Why so much hype?
StunnaKrypto
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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 slicker, glossier and altogether bigger sequel to the first two in the POLICE STORY series, this is another triumph for action man Jackie Chan, this time teamed with the inimitable Michelle Yeoh to deliver some seriously effective thrills and spills. The movie flies along effortlessly and is packed with tension, comedy, and lots of fun antics along the way as Chan and Yeoh infiltrate a gang of drug pushers and desperately attempt to stop getting their covers blown. When staying at a hotel resort, Chan's girlfriend May turns up and all kind of desperate hijinks ensue which are a delight to watch. The action sequences rely more heavily on guns and vehicles here which makes for a pleasing change, although there is a sufficient amount of martial arts combat to appeal to Chan's loyal devotees.This time around, links to the first two films are severed as new locations are introduced and old characters dropped into the background. No superintendent Raymond this time, although Uncle Bill puts in a small but funny turn and Maggie Cheung is around for some comedy antics and looking as lovely as ever. Most of the emphasis comes on Chan and Yeoh, who sparkle with great chemistry, and some nice nasty bad guys in Kenneth Tsang and Yuen Wah. Even Shaw Brothers legend Lo Lieh has a small but welcome role. The action is constant and never-ending, ranging from a major drug deal turned shoot-out and a fight with the police in the restaurant.However, where this film really scores is in the intense final twenty minutes of the climax, which is basically one huge chase taking in cars, vans, a helicopter, and finally a train. I've always been a fan of train-top battles and this offers one of the best with plenty of fights and dangerous situations. Chan's major stunt involving hanging on to a rope ladder from a flying helicopter high in the sky, whilst Yeoh gobsmacks the viewer with a motorbike jump on to a moving train which easily beats Arnie's similar stunt in TERMINATOR 2 by virtue of the fact that it isn't faked - this is real, no wires. Great fights, acting, humour, and production values make this film a feather in the cap of all involved.

Once again Chan Returns for another instalment of the Police Story movies and once again he truly pushes all his stunt work even further with some amazing action sequences. It introduces a welcomed Michelle Yeoh into the mix and creates what may be one of the greatest chase scenes in the history of cinema.Firstly Chan is back as the devoted and skilled inspector Chan. Whilst he does have a few opportunities to demonstrate his comedic prowess, for the most part the film is a lot more serious than previous instalments to the Police Story films. Instead the film gives him a few opportunities to show a more dramatic range of acting skill. But obviously Jackie's greatest talent has always been in his stunt work and it is showcased brilliantly here, dodging helicopter blades and jumping away from explosions. How he didn't already die several times over in his career is a testament to his skill. But the often show stealing delight of the film comes from Michelle Yeoh who's cast here as Chan's assisting officer. She is possibly one of the earliest and most kick ass female heroes of the action genre, with lightning fast fighting moves and matching the stunt work of Chan. Thankfully the film doesn't go for the usual clichés. It doesn't try forcing any unnecessary romance between the pair. Instead we get a welcomed equal team dynamic with both working together the same way you'd expect two skilled trainers to work together. Yeoh comes off as having slightly less field experience than Chan at one point mistakenly throwing a live grenade into a room of explosive, but is still just as skilled a fighter as Chan and comes across as a better tactician and planner. It takes a lot to even come close to a stunt master like Chan, but the fact that she even steals the show at points is a real testament to her skill. The first hour of the film is what you'd expect from a kung fu star like Jackie Chan and the Police Story films. Chan and Yeoh are both put undercover to investigate a drug ring. The story is more interesting than the previous Police Story films with the interesting undercover element and how they go about persuading the drug kingpins to let them in on the plans. There are many big scale action sequences to keep the plot going to ranging from a training sparring match with Chan against another more disciplined officer and others where Chan and Yeoh have to evade police officers who don't know they are undercover. But what really makes this film a standout even amongst a great star like Jackie Chan's work is the final chase scene. Already Police Story had it's incredible intro chase in the first film where Chan single handedly chases down a bus, but this scene blows it out of the water and is one of the greatest chase sequences put to cinema. It's fast paced, varied and has some of the most impressive stunt work put to film. It goes all over the place with Chan and Yeoh chasing the drug kingpin on top of cars, fist brawling on rooftops, dangling from helicopters and a battling on top of a train. Instead of using effects or stunt doubles for these sequences then as with all of Chan's greatest work, no effects are used whatsoever with he and Yeoh performing all the stunts themselves. Some highlights include Chan smashing through billboards whilst dangling on a helicopter and Yeoh driving a motorbike on to a moving train. The dangerousness of these stunts comes clear at the end of the film where we see Yeoh miss a jump between cars and falls to the pavement from a moving car. It's really a testament to both actors skill and devotion that they were able to pull of such an incredible sequence.The entire film is great, but that final chase alone makes the film worth watching. It really is up there amongst the best chase sequences ever put together on screen.

This is my favorite of all Jackie Chan's "Police Story" series.This movie has lot going for it. It's probably the only movie Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeo stars together, and two best talents in martial arts action movie teams up together to get the drug lord in mainland China. Covertly, this is the most comical of all the "Police Story" series drama, but has the most intense action as well. Interaction between Jackie, and Michelle is so funny, but when they get into the action scene, I would dare to say that this is THE best action movie Hong Kong has ever produced.These guys were really "Super Cops", and it's one of the few movies from the early '90s that still doesn't look dated.Simply fantastic, and highly recommended.
