If you're tired of burned-out coppers in Hollywood's blockbusters, try this offbeat hero from Hong Kong.
Top CriticTo watch Jackie Chan, Hong Kong's king of kung fu comedy, in the fresh and exhilarating Super Cop is like watching Douglas Fairbanks Sr. or one of the silent era clowns in one of their biggest hits.
Sly and Schwartzy, eat your hearts out. Chan's the man.
The most powerful starring role for a woman this summer? My vote goes to Michelle Khan in this garish, frenetic, and funny chopper from Rumble in the Bronx director Stanley Tong.
All this is executed with a good deal of panache, if not originality, by stunt coordinator Stanley Tong.
With martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, older may be better.
This is riotous fun throughout.
A movie that shows Chan in top form.
By its second half, Supercop cranks up into such an extravaganza of fighting, blowing things up, spin-kicking, punch throwing and death-defying that it all but takes your breath out of your lungs and packs it up for shipment to Hong Kong.
The final half-hour makes it all worthwhile, and what makes Chan's work continually astonishing is that the actor does all his own stunts.
It's not my favorite Jackie Chan film, but it's still a good one.
It's a blast to watch the action sequences, which offer more than just hand-to-hand martial arts.
Supercop isn't art, but it sure is great junk food.
Chan's daredevil persona creates a fun but never graphically violent action movie. [published 7-26-96]
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.
One of Chan's best. The fantastic Michelle Khan upstages him beautifully.
Few will argue that this is one of Chan's best films; I say it's the best.
Supercop is punctuated with action sequences not even the Bond films can touch.
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.
A muddy script structure and some very weak attempts at comedy hamper the flow of the film...
