Supercop

Basically the 3rd movie in the Police Story series (First Strike is the 4th and last), Supercop has very little connections to the 1st 2 Poilce Story movies, which were very closely related. Jackie Chan returns as Kevin Chan, and his girlfriend Mei is still played by Maggie Cheung. I have seen Supercop numerous time, and each time its like watching it for the 1st. The story is better than many Chan films, and the action and stunts are easily amongst the best. The story, takes itself a little more seriously than some Chan films, say compared to Mr. Nice Guy or Rumble in The Bronx. The humor is more of a minum because of that, but there's still a funny couple good moments. I think the plot is interesting and suspensful, taking advantage of Kevin Chan playing an undercover agent throughout the movie. His sidekick, or should I say boss, throughout the film is played by Michelle Yeoh, also undercover along side him, and gives an equally great performance in the film. The dubbing is far better than most films, and if you prefer Jackie Chan's own English voice, he provied his own dub in Supercop. The action is used sparingly throughout the beginning of the film, making everything run a little slow. But the movie begins to progress more and more nicely throughout. The finale is huge. 15 minutes of straight all out action from fights to some of, if not, the best stunts ever done. Chan jums on and hangs from a helicopter ladder over the city, and Michelle Yeoh hangs off the side of a van for dear life and steers a motorcyle right up ontop a moving train. Its all real and its must see. Fan or no fan of Jackie Chan, this is just an all out great movie. No its not recognized as a masterpiece, but in a slightly smaller world this is A++ entertainment.

Supercop [DVD] PROS: Michelle (Khan) Yeoh's martial arts are outstanding in this film. Performing her own motorcycle stunt jumping on top of a moving train (from what I understand, she had to learn how to ride a motorcycle to do her motorcycle stunts in this movie). All her fight scenes are on par with Jackie Chan's. Her kicks and moves are flawless, precise and legit. The movie is very entertaining. Good supporting actors. Decent story. Good quality DVD resolution. Arrived within a few days. CONS: No Extras, just the movie and the outtakes at the end of the movie during the credits. I haven't been able to find Supercop in blu-ray at a decent cost. I hope they will have a special edition blu-ray someday that's reasonable in price from a reputable seller within Amazon.

I think, like many Westerners, my first introduction to Jackie Chan was "Rumble In The Bronx". I was impressed enough to start backtracking through his film history where the REAL Jackie Chan treasures lie: his early comedy brotherhood with Hung and Liu, action-adventures like "Armor Of God", and spy-actioners like "Who Am I?". Through all of them, the unique mental gymnastics that drives his physical gymnastics could be seen developing along very similar lines to Charlie Chaplin, ever-more refined. But one aspect of his films remained the same: his awkwardness with women, whether they were antagonists or love interests or colleagues. In Michelle Yeoh (Khan), and in "Supercop", he takes full advantage of the awkwardness for the first time, dealing with a character who is at first his superior and becomes his partner, an equal in every way. Her sense of timing, movement, and even comedy mirrors his. In that sense, "Supercop" rose to new levels-- and budget-- to become one of Chan's finest films.

Originally released in Hong Kong as Police Story III, Supercop teams up Hong Kong action god Jackie Chan along with Hong Kong action goddess Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) for a 90-minute match made in Hong Kong action heaven. THE STORY: Kevin Chan (Jackie), Hong Kong's recognized Supercop, is assigned on a special mission to team-up with a Red Chinese female cop, Jessica Yang (Yeoh), to infiltrate and take down a ruthless Southeast Asian crimelord. The story winds itself throughout all of Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, the Chinese countryside, the jungles of the Thai-Cambodian border and finally to the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If infiltrating the inner circle of a ruthless crimelord and not getting your cover blown is bad enough, things become just a bit more complicated for Chan and Yang when Kevin's girlfriend (Maggie Cheung), unaware that Chan is on assignment, shows up at the same location that the investigation leads them too!!! Overall it's the usual action tour-de-force you've all come to love and expect from the typical Jackie Chan flick and this movie does not disappoint with tons of shoot outs as well as the usual hand-to-hand combat. The real keeper in this movie though are the more outrageous stunts that are done, especially the movie-ending fight scenes on the train and a flying helicopter which features Chan going for a wild ride all over Kuala Lumpur. THE DVD: Well, if you're hoping for a pretty loaded DVD, you've come to the wrong place as this DVD features nothing beyond the chapter breaks and Spanish language subtitles. Easily, this is the most disappointing Chan DVD I've come across yet. The DVD is good strictly in the sense that this decent action flick is now preserved for digital posterity with a decent DVD navigation system. THE VERDICT: Overall, if you're into good action flicks, Supercop does the trick for you. While the actual fight scenes may not be as elaborate as some of the other movies Chan's had released in the US, this one does not disappoint. The story is pretty decent and the dangerous stunts at the end in K.L. are pretty adrenaline pumping. Overall, whether bought, rented or borrowed, this movie is definitely worth the watch. Recommended

Not only did I get Jackie Chan but Michele Yeoh as well OMG! She is possibly the best martial arts actress (not artist) in China. She was FANTASTIC in Wing Chun and to see her here with Jackie was just great. This is a thriller from about five minutes after it starts and your heart doesn't stop racing until about 5 minutes after it ends. You are going to have fun with this one. These two are just a giant package of dynamite together.

FINALLY! I got a copy of one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies in HD!!

I've always enjoyed Jackie Chan's movies for his creativeness and amusing fight scenes... Got this for a super cheap price on Blu-ray so I couldn't pass it up (in the process of upgrading my DVD's to Blu-ray). Wish more of his films like Rumble in the Bronx were available on Blu-ray as well... A must buy for any Jackie fan!!

This is my favorite Jackie Chan movie of all time. If you have never seen one of his movies, or if you are a fan but haven't seen this one,then do yourself a favor and watch it -- you'll like it!!!

ottimo direi

For me Police Story 3 Supercop is by far the best Police Story movie Jackie Chan made. It's an action packed thrill ride of a movie that not only sees Jackie Chan on top form but Michelle Yeoh is terrific in this movie too. After a few years out of the business this was Michelle Yeoh's big comeback and in my humble opinion she puts in a career defining, martial-arts and stunt action, performance. One of the highlights being when she jumps on a motorbike onto the top of a moving train. Simply breathtaking! The story follows a similar pattern to the previous movies as Jackie's character, Hong Kong's super cop, is the only one who can infiltrate a criminal gang and sent to China he teams up with Michelle Yeoh. There's some funny moments as you'd expect from Chan but this is an excellent example of what Jackie Chan used to do so well, great martial-arts with amazing stunt work. 9/10 brilliant film.

This is one of my all-time favourite movies. The action is great, it's terrific fun, and at a certain point Chan and Yeoh just do one insane stunt after another. All of my extended family and friends have always wished that Chan and Yeoh did more movies like this together.

毎回の命知らずのスタントには 頭が下がります。マギーチャンの コメディエンヌぶりも最高(^^) 特典ディスクのインタビューも、 見応えある内容でした(^^)
