rises, he intended it to be a sequel to the previous two films and the concluding chapter of a trilogy
When Sergio Leone made The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, he didn't intend it to be a sequel or prequel to any film and didn't intend to make a trilogy

IIRC, Supercop and First Strike were released in American theatres shortly after the International success of Rumble in the Bronx.

Most of my favorites have been mentioned, but I also feel compelled to mention the Apu trilogy. One of the few trilogies that, in my opinion, gets better as it goes along.

I was just goofing around. Mighty Ducks came up in a conversation with my wife today for some reason I can't quite recall, and once it occurred to me that there were three of them, I decided to post it here.

In no particular order:
"Three Colours"
"Dragon Tattoo"
"The Godfather"
"Toy Story"
"Bourne"
"Back to the Future"
"Lord of the Rings"
And I'll go with Numanoid's "Superman"/"Superman II"/"Superman Returns".

From my recollection, "First Strike" really had a tone similar to the other Jackie Chan movies released around the time (Rumble in the Bronx, Mr. Nice Guy, Thunderbolt), which I will agree had a different tone than the previous three movies.
