Critics Consensus

Blending hand-to-hand combat with breathtaking stunts and slapstick comedy, Supercop reminds us why Jackie Chan is one of the world's great entertainers.

What fuels "Cop" is its percolating, laugh-out-loud wit.

in what might be read as a measure of Changeover avant la lettre, or pre-Reunification... the duo’s sometimes squabbling, sometimes cooperative teamwork marks both the similarities and differences between Chinese People’s Republic and the Queen’s colony.

Supercop could become GoldenEye. What’s most depressing is that audiences might not mind.

Rated: 1/4

Certainly, Police Story III: Supercop knows a thing or two about martial arts and even more about action.

Rated: 3/4

Elements of Madness

Even with the new ingredients, "Super Cop" possesses all the hallmarks of a Chan film: breathtaking stunts, practical effects, and a great deal of humor to offset the drama.

As you’d expect, there are several great action sequences and the usual superb choreography. Police Story 3: Supercop is a heady mix of charm, humour and a great deal of fun.

Minha opinião: Nesta 3ª sequência acertaram a mão. Depois do 2º ter sido um fiasco. Aqui Jackie redimiu, trazendo a atriz Michelle como sua parceira. Onde as policias da China e Hong Kong fazem uma parceria para prender um grande traficante. E para se infiltrar na quadrilha ele se disfarça de alguém que o ajuda a fugir da prisão. Nesta fuga ele passa na sua casa fictícia onde Michelle também acaba se infiltrando na organização. E aqui novamente temos uma mulher que eles devem proteger que é a esposa do traficante. Que tem senha da conta do banco do marido. E assim com grande ação e muitas lutas e como sempre uma boa dose de uma boa risadas. Uma das melhores cenas se passa no meio da selva onde tem uma cena icônica de Jackie e Michelle. E depois temos o gran finale que a lutas. Onde tem a cena no helicóptero e Jackie sob os vagões do trem. Umas de suas cenas mais perigosas de sua vida. Michelle faz uma atuação primordial aqui. Tanto que depois ela faz um filme solo dela como policial. A atuação de Maggie aqui é muito boa e aparece mais no filme resgatando uma maior parcicipação nesta 3, trazendo boas inrrascadas e boas risadas. Aqui quem mudou o chefe da policia. Roteiro e enredo melhorou muito Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8

Brisker, more plot-driven and set in more locales, "Ging chaat goo si III: Chiu kup ging chaat" is, perhaps surprisingly, an improvement upon the first two films. Jackie Chan meets his match in Michelle Yeoh, who brings really good acting skills and great stunt work to the table. Next to the engaging and occasionally funny undercover theme, their chemistry is what makes this film, as it's believable and fun, doesn't give in to cliches and greatly contributes to the suspense of several sequences.

With Jackie Chan out of the director's chair and the writing room, Super Cop is definitely a turning point for the Police Story franchise, but in a good way. The new script downplays the domestic comedy that was so oddly prevalent in the first two films (and probably constitutes the biggest weakness in both) in favor of a more traditional Hong Kong action design, with much more in the way of gunplay and large-scale stuntwork. There's still a fair bit of comedy at play, but it makes much more sense in the context of the film rather than rolling out buffoonery for its own sake. Michelle Yeoh dabbles in some fight choreography and proves herself an even match for Chan's acting style, plus there's a welcome sense of brutality that the first sequel was sorely lacking. Lots of creativity at play, including a great Point Break-style undercover operation and a murder by durian fruit. The action sequences in this film are years ahead of anything that Hollywood was putting together at the same time. The one thing that this franchise still can't seem to figure out is how to put together a compelling ending. The big action finale happens, then there's two lines of dialogue, then credits. Gotta get some breathing room to appreciate the spectacle! (3.5/5)

A decent Chan outing with a clear increase to the budget and cinematography and yet something is missing from the charm I felt in the first 2 outings. Certainly worth a watch.

A roller-coaster of a film that has everything you could want and is definitely one of the best action movies, actually one of the best movies ever made. The Chinese hardly make bad sequels.
