Summary: More of a James Bond outing than Police Story, but who cares
Review: I wasn't expecting much from this one, but I was really surprised. This is one of Jackie's best movies (there's so many of them). One thing that surprised me (in a bad way) is that Jackie was killing people. In his other movies he just beats the living snot out them. The final fight scene on the roof of a train is amazing (if a little predictable). Just a shame that they stole the music score from Batman.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a great flick.
Review: I've seen this movie many of times. It still doesn't get boring. This release has many good things going for it.

The kung fu is on point, and the action and gun fire seem fitting and realistic.

Michelle Yeoh add another element to Jackie Chan's film that seems to hold the film to a higher quality.

Her kung fu is on point, too. This is probably my favorite of the Jackie Chan films.

Compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I believe this is better, simply because the action is better.

Summary: Supercop
Review: Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh rock in Supercop! Jackie plays as an undercover Hong Kong cop that must infiltrate a Chinese gang and stop their corrupt drug trafficking. With the help of Michelle Yeoh, who is also undercover with him, it's up to them to stop this gang and get their dirty money back and give it to their government.

This is an awesome film! The action is really great in this movie and of the first wave of the Jackie Chan movies that hit mainstream in the U.S. in the mid to late 90/s (RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, FIRST STRIKE and SUPERCOP), this is my favorite. It's also very funny as well. There's a good set of laughs throughout the movie. And of course, Jackie's patented outtakes in this one are REALLY Good (ie: helicoptor).

Check this one out and also check out some of Jackie's other greats like RUSH HOUR and RUSH HOUR 2, RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, WHO AM I and OPERATION CONDOR. Also check out Michelle Yeoh in CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON.

Summary: Supercop is mediocre
Review: Jackie Chan's Supercop was one of his less efforts. I had been expecting great hand-to-hand combat, but most of the film featured too many car chases and so on and so forth. The humor was actually pitiful and the plot was, well, not exactly there. There's plenty of action in this movie so it should satisfy some fans. I would recommend First Strike and Who Am I? instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Powerhouse Action From The Kung Fu Comedy King Of Stunts
Review: Known in Hong Kong as "Police Story III: Supercop", this movie has Jackie Chan throwing some of the hardest punches and kicks I've ever seen him throw in any of his other movies. Check out the fight between Chan and the Chinese soldier in the beginning... one word, AMAZING!!! This movie is also the first time I have seen the incredibly talented, and flexible, Michelle Khan, or now known as Michelle Yeoh, in action. This incredible movie has so many mind blowing stunts that it will leave you breathless at the end. You love martial arts? You love action movies? Then go see this super movie!!!

Summary: Good Action movie + decent Chan movie = Woo hoo!
Review: Let me say I'm a big fan of Michelle Yeoh, whom Co-stars in this movie, but she ends up not showing off her martial arts prowess as much as I'd like. At any rate, this was a good action movie, all you new fans of Chan will probably not want to get this one yet, but you action fans that liked "Blade," or "Universal Soldier" will love this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Michelle Yeoh!...(co-staring Jackie Chan)
Review: 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.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I LOVE JACKIE BUT THIS ONE JUST DOESN'T CUT IT
Review: Now, I'm sorry, but I just did not like this movie at all. Since when do you find sex in a Jackie Chan movie. Every Chan movie I've seen has been appropriate for kids under 8 and then I saw this and I did not think some scenes were appropriate, plus there weren't too many great "Chan" stunts. It was a watered down Jackie Chan. Before you buy this, rent it, or buy Who Am I?
