Ging chaat goo si III: Chiu kup ging chaat

Plot synopsis:
《警察故事III超級警察》In this third Police Story movie, Hong Kong 'Supercop', Inspector Chan Ka-Kui is sent on a secret mission to mainland China where he is introduced to the military police force's Interpol director, Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh), who briefs him on his assignment. The target of the mission is a drug lord named Chaibat. In order to infiltrate Chaibat's Triad organization, the plan is to get close to Chaibat's henchman Panther, who is being held in a Chinese prison labor camp in Canton. Ka-Kui, posing as a petty criminal, is able to help Panther escape with the aid of Chinese military police, who eliminate Panther's men in the prison. Panther then meets up with some of his other men, and Ka-Kui helps them escape to Hong Kong.En route to Hong Kong, Ka-Kui, along with Panther and his men pass through the supposed home-village of Ka-Kui's undercover role. Panther insists that Ka-Kui visit his family there. Realizing he does not actually know anyone in the village, Ka-Kui is apprehensive but is pleasantly relieved to be greeted by undercover military police posing as his family, with Yang posing as his sister. Yang and the Chinese military police help them win Panther's trust by faking the murder of a policeman by Yang.After arriving in Hong Kong, Ka-Kui, Yang and Panther go to Chaibat's luxurious hide out. Ka-Kui and Yang succeed in winning Chaibat's trust, especially after helping his men destroy a fortified drug production lab in Thailand, somewhere in the Golden Triangle, when Chaibat betrays a number of other drug lords who are conducting a heroin deal with him.The action then shifts to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Chaibat's wife is being held in prison, and is facing the death penalty. However, Chaibat needs to keep her alive because she knows the secret codes to his Swiss bank account, and she will not reveal them to anyone but her husband.More difficulties arise when Ka-Kui happens to run into his girlfriend May at a Malaysian resort hotel. She confronts Ka-Kui, and the situation turns into a misunderstanding, with Panther believing that Ka-Kui was trying to proposition a prostitute. Later, Ka-Kui is able to corner May and explain the situation, and she finally calms down. At one point, May even manages to keep Ka-Kui from inadvertently blowing his own cover. But then, in an elevator, May tells a co-worker about Ka-Kui, and one of Panther's men overhears her. May is taken hostage, and Ka-Kui and Yang their cover now blown are forced to help Chaibat free his wife.Chaibat's scheme is successful, and May is released, as per their agreement. However, the exchange turns sour when Chaibat pushes May from his helicopter. Furious, Ka-Kui and Yang refuse to let Chaibat and his men escape. An elaborate stunt-filled action sequence begins that covers the roads, rooftops, and skies of Kuala Lumpur, finally reaching its climax aboard a speeding train, where Chaibat is killed after his helicopter collides into a tunnel and lands on him. Yang and Ka-Kui finally succeed in apprehending Chaibat's wife. Since her husband is dead, the wife decides to tell Yang and Ka-Kui the password to Chaibat's bank account and the two partners get into an argument over whether Hong Kong or China will take possession of it.

Review:
I've forgotten how great it is!Unlike most Jackie Chan movies, this one has a nice plot that is easy to understand and characters that you can easily take a liking to.
POLICE STORY III - SUPER COP (Jing Cha Gu Shi III: Chao Ji Jing Cha)(USA: Supercop) Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Technovision)Sound format: MonoPolice officer Chan Ka-kui (Jackie Chan) goes undercover within a criminal gang whose millionaire boss (Kenneth Tsang) plans to dominate the Asian heroin trade.Though co-scripted by Chan regular Edward Tang (also responsible for the first two entries in the "Police Story" franchise), POLICE STORY III - SUPER COP is slightly darker in tone than its immediate predecessors and offers a much more streamlined combination of comedy, drama and action.
This shift in focus was occasioned by the hiring of stuntman-turned-director Stanley Tong (RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, CHINA STRIKE FORCE, etc.), who keeps a tight rein on the film's narrative excesses whilst indulging some of the most spectacular action set-pieces ever filmed, *anywhere*.Nothing in the first half of the movie - Chan's fight with gymnastic beauty Sam Wong at a mainland police training center; his initiation into Tsang's criminal gang by helping the villain's brother (Yuen Wah) escape from a prison work camp; a battle with police in a crowded marketplace, etc.
