“To watch Jackie Chan, Hong Kong's king of kung fu comedy, in the fresh and exhilarating Super Cop is like watching Douglas Fairbanks Sr. or one of the silent era clowns in one of their biggest hits.” - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
“The most powerful starring role for a woman this summer? My vote goes to Michelle Yeoh in this garish, frenetic, and funny chopper.” - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Friday, July 21 at 7:45 p.m. | Chan is back as rogue police officer Ka-Kui, who joins forces with the by-the-book, but no less bad-ass Inspector Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh, in what Entertainment Weekly called “the most powerful starring role for a woman this summer”) to take down a dangerous cartel. When Ka- Kui’s girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung) accidentally blows their cover, it is a knock-down, drag-out, guns-blazing, motorcycles-revving fight to the finish. As the Chicago Tribune’s Michael Wilmington rightly declared, “Sly and Schwartzy, eat your hearts out. Chan’s the man.”
