Review
I will admit, for my first Michelle Yeoh movie where SHE is in the spotlight, this did not dissapoint.
The movie has subtle comedy at times, especially with scenes between Guang and Yeoh. It doesn't have a lot, trust me, but when it does it is pretty funny.
The movie has a very great casting choice, a good score, and good voice dubbing for 1998.
The action may not be as eye catching as you see in the first 3 other Police Story movies, but it still doesn't dissapoint.
And for the people who were expecting a one by one film to Supercop, ehmmm... no. But there are some subtle references, in the dialogue, and even during the fights!
Oh, and yeah, there is a lot of glass breaking in this movie, as is with the first 2 Police Story films with Jackie Chan.
But one thing that does annoy me is the opening credits. The way it goes is this - action scene, credit, action scene, credit, and it goes ON AND ON for 3 minutes. I mean, if you're GOING to put credits in between an action scene, place them as text on the bottom of the screen, or at least dedicate 2 minutes to the opening credits!
Anyways, the film is pretty good, fight scenes are good, dubbing is good.
Oh, yeah, that Chackie Jan guy is good as well.
Rating: 6.3/10
Watch Supercop 2 on