Filmed with breathtaking gusto by artists working at the top of their game, this is commercial cinema at its most astounding (check the outtakes during the final credits, in which various participants come perilously close to serious injury or *death* during filming!).Maggie Cheung makes another extended cameo appearance as Chan's beleaguered girlfriend, though the film is stolen clean away by Michelle Yeoh (billed as 'Michelle Khan' in some prints) as a mainland policewoman who assists Chan in his undercover operation, and who proves to be Chan's equal during the fast and furious combat sequences (the character proved popular enough to warrant her own spin-off feature, PROJECT S, in 1993!).
(Beats me how people could shell out eight bucks a pop to see Enemy of the State aka Mercury Rising aka Absolute Power...when they could rent Supercop for two bucks and actually see something unexpected.)Of course, this film stars Jackie Chan being his usual goofy self, deftly making his extraordinary skills as a martial artist, stuntman, and physical comedian look as natural as breathing, but the other amazing talent in this piece is exhibited by the fantastic stuntwoman Michelle Yeoh (aka Michelle Khan), the same woman who for the first time blew away many Western moviegoers in Tomorrow Never Dies.
The duo of Michelle Kahn (Yeoh) and Chan is amazing, and Yeoh almost steals the show in her own right - her persona and her instance to do her own stunts (like Chan) makes her a marvel to watch - this is why she is so damn good in Tomorrow Never Dies, but its a shame the director of TND never captured her in the same way Stanley Tong does!Chan maybe getting older, and its getting harder and harder for him to surpass his best.
With most of these Jackie Chan films, you are guaranteed of getting the same material, meaning: (1) tons of violence; (2) extraordinary stunt scenes; (3) good sound; (4) some hokey dubbed voices; (5) a juvenile story with even more- juvenile attempt at humor; (6) very little profanity and blood; (7) a stupid but still enjoying movie (for at least one viewing.)All of this adds up to a "fair" rating.
The fun part of watching Chan's films are the outrageous action scenes and stunts by The Man, himself.
Overall, a dumb movie with unrealistic fight scenes (people just about get killed, but keep getting up for more!) but if you know that and just want to enjoy a lightweight action film, it serves its purpose..
A Hong Kong detective named Inspector Chan Kui (Jackie Chan) teams up with his female Red Chinese (Michelle Yeoh) counterpart to arrest a Chinese drug czar .
Then Chan looks for vengeance against the ominous villains at a cat and mouse game.This exciting movie is crammed of action-packed, spectacular fights, comedy , breathtaking stunt-work and lots of violence .
Jackie Chan is top notch as one army man fighting a group of heinous criminals and as always he makes his own stunts like is showed on the final fake-shots.
In this outing Jackie teamed up to prestigious actresses and good action stars in their own right , such as Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh or Khan .
The first version titled ¨Police story(1985)¨ directed by the same Jackie Chan was a perfect action film for enthusiastic of the genre ; the following was ¨Police story 2(1988)¨also pretty violent and with abundant humor touches.
He doesn't use stunt doubles very often and spends hours & hours going over potentially lethal special effects before finally performing them for us.Police Story 3 is a superior Chan product, much better than his paper-thin stories as of late (although this could be down to the heavy Hollywood influence that perpetrates most of the latter films, and IMHO he is worse off for it).PS3 is no different from his earlier films although on this occasion he has a more equally efficient lead in Michelle Yeoh, as his Chinese army partner.Yeoh is a perfect foil for the extroverted yet dumb Chan.
The "buddy" chemistry works surprisingly well, perhaps because we have a woman who is truly independent and can definitely look after herself, thank you very much.Chan does his usual stunts and his martial arts are good enough to get by with, although he is becoming just a tad predictable with more & more extravagant stunts for every new film.
Great action scenes with a young Jackie Chan doing all his own stunts, including some pretty incredible ones.
I tend to fastforward through the boring parts, but I still give it a 7/10 because of how amazing some of the action is 2) Michelle Yeoh, who is a superstar here - one of the best female martial arts roles of all time; don't doubt her skills, she did that motorcycle stunt for real, and it remains one of the most amazing things I have ever seen knowing how risky that wasThis is action, this is martial arts and even the boring parts are not too boring.
