Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Martin Bradley Jackie Chan is the "Supercop" of the title in Stanley Tong's martial arts caper. Forget about the plot and just sit back and enjoy the spectacular stunts, broad comedy, (it's even funnier in this dubbed version), and first rate action sequences including an absolutely terrific climatic chase scene involving a train, a helicopter and a rope ladder between the two while the redoubtable Michelle Yeoh proves to be every bit Chan's equal when the chips are down. Not a Chan classic perhaps but hugely entertaining nevertheless.
Sean Newgent 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.
TheFilmGuy1 (I should preface this review by saying I sadly watched the Bluray release of this that only has the dubbed English track and the added rap music and what not. I also heard it has some scenes taken out and what not. A little disappointed by this copy, but oh well.)Police Story 3 (Or Supercop) is certainly an entertaining film. Where it lacks in story, it certainly makes up for it in stunt work. Your jaw will constantly be on the floor during the action sequences. The story here is... pretty weak. Jackie Chan goes undercover to stop... a bad guy who sells drugs? Or buys them? It can be quite unclear and confusing. So if anything brings this movie down, it would be the story.Luckily, the film is jammed full of some amazing stunts. Chinese/Hong Kong action films almost always impress, and this film is no exception. The last 15 minutes of so has some really crazy stunt work. I have no idea how they allowed the actors and stunt men to do the things they do, because they are risking their lives by doing them. There's a fight on a moving train where they have no safety harnesses or anything. Jackie Chan hangs from a ladder on a helicopter that is flying extremely high above the city. Michelle Yeoh jumps onto a moving train on a dirt bike. It's crazy but makes the film exhilarating to watch. You feel the danger within the scene, and it's a thrill. There's also a fair amount of comedy in this film, which is something that I can be a little weary about in action, but it works in this film. It surprisingly doesn't take away from the intensity, and it just works to make the film more entertaining and fun to watch.This is a film that needs to be seen by action fans. It could have been stronger story wise, but it contains some stunts that many would consider among the best. Check it out if you wanna have some mindless, cheesy fun.
lbcharlie05 This is a great example of Jackie Chan's mind at work. He knows how to make the best action/comedies and his loyal fans appreciate his efforts. As well as having great costars who can act the part, it must be noted that Maggie Cheung did ALL of her own stunts. The out takes are worth the price of admission, alone. When they show Maggie falling on Jackie wearing the bomb vest, you can tell how much fun they had working together. And the number of takes it took to get it right is evident. His girlfriend in the movie could not have been more cute and helpless. Women 'lobbers' might not care for this as much as the rest of us. When he started coming to the US to meet with directors and producers, he had a lot of time to kill,so he became familiar with the work of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd.The comedic influence of these two silent film giants is very obvious.
