Movie Reviews of Supercop

Movie Review: Vintage Chan--and Chan's the Man
Summary: 5 Stars

In this great action film, Jackie Chan plays an undercover Hong Kong cop with attitude. He's sent to Communist China on a joint operation to break a drug smuggling ring. The chief cop he's supposed to work with is a gorgeous young woman (Michelle Khan). She mistakes his breezy attitude for softness and he has to duke it out with the martial arts instructor of the Beijing police academy.

The dubbing is simply awful but that's part of the fun. The two cops stage a prison break for the brother of the drug lord they are out to get and manage to infiltrate the criminal gang. The plot takes us through most of the countries of Southeast Asia and the stunts get more and more hair-raising. The American edition is only 91 minutes long, but I'm sure only the dull explanatory stuff has been cut.

Summary of Supercop

High-octane gas, pumped out by the buoyant maestro of Hong Kong action, Jackie Chan. In this outing, the irrepressible Chan plays a Hong Kong cop teamed up (gloriously) with a Chinese inspector played by Michelle Yeoh (a.k.a. Michelle Khan). The plot ranges all over Southeast Asia, culminating with Jackie hanging from a helicopter ladder high over the streets of Kuala Lumpur. This one's notable for the ingenuity of the stunts, and for allowing two of Asia's top female stars to do their bad thing. The great Maggie Cheung (Chinese Box) plays Chan's girlfriend, who has a tendency to pop up at the most inopportune moments; and Yeoh executes a hair-raising motorcycle jump onto a moving train--an absolute jaw-dropper. Originally released as Police Story III, the picture was rereleased in America as Supercop in 1996, after Chan's U.S. breakthrough with Rumble in the Bronx. The new version is slightly shorter than the original, and features a new soundtrack of English-language dialogue (awkwardly dubbed, but that's par for the course) and blaring rock music. Great fun any way you slice it, and--for the uninitiated--a terrific introduction to the humorous, high-kicking world of Jackie Chan. --Robert Horton