I leave the artistic martial arts movies for people who love them - I just want 90 minutes of mindless action to relax to most days.Definitely has to be a top 5 Chan film.
Police Story 3:Supercop (or Supercop, if you prefer) is one of Jackie Chan's best movies.
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.
With the third movie in the "Police Story" franchise Jackie Chan is indeed bringing the greatness back after a bit disappointing part two in comparison to part one.Part three brings lots of action, fighting and fun.
And oh boy does she shine and impress in "Police Story 3: Supercop" (aka "Ging chat goo si 3: Chiu kup ging chat")."Police Story 3: Supercop" has the trademark combination of action, stunts and laughs that Jackie Chan is known and famous for.If you enjoy Hong Kong cinema and Jackie Chan movies then you most definitely don't want to miss out on "Police Story 3: Supercop"..
Supercop brings together Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh two of the best biggest stars from Hong Kong and both made successful transitions to Hollywood films.
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.
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..
so obviosly i had to see supercop as id heard it was his best yet, and i can honestly say it isn't nowhere near, but it's still a good chan flick that delivers the goods there is some breathtaking stunts, brilliant fight scenes the perfect recipe for a great chan flick, i thought the movie was a bit dull in places but it has enough action to keep you glued, it's nowhere near as enjoyable as rumble in the bronx or who am i, but it's still a solid chan flick.
Supercop has it all...great direction, solid story, good pacing, and best of all, it has Michelle Yeoh!
I like many of the Jackie Chan movies, but this one, featuring Michelle Yeoh, is probably my favorite.
There is a drug syndicate on the loose and thus the Chinese government wants the help of Hong Kong in dealing with the problem, so the Hong Kong police send their 'supercop', Ka Kui (Chan), the hero from the previous 2 Police Story films.There are some exceelent action scenes, and for a change they don't always include Jackie, as Michelle Yeoh co-stars and has a go herself.The bad parts of this film IMHO were when they tried to include the old 'Police Story' elements into the film.
Police Story 3 continues the exploits of Hong Kong's favourite cop and delivers another quality action movie,although it is definitely a notch down from the first two films.
However there are some good laughs,especially one scene where Chan has to pretend he's from a village he's never been to,and the film recovers for a terrific last third packed with amazing action,including Chan hanging on a helicopter being bashed on buildings,Chan fighting villains on top of a train,and Yeoh,not to be completely outdone,jumping from a motorbike onto the {moving} train.Probably the least of the Police Story films then but there's still great fun to be had.
It's easy to follow and while you may argue that a lot of it is predictable (all Jackie Chan's films are predictable) there is coherence and no wasted filler in the film at all.The stunts in Police Story 3 is top notch, especially towards the end with scenes of Jackie dangling 100 meters off the air.
True to all Jackie Chan's films, the bad guys tend to be forgettable (with exceptions).Still, along with Project A, Drunken Master 1&2, Supercop (Police Story 3) is among the top Jackie Chan movies that is a recommended watch..
What makes this film even more impressive is that the communist police inspector is played by Michelle Yeoh, who very nearly outdoes Jackie in terms of martial arts and stunt work, particularly one scene where she jumps a motorcycle onto the previously mentioned moving train.
Top all that off by a very fun Americanized soundtrack that includes a Devo cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Head like a Hole," Tom Jones covering "Kung-Fu Fighting," and an original Devo song entitled Supercop, which have the hilarious lyrics that go:I was born to serve justice But I don't sermonize Good is good Bad is bad And I never compromiseThey lock me in a rocket Made of flesh and bone I'll meet you in the war zone With my fists of stoneI'm a Super Cop I'm a Super CopMy body's a machine Made to synchronize Every time I'm called to action Make me recognize When the forces of corruption Do the tyrannize Then I shift to overdrive And start to pulverizeI'm a Super CopEliminate the foe With karate chops I'm a Super Cop I'm a super charged cop And I can't be stoppedI'm a Super CopI was born to serve justice Get my name I'm a Super CopKung fu action is my game I'm a cop now A Super Cop nowHe drives around in a world turned upside down I'm a cop now A Super Cop nowHe's gotta round up all the evil clowns I'm a cop now A Super Cop nowWhat he sees just makes him want to cry I'm a cop now A Super Cop nowOverall, "Supercop" is my favorite of Jackie's Hong Kong films to get an Americanized release, though my favorite film of his has to be either the first "Police Story" film or "Project A.".
