After the dissapointing Police Story 2, Jackie steps off the director chair and let's Stanley Tong do the job. This entry in the series tones down the acrobatic fights trademarked by Chan, focusing more in vehicle chases, shoot-outs and regular (but well coreographed of course) hand to hand fights, and instead of Ka Kui running around Hong Kong, he travels from country to country while infiltrating a gang of drug dealers. Funnily enough this feels more of a natural sequel to the original than the jarring Police Story 2. The addition of Michelle Yeoh's Capt Yang brings a lot of freshness and contrast to Chan's Ka Kui wacky and hot-blooded persona, and steals the show for the most part. The only downside is that most of the secondary characters from the previous movies are either ditched or have just small roles. Still, you can go wrong with this one.

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.

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?

The version I'm reviewing is from the Chinese import DVD. Great follow up from police story one and two. Less action heavy than the first two films and darker in tone yet still has a lot of comedy thrown in. The plot that fills the gaps between action sequences is a lot more engaging than 90% of Jackie Chan's output. Acting performances arn't gonna win any awards but the cast does a good enough job of it Michelle yeoh in particular is a standout , id say this is the best demo of her work pre crouching tiger. The two villains of the piece Kenneth tsang and yuen wah are pretty memorable in there scenes and are both likable and villainous in equal measure. Action wise the film is less stunt heavy than previous entry's but makes up for it with very extreme stunts towards the end. There is a lot of hand to hand/ foot fighting and a larger focus on gun-play in this film which is a breath of fresh air because the film could have easily just been a rehash of parts one and two. As it stands super cop is as good as the first two police story films and id consider it to slightly surpass them. If you have 90 min to spare you cant go wrong watching this film.
