Customer Reviews of Supercop
Michelle Yeoh!...(co-staring Jackie Chan) Michelle Yeoh is hot! The former Miss Malaysia steals this movie from Jackie Chan (through no fault of his own) due to her graceful yet intense martial arts tour de force. This movie culminates in a fantastic chase scene through downtown Kuala Lumpur and Michelle's motocylce jump onto a moving train. Her acting is showcased better in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and she is probably more accessible to American audiences in "Tomorrow Never Dies" but this is still one of my favorite movies for Michelle.
Jackie Chan uses fewer props (i.e. ladders, bar stools, pool cues)in the fight sequences than usual but is none the less his dynamic self. The plot is, well...who watches Jackie Chan movies for the plot? And the English voice-overs are typical of this film genre. But if this bothers you, you probably shouldn't be watching Hong Kong action flicks.
Maggie Cheung is still Jackie's girlfriend but in a role much diminished from that of Police Story 2 and is unfortunately overshadowed by Michelle. (Aside: Maggie actually has an acting part in "Chinese Box" with Jeremy Irons.)
Chan and Yeoh are definately co-stars of this movie. For Michelle fans see Supercop II as well where she has top billing.
A could be better performance by the "great" JACKIE CHAN.
The third sequel to Jackie's smash hit which changed the action film industry, Police Story, comes another regular action packed thriller. Although there were some great stunts leading to the capture of the main villan, Jackie Chan's action doesn't even come close to what he is capable of. Jackie's other sequels to this parady which also include First Strike and Police Story 1 and 2 are not only funnier, but the action is more diverse. Diverse meaning, wider. There's more action, better comedy, and a better acting job in the other three sequels. Supercop is a great film for first-time American action movie watchers, due to American director's minute imagination when it comes to action movies; however, when it comes to Asian standards, this movie doesn't match some of the other movies Jackie had out.
Supercop
The movie is ok but it is a superior film in Cantonese. The dubbed English is awkward and detracts from the film. I find the "dubbing" very annoying and would prefer the vintage Hong Kong Jackie Chan films marketed in the US be provided in the original language. Argggh!
