The greatest movie ever!

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

People are voting emotionally.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

A slicker, glossier and altogether bigger sequel to the first two in the POLICE STORY series, this is another triumph for action man Jackie Chan, this time teamed with the inimitable Michelle Yeoh to deliver some seriously effective thrills and spills. The movie flies along effortlessly and is packed with tension, comedy, and lots of fun antics along the way as Chan and Yeoh infiltrate a gang of drug pushers and desperately attempt to stop getting their covers blown. When staying at a hotel resort, Chan's girlfriend May turns up and all kind of desperate hijinks ensue which are a delight to watch. The action sequences rely more heavily on guns and vehicles here which makes for a pleasing change, although there is a sufficient amount of martial arts combat to appeal to Chan's loyal devotees.This time around, links to the first two films are severed as new locations are introduced and old characters dropped into the background. No superintendent Raymond this time, although Uncle Bill puts in a small but funny turn and Maggie Cheung is around for some comedy antics and looking as lovely as ever. Most of the emphasis comes on Chan and Yeoh, who sparkle with great chemistry, and some nice nasty bad guys in Kenneth Tsang and Yuen Wah. Even Shaw Brothers legend Lo Lieh has a small but welcome role. The action is constant and never-ending, ranging from a major drug deal turned shoot-out and a fight with the police in the restaurant.However, where this film really scores is in the intense final twenty minutes of the climax, which is basically one huge chase taking in cars, vans, a helicopter, and finally a train. I've always been a fan of train-top battles and this offers one of the best with plenty of fights and dangerous situations. Chan's major stunt involving hanging on to a rope ladder from a flying helicopter high in the sky, whilst Yeoh gobsmacks the viewer with a motorbike jump on to a moving train which easily beats Arnie's similar stunt in TERMINATOR 2 by virtue of the fact that it isn't faked - this is real, no wires. Great fights, acting, humour, and production values make this film a feather in the cap of all involved.

A Hong Kong detective (Jackie Chan) teams up with his female Red Chinese counterpart (Michelle Yeoh) to stop a Chinese drug czar.In 2009, director Quentin Tarantino named "Police Story III" as one of his favorite films of the past seventeen years. He stated that "Supercop" features the "greatest stunts ever filmed in any movie ever." In 2016 during a roundtable discussion, when asked which movie scene he would love to save for the last of humanity to see, he named the final scene of the movie as his choice.Tarantino knows movies, and he knows kung fu. I doubt any other American director has the knowledge he does regarding the history of the Asian action film, so when he says this has the best scenes, he knows exactly what he is talking about. As usual, I love that the film has a hint of humor right under the surface. Jackie Chan never takes himself so seriously, and why should he?

As far as Jackie Chan movies go, I can't say that Supercop is suggested, nor does it excel in many fields. It's an average, easy to watch movie with a pretty basic story (Chan goes undercover, meets another undercover agent, and then takes down a drug lord) and some occasionally decent action sequences. The ending is about the only part of the movie that truly shines with a really neat train sequence, but the rest is nothing we haven't seen before. Chan beats someone up, shoots someone, and there's a lot of needless explosions.As a Police Story movie, I can't say it's the weakest as I've yet to watch the second film, but compared to the fourth (which has one of the most memorable Chan action sequences) and the first (which also contains one of the best action sequences he's done), this one falls flat. It's just another average Jackie Chan police movie in a long line of Jackie Chan cop films.

Third time is the charm for this franchise. The previous two movies is good, but this one is better. Not only does it have a better storyline, it has better action as well. This time Jackie Chan as a cop is going undercover in order to infiltrate a Chinese criminal organization. And it has some good action and slapstick humor along the way. Which is expected from Jackie Chan movies. It's just done really well in this one. Maggie Cheung is back again as May(Jackie's girlfriend in the movie). And again she goes through getting put into another conflicting situation. She must really love the hero of this franchise Jackie. It just seems like she is constantly being used as a plot device to put the hero through one troublesome situation after another in this franchise. But at least she is incorporated into the plot somewhat instead of a girlfriend character that pops up once in a while for irrelevant reasons in movies. The relationship between the two reminded me of Mario and Princess Peach. To spice things up a bit, Michelle Yeoh is in this as well and plays the partner in the undercover work with Jackie Chan. And she actually adds a lot to the film and her fighting and stunt works are just fantastic. This movie alone shows how great of a stunt-woman she really is and plus she is a actress. And highly entertaining to watch, probably a bit more than Jackie in this case. Maybe it's because I enjoy the female lead kicking ass in movies. Also when it comes to the undercover work, there is actually quite a bit of creativity and good humor behind it as well. In a lot of cases the third installment just isn't as good as the previous ones. But in this case the third installment is better...Well until the 4th installment. If your one of the audiences that liked the previous Police Story films, there is a high chance you will enjoy this one. This is one of the best buddy cop movie I seen. Although it lacks in bonding development, it backs it up with the chemistry between the two and the action sequences.7.9/10
