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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Now I said good--not great! This is a Michelle yeoh film, as the box states, not a Jackie Chan film, JC is in it for a strange 5 minutes. Yeoh is good--some excellent fight scenes, but the dubbing is horrible and the DVD has no option to leave it with subtitles- a big no-no. It's your basic HK action film with a little bit of story that may have worked, but the dubbing & delivery get in the way. I recommend Yeoh in "Wing Chun" for a fun traditional martial arts film.

Pretty bad. Apparently the makers of Supercop 2 (actually Police Story 3) failed to remember the formula to a good action flick. The action is far too brief and sporadic, at best, and there are a minimum of hair raising stunts. Instead, the movie gets mired down into too much plot and the stunts become negligible next to the boredom the film induces. One does not watch a Hong Kong action flick for the dramatic acting (witch, by the way, Yeoh is remarkably stiff and in need of a cattle prod to wake her up). Its not a great story, anyway.

A far better Michelle Yeoh cop/gunplay and kung fu film is Royal Warriors, or just stick with Supercop (in HK- Police Story 2).

The dubbing is pretty awful. Yeoh dubs herself, and while her English is great (after all, she was educated in Britain), her natural voice is so deliberate, slow, and seemingly self conscious, that it is flat and annoying. The dubbing company should be strung up for the way they dub some of the characters, particularly Jackie Chan in his brief, weird cameo. They use downright stereotypical Asian accents. The Jackie dubber has him saying, "Freeze Po-Reez!"(Freeze, Police)and "I so myself bored enough, that I began noticing little details to entertain myself. One of witch was the fact that Michelle shows her European education by turning the pages of a Chinese magazine the wrong way (in China one reads right to left, but she flips the pages the English way, left to right).

Ok, anyone who says the movie stunk because Jackie Chan isn't in it more than 5 minutes is a fool! It says right on the box "Michelle Yeoh is Supercop 2" and in little tiny print it says "With a special apperance by Jackie Chan as Inspector Chan" (His character from Supercop). This movie starts off with a bang and just keeps on going, and going! Michelle Yeoh is so awesome in this flick! She plays Jessica Yang (also her character from Supercop), and the semi-villian in the movie is played by Yu Rong Guang, who is an amazing actor (just see Iron Monkey, by Yuen Wo Ping, and you'll see why!) Anyhow, this movie is totally awesome, and the scene with Jackie Chan is very short, but really funny. I'd have given the movie five stars, but it ends sort strange, and it took away from the overall greatness of the movie. (Not that it was a bad ending, it just went too quick.) Anyway, see this movie! It rules!

This is a Michelle Yoeh film and NOT a Jackie Chan film. Infact Jackie only appears in a hialarious 5 minutes of the whole film. Michelle is sent to Hong Kong to stop a gang, but what she doesn't know is that it is her own boyfriend who is the leader of the gang. As a result she's torn between love and honour. Which side do you think she'll end up going with?!

This is a fantastic sequel to it's predecessor A Chinese Ghost Story. The mixture of martial arts, humor, and horror make this one of the best martial arts movies that I have seen.

THIS IS NOT A JACKIE CHAN MOVIE

Chan is in the movie for a five minute scene that could of and should of been cut out.
Whatever her name is, does an AMAZING job in Jackie Chan's Super Cop but this time she's COMPLETELY on her own...aka I think she proved she wasn't ready for the main role, plus it's based on a romance storyline aka bizarre action movie.

rather weak film, except for a short jackie chan cameo. if you can get this relatively cheap and are a huge jackie fan, it is worth the price. if not, i believe for every good martial arts movie, you have to sit through ten bad chop-sockey flicks.
