Police Story 3 - Supercop (1992)

Martial Arts Film of the Day: Police Story 3: Supercop ( 警察故事３超級警察, 1992)

The drug smuggling ring lead by Khun Chaibat(Kenneth Tsang) has proven an international nightmare. How bad? The DEA is demanding help from the Hong Kong Royal Police; in their own words, they need a "supercop" to handle the situation. Naturally, "Kevin" Chan Kar Kui(Jackie Chan) is the only one up for the task, so he's expected to enter mainland China to infiltrate the smuggling ring by rescuing one of their imprisoned figureheads called Panther (Yuen Wah) in order to gain their trust. Only thing, this time he's not alone. Interpol Captain Yang Chien-Hua (Michelle Yeoh) is sent to assist him on this undercover mission, in hopes to capture Chaibat once and for all.

Directed by Stanley Tong, the third entry in the Police Story series sees a legendary team up at their peak. And both deliver the whole package: not only is their ability to kick ass in full display (with Yeoh's stunts being not remotely less dangerous than Chan's), but so is their comedic prowess as the clashing personalities of the easy going Kar Kui and sternly disciplined Yang lead to some hilarious bickering. While Chan's comedic brilliance is well known, I think Yeoh's has been very underrated (at least until very recently thanks to Everything, everywhere, all at once) and this is a fantastic display of it.

But dang, the action in this film is on a whole league of its own. More than a notch more intense than the prior films (there's effectively a war sequence here, ffs), the movie moves between Hong Kong, Mainliand Chaina, Thailand and Malaysia (though in reality they didn't film in Thailand… but they did in Australia), making use of each locale for different flavors of stunts, each one cooler than the last and culminating in one of the greatest action finales in cinema history. It's thrilling, ingenious, efficiently paced and lets both the leads one up each other in a cinematic chase for the ages.

It goes without saying it would be a CRIME to not talk about this one. It truly is one of the best action films of all time, with more tightly written (if still simple) character arcs that still allow room for a comedic back and forth while punctuating the story with stellar stunt work that moves the plot along. Not only is it structured brilliantly but that last chase is just... damn. Jackie on the helicopter is one thing, but Yeoh's motorbike stunts are a work of art themselves. And it almost feels like the Kung fu itself would take a complete back seat with all the crap I'm describing, but far from it: it still plays into their characters. This one is the whole package. If you had to watch ONLY one movie of either Jackie Chan or Michelle Yeoh, this is not a bad pick for both.
