MORGAN'S RATING |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Director Stanley Tong's wildly successful collaboration with international action hero Jackie Chan gets off to a flying start in Supercop, the story of an affable, tenacious, and unstoppable Hong Kong cop's quest to bring down the biggest drug syndicate in the Pacific Rim. Kevin Chan and a stunningly beautiful female police officer from mainland China, Hanna Yang, pose as brother and sister to infiltrate the crooked operation and once there unleash their spectacular arsenal of high-kicking, bone-rattling kung fu. |
