Editorial Reviews

Former Miss Malaysia and current butt-kicking Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh leaped to international attention costarring alongside Jackie Chan in Supercop. The film was actually the third installment of Chan's successful Police Story series, but that didn't stop cagey producers from turning out Supercop 2 as a solo vehicle for the lean, lithe Yeoh. She travels from mainland China to Hong Kong to "advise" local cops on a Chinese drug lord and discovers Rong Guang Yu (from Iron Monkey and Rock and Roll Cop), her former lover and now the leader of a militia-style gang in partnership with her quarry. Yeoh is in fine form, kicking off the picture with a thrilling close-quarters battle in a high-rise hotel, but the complicated plot of high tech crime, double crosses, and conflicted loyalties strangles the action and slows the film despite such action highlights as an impressive three-man raid on a well-armed criminal den. (Jackie Chan's jokey cameo as a cop in drag doesn't really help matters.) The film finally regains its energy in an explosive free-for-all bank heist climax, in which the painful English dubbing becomes all but unnoticeable as bullets fly, bodies crunch, and balletic Michelle Yeoh moves like a dynamo. --Sean Axmaker

2.0 out of 5 stars Featureless DVD, January 12, 2001

This review is from: Supercop 2 (DVD)

There's many things wrong with this film, as people have said above, but in particular the DVD should be criticised for presenting the film in a terrible dubbed version only. Especially when the women in the film apart from Yeoh sound like California Barbies, and the men speak in this stereotyped Chinese accent. Gag!

Plus, a striking lack of features, although I'd be hard pressed to think of what I'd like to have. I haven't seen the original, but with most of Dimension's American releases, they've probably jettisoned the original soundtrack for some USANetwork Action Film schlock.

However, that said, there *is* a story here, which they should have focused on more, being the conflict between Yeoh's character and her lover-gone-bad. It would have made the ending tragic, instead of just a relief. Too much time is wasted on puerile "You're a woman, it's too dangerous for you" conversations between the rookie cops and Yeoh. Please.

Anyway, bottom line, disappointing and Dimension Films should keep its hands off the original films, or at least allow us the alternative version on the DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars low-kicking non sequel, at least it doesn't continue anything from the last movie., March 25, 2006

This review is from: Supercop 2 (DVD)

Well I guess michelle is still a cop like she was in the last one, she just isn't funny or good whatsoever in this.

So I read a review that said that this is a michelle film and they are right. What they didn't say is that this is the most boring hong kong flick ever. Not one of them but the most boring and one of the stupidest.

The movie actually starts out really good but when Rongguang Yu leaves michelle to herself, there is a ton of standing around.

Oh yeah the iron monkey is in this, and not even he can save it. i actually think that he could have saved it, but whoever directed this was obviously trying to get into michelle's pants. So obviosly he didn't and he was maybe trying to ruin her career.

I love michelle and could make it through this, but if you liked supercop 1 and are expecting to see something similiar, DO NOT WATCH THIS.

Also jackie is in drag in this movie, his scene last for 2-3 minutes and it is one of the 3-4 bright spots in the movie. JACKIE YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good movie done poorly, October 1, 2000

Don't let the reviews misguide you, on either account, this was a potentially good movie done horribly wrong. Yeoh is a great figher, and she's just as quick and nimble as Chan, but we are only treated to one real right scene by her? Not only that, but that fight scene is interrupted by her Co-stars less than stellar fight scenes? Is it because she's female? Heck, it got so bad at one point, that it looked like Yeoh was going to be beaten do death (literally) by a hired goon. Why 3 stars? Cause she beats the crap outta the goon in a spectacular manner and does some of her trademark poses afterwards.
