  Review by demi adejuyigbe 9

  The opening credits have the same energy as the early Fast & Furious movies, or any of those "you wouldn't steal a DVD" commercials, and that tone only gets crazier once the speaking starts and you realize the whole thing's dubbed.

  The final sequence makes this movie, but it really doesn't have the same feel as the first two Police Story movies. I'm glad they tried to make it as goofy as the first one, but it's not goofy in the same way! Something very... American about it all. Maybe it's the reliance on editing in the fights as opposed to shooting them wide like the first two films, maybe it's that they use Jackie Chan in a way that feels…

  That Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh never starred together again on-screen after Supercop is an outright tragedy.

  Everything about these 2 together in this movie is, quite simply, absolute perfection.

  And the rest is pretty damn awesome too.

  Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh. That's all you need to know, really, but the cherry-on-top is the final twenty minutes: an helicopter/bus/train action set-piece that looks like a death wish for all involved. Staggering.

  Police Story 3 had me in awe for that entire climax. My jaw was literally hanging open. It's a miracle Jackie Chan is alive, he has never flirted with death so closely before. That helicopter sequence makes all his prior stunts look like cakewalks. And Michelle Yeoh is best addition to the series, she is total badass & also did all her own stunts same like Jackie Chan.

  Yeah drug lords are pretty bad, but the real crime is how Maggie Cheung is treated throughout the whole trilogy. Girl, you deserve better.

  Stanley Tong makes some interesting choices, namely adding a few more cuts here and there and shooting the fights from a slightly higher angle. It's a bit Westernized. And I'm not a big fan of Jackie getting into a huge gunfight. But then the train/helicopter/motorbike finale happens and all that stuff just doesn't matter anymore.

  Michelle Yeoh’s motorcycle jump onto a moving train is so sick, but the outtakes where she MISSES are insane. Cannot believe she survived making this movie. That final sequence where Jackie Chan goes full Buster Keaton has to be in the conversation for best action scene.

  Much love to Maggie Cheung who gets 1) kicked into a pool and 2) thrown out of a helicopter. Better luck next time Maggie.

  Review by 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗢𝗪 ℝ𝔼𝕍𝕀𝔼𝕎 ★★★★½

  As Jackie Chan steps back from directing duties to pave way for Stanley Tong, he also switches up the focus from Ka-Kui as a lone force, into an almost buddy-cop scenario that brings the franchise up to speed with the likes of Lethal Weapon or Tango and Cash.

  The movie opens with Ka-Kui now being described as the titular "super cop". Which makes sense after everything he's single-handedly done before. This is where Die Hard got it wrong - John McClane can't be an everyman cop in a vest after he's taken out dozens of terrorists in both the Nakatomi Plaza and Dulles airport.

  Anyway, I digress... The "super cop" is called in to take down a drug lord on…

  Review by Ben Peterson ★★★★

  Michelle "I can beat you up" Yeoh's highlight reel of why she was NOT kidding. And also why I would gladly let her. Motorbike jump insane stunt rules, but it's the fight that comes after it atop that train that seals the deal for me.

  I love watching Hong Kong action movies with my friends who don't watch a ton of movies, because they always walk away thrilled and then they usually ask me how everyone who made the movie didn't die in the process of creating the stunts.

  Review by Steve G 🇵🇸 🇾🇪 ★★★½ 5

  The last 15 minutes of Supercop are AMAZING. No matter what your filmwatching preferences happen to be and no matter whether you like Jackie Chan films or not, that quarter of an hour is some of the most amazing stuff ever put on film.

  Amazing and unbelievably stupid, that is. Watching Jackie dangling from a rope ladder underneath a helicopter a couple of hundred feet off the ground, Michelle Yeoh trying to jump on a moving train with a motorbike, and then an extremely dangerous looking train-top fight scene complete with still active helicopter nearby makes you wonder about the sanity of those involved. Talk about suffering for your art! it makes me wonder, although they are very different cases,…

  Supercop? More like Super Undercover soldier spy.

  "Super cops in Hong Kong are cheap and plentiful like commodities in supermarkets."

  In the third entry of the Police Story franchise, Jackie Chan continued to evolve the direction of these movies. And while it still does not have the charm of the original, it does far exceed part 2 and has much improved production value. It was great getting to see this in HD with all the solid camera work, which was so much more bright and vibrant.

  Funny Note: I kept waiting to see Jackie in his solid black outfit like on the poster. But his scene…
