Critic Reviews

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
With martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, older may be better.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Supercop is a chance to get a full-strength blast of Chan.
Keith Simanton, Film.com
Jackie Chan makes his second leap at the American movie audience, following up Rumble in the Bronx with a far sharper mix of stunts, martial arts and Chan's own brand of breathtaking slapstick comedy.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Supercop is a better movie than Rumble in the Bronx, in large part because it's funnier.
Sean Means, Film.com
Chan is fun to watch, no matter what silliness one has to put up with.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Supercop's biggest flaw is what its producers probably saw as its greatest strength: it's very American.
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
It's not my favorite Jackie Chan film, but it's still a good one.
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
It's a blast to watch the action sequences, which offer more than just hand-to-hand martial arts.
Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Supercop isn't art, but it sure is great junk food.
Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Chan's daredevil persona creates a fun but never graphically violent action movie. [published 7-26-96]
Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope
Don't go into this film expecting a lot of deep meaning or heavy emotions, but if you like action films you will be entertained.
Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
One of Chan's best. The fantastic Michelle Khan upstages him beautifully.
Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Few will argue that this is one of Chan's best films; I say it's the best.
Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Supercop is punctuated with action sequences not even the Bond films can touch.
Dragan Antulov, rec.arts.movies.reviews
The plot is nothing more than an excuse for the series of spectacular action sequences in which Chan shows both his physical skills and great sense of humour.
Almar Haflidason, BBC
A muddy script structure and some very weak attempts at comedy hamper the flow of the film...
Scott Renshaw, Scott Renshaw's Screening Room
Capable female action stars are a non-entity in Hollywood, but Khan packs a wallop both literally and in her screen presence.

Some of the best action sequences you will find in any movie. One of the high marks in both Jackie and Michelle's career.

One the Jackie Chan Movies I hate to say it bored me

Depending on your whereabouts in the world, this film may go under any one of the following titles: Supercop 2 (USA), Once a Cop, Police Story 3 Part 2, Police Story 4: Project S, Police Story V, Project S (UK), Supercop (also UK). Whatever the title, do not be fooled into thinking that this is a Jackie Chan film; yes, he does appear in the movie, but only briefly and in a scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film. Michelle Yeoh, however, plays the same character as she did in Police Story 3 (which was known as Supercop in the US and did star JC?are you keeping up?), a hard-as-nails mainland Chinese cop named Yang. She is called to Hong Kong to lend her expertise and assist in the apprehension of a gang of Chinese criminals who are pulling heists right left and centre and peeing-off the local cops. The police operations are going swimmingly until Yang recognises one of the criminals as Cheng Feng, her boyfriend from China who left for HK to find his fortune, and the two become reacquainted under somewhat difficult circumstances. With a decidedly routine plot, Project S needed to be something special in the action department in order to compensate, but despite some cracking fight action towards the end, there is far too much quiet time spent between bouts. The action is also geared towards gun-play rather than martial arts, so those expecting a full on fight-fest will be disappointed. That is not to say that Yeoh and co-stars don't display some wonderful skills from time to time; the high kicking action is pretty good when it happens?it just doesn't happen often enough. The final half an hour, which has the gang attempt a daring bank robbery, offers the best dose of action, with Yang going up against a foe twice her size (and kicking ass, of course!). Director Stanley Tong and star Michelle Yeoh have both made far better films than this, but if your expectations are not set too high, you may find Project S a reasonable way to spend your time (although 105 minutes was a tad too long for me!).
Tim S

A fun action movie with Jackie Chan's usual bumbling character manner. Had a lot of fun watching this one.
Taylor B

Classic Jackie Chan in his prime.
Dean M

Excitement and superb action. It is like watching a James Bond film, only with real death-defying stunts what Jackie Chan and Michelle Yoeh did. It's true - check out the end credits of this film.
xGary X

The best of the Police Story movies, and possibly my favourite Jackie Chan. A bit grittier and less humourous than the others, with some truly spectacular stunts. And the magnificent Michelle Yeoh.
Khris N

Action Classic! - jackie rulez - but meet the female jackie - Michelle Yeoh - shes not as funny but kicks ass harder than jackie!!!
Steven V

The best of the Police Story movies. This film features some awesome action and daring stunts (as to be expected), in particular, the Motorbike jump onto the moving train.
Joseph E

You might like this action film as "Chan" has never been better.

Good Jackie Chan movie. I love Jackie Chan, and this is one of his best. Supercop was a lot more violent than I thought it would be, and the story was well told and believable. Asian Screen goddesses Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung provide the support, and the stunts at times were jaw dropping, especially in a scene where Yeoh does a motorcycle jump onto a train. Also it was hard to tell who was the most kick-ass in this movie, as Yeoh was so awesome.
Anthony V

Made me a Michelle Yeoh fan.
Christopher B

Great follow up to the amazing Police Story with great stunts and another great Jackie performance.