The second sequel to the Police Story trilogy is another high-energy, fast-paced and action-packed movie returning Jackie Chan to the role as Hong Kong Detective Kevin Chan.
Chan "befriends" crime boss Panther (Wah Yuen), whose girlfriend knows the secret Swiss bank account number containing millions in drug money.Chan continues to display some of his best martial arts action in this film, with incredible stunt work, daredevil jumps and butt-kicking action.
A Hong Kong detective (Jackie Chan) teams up with his female Red Chinese counterpart (Michelle Yeoh) to stop a Chinese drug czar.In 2009, director Quentin Tarantino named "Police Story III" as one of his favorite films of the past seventeen years.
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.
The first hour of the film is what you'd expect from a kung fu star like Jackie Chan and the Police Story films.
But what really makes this film a standout even amongst a great star like Jackie Chan's work is the final chase scene.
The film Police Story III: Supercop is the first Hong Kong movie to be shot with sync sound.
Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home Video Rating:14APolice Story 3:Supercop or Supercop is the third film in the Jackie Chan Police Story series.In my opinion this and Legend Of The Drunken Master is Jackie Chan's best film.THis film has anything a Jackie chan fan could want.A little more action than the other chan films and great stunts and comedy to go with it.Aside from Jackie Chan this film also stars another famous actress.Michelle Yeoh.This film has a fairly good plot for this type of film.The film is about two cops who team up to stop a Chinese drug dealer.Chan goes undercover as a friend of the drug dealer.With plenty of great action scenes,stunts and comedy Supercop is a Chan film you wont want to miss.Runtime:95min 10/10.
Car chases , vehicle stunts and gunplay takes a more prominent role than fighting this time round but its all executed nicely and looks more dangerous than your average bond flick.Michell yeoh, who co-stars here, does more than keep up with jackie chan as she proves why shes the best female action hero out there .The best bit of all though is the finale which sees chan and yeoh taking on the bad guys- on a moving train.
This is a movie that is a must-see for all martial arts/action/Jackie Chan fans!
Michelle Yeoh cannot quite match Jackie in the comedy department - she doesn't have his facial expressions or comic timing - but she more than matches him in the action scenes, and she shows off some fantastic moves.
the best instalment of the police story series and arguably one of jackie chan's finest films.the pairing of chan and yeoh work wonderfully well together.
and rather than adopting the standard role of leading female (pretty, but helpless) yeoh more than holds her own in the action stakes and is so good in fact, that she almost upstages chan himself.under the direction of stanley tong, this film contains pretty much everything you could want and expect from a jackie chan movie.
Jackie Chan is great (as always), and he & Michelle Yeoh work very well together.
jackie chan and michelle yeoh team up in the third and funniest of the police story movies!
"Jackie Chan" and "Michelle Yeoh" in one movie !!
Jackie provides the best stunt like a fight on a moving train and "Michelle Yeoh" with her amazing bike jump onto a moving train.
It's an average, easy to watch movie with a pretty basic story (Chan goes undercover, meets another undercover agent, and then takes down a drug lord) and some occasionally decent action sequences.
Chan beats someone up, shoots someone, and there's a lot of needless explosions.As a Police Story movie, I can't say it's the weakest as I've yet to watch the second film, but compared to the fourth (which has one of the most memorable Chan action sequences) and the first (which also contains one of the best action sequences he's done), this one falls flat.
Hong Kong police officer Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) is sent to mainland China to break up a criminal gang as a supposed supercop.
As a Jackie Chan action drama, this is quite good and like always, it has his great stunts and the closing credits to prove it.
Supercop is the third movie in the Police Story-series starring Jackie Chan.
Plus, compared to Jackie's other works, this is in general one of the most complete movies he starred.I loved (Police Story 3: Super Cop).
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.
You watch Jackie Chan movies for the action and the stunts - not the plot.
Even then, one does not really need subtitles for a Jackie Chan movie because one only watches it for the stunts and the action, not intense dialogue.A drug lord in Hong Kong is causing lots of problems in both Hong Kong and China, so they decide that they need a supercop.
If you don't like Jackie Chan then why are you even watching his movie?
