With martial arts superstar Jackie Chan, older may be better.

Supercop's biggest flaw is what its producers probably saw as its greatest strength: it's very American.

Chicago Reader
Top Critic
An astonishingly fluid and funny movie that makes most American action pictures seem lethargic.

It's not my favorite Jackie Chan film, but it's still a good one.

Combustible Celluloid
Chan's daredevil persona creates a fun but never graphically violent action movie. [published 7-26-96]
Kansas City Kansan
Few will argue that this is one of Chan's best films; I say it's the best.
A muddy script structure and some very weak attempts at comedy hamper the flow of the film...

Supercop while a little slow out of the gate, is even more furious fun than Rumble.
|
SPLICEDWire
Hong Kong's Jackie Chan is now and forevermore the indisputable king of the high-blown, over-the-top actioneers.
|
Austin Chronicle
Capable female action stars are a non-entity in Hollywood, but Khan packs a wallop both literally and in her screen presence.

Palo Alto Weekly
A super-charged, bang-up action flick the likes of which most Americans still have never seen.

Chan is fun to watch, no matter what silliness one has to put up with.

Supercop is a better movie than Rumble in the Bronx, in large part because it's funnier.

It's a blast to watch the action sequences, which offer more than just hand-to-hand martial arts.

7M Pictures
Don't go into this film expecting a lot of deep meaning or heavy emotions, but if you like action films you will be entertained.
|
Laramie Movie Scope
Supercop is punctuated with action sequences not even the Bond films can touch.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Special kudos for Ms. Khan, who plays, without a doubt, the strongest female character I've ever seen in film.

Super thrills, super spills, super laughs and super stunts.
Jam! Movies
As surrealistic as it might seem, the most enjoyable action film currently playing in American theatres is a four-year-old, atrociously dubbed, modestly budgeted (by our budget-breaking standards anyway) Hong Kong import starring a nearly all-Asian cast.

Supercop is a chance to get a full-strength blast of Chan.

San Francisco Chronicle
Top Critic
Jackie Chan makes his second leap at the American movie audience, following up Rumble in the Bronx with a far sharper mix of stunts, martial arts and Chan's own brand of breathtaking slapstick comedy.
Film.com
Top Critic
A wild and free-wheeling action film, vastly superior to this year's Rumble in the Bronx in both plot and action.

Supercop isn't art, but it sure is great junk food.

One of Chan's best. The fantastic Michelle Khan upstages him beautifully.
eFilmCritic.com
The plot is nothing more than an excuse for the series of spectacular action sequences in which Chan shows both his physical skills and great sense of humour.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Supercop is at its most banal when it apes the Western action style and at its best when Jackie is interacting with the scenery and props around him.
|
Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus
If its action you crave, Supercop has it.
|
[Chan and Yeoh's] spirited verbal sparring packs as strong a kick as their martial arts moves.
