Review of Supercop

Supercop (1992)
7/10
The Best of the "Police Story" Pictures So Far
19 November 2015
When he hears of a special mission that requires a "supercop" from Hong Kong, "Inspector Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) is more than happy to volunteer. However, due to the fact that the mission is in mainland China this requires Chan Ka Kui to inform his girlfriend "May" (Maggie Cheung) that he will be gone for a month. Obviously, since this is a secret mission he can't tell her hardly anything about it. For that matter, he doesn't know too much to tell. What is even worse is the fact that he is totally unaware that he will be teaming up and working in close proximity with a female, Red Chinese equivalent named "Inspector Jessica Yang" (Michelle Yeoh). Neither does he know the trip will eventually lead him and Jessica Yang to Malaysia-where his extremely jealous girlfriend just happens to be guiding a tour group. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I consider this film to be the best of the "Police Story" pictures so far. Naturally, it has an abundance of action but it's the humor which I thought was especially good. In any case, I enjoyed this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
