Supercop

Sometimes you just need to see a Jackie Chan Kung Fu movie dubbed in English. Supercop (released in the US in 1992) was an excellent way to fulfill my need. Jackie Chan is the Hong Kong detective charged with going undercover in China to infiltrate a drug ring. Michelle Yeoh is his Chinese counterpart (his sister undercover) and together they use their martial arts skills to gain the trust of the bad guys and then eventually caputure them. Nothing surprising in the plot, but well executed, cheesy humor and just fantastic english translation for the voice over. Lots of "Get him" and "Quick, come this way!". Perfect late night, vacation viewing.
3-stars
