    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 thinki... read moreng 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!).

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

    Classic Jackie Chan in his prime.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

With martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, older may be better. Full Review

Supercop is a chance to get a full-strength blast of Chan. Full Review

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.

Supercop is a better movie than Rumble in the Bronx, in large part because it's funnier. Full Review

Chan is fun to watch, no matter what silliness one has to put up with.

Supercop's biggest flaw is what its producers probably saw as its greatest strength: it's very American. Full Review

It's kind of silly, but how many movies boast a leading man who isn't afraid to order 'roast cat and string beans' at a Chinese restaurant?

John Hartl

John Hartl, Film.com

An astonishingly fluid and funny movie that makes most American action pictures seem lethargic.

A wild and free-wheeling action film, vastly superior to this year's Rumble in the Bronx in both plot and action. Full Review

It's not my favorite Jackie Chan film, but it's still a good one. Full Review
