Respected Police Inspector Chan Ka Kui (martial arts superstar Jackie Chan) volunteers to go undercover in a Chinese prison in order to infiltrate a ruthless drug cartel. Ingratiating himself into the system, Chan helps to break cartel member Panther (Yuen Wah) out of prison and, joined by undercover agent Inspector Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh), they travel to Hong Kong to join Panther's gang. Initially accepted by gang leader Chaibat (Ken Tsang), their operation is seemingly threatened when Ka Kui's girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung) accidentally reveals his true identity. Directed by Stanley Tong and featuring non-stop martial arts action, Police Story 3: Supercop is an energetic and explosive entry into the popular Police Story series. (Umbrella Entertainment)

The third episode of the pentalogy, this time about how to best order fried cat with noodles. Though there’s not much left from the original Police Story, the first half, up until the “Rambo-like action in the jungle”, is brilliant, too, but in its own way, because they shoot more than they kick. And let’s be honest, we all want to see Jackie fighting in stunt-packed set pieces full of playful and original choreographies rather than with a gun.

The film was greatly helped by the presence not only of Jackie Chan but also Michelle Yeoh. They complement each other perfectly, and furthermore, "Police Story 3" is full of amazing stunt sequences that will take your breath away. Some of the explosions are almost unbelievable, and the audience wonders how the crew's mortality rate wasn't higher. This is simply something to admire and, of course, enjoy immensely.
