This is to discuss Jackie Chan's new flick called "Supercop" even
though it really isn't new at all.
It was actually made in 1992 at a cost of $11 million and has
already grossed $150 million. It will definitly add to that figure
once released in North America. BTW it will be dubbed of course!
I wish I could say I know what it's all about but I've only got a
slight clue. He plays a cop (who later teams up with a female partner)
who battles against some kind of terrorist army. Sure it's not going to
be a spectacular story, but if you want action, Chan is the Man!
He was surprised to find out the other day that Tom Cruise doesn't
perform his own stunts, in the movie Mission Impossible. In case any of
you don't know, Chan does all his own stunts and has broken almost every
bone doing them. Even for falls, Jackie would rather fall into tarpaulins
piled on top of apple crates rather than an air-bag. Besides, it cheaper
he says!
Anyone up for this one?

I'm up for this one too! I thoroughly enjoyed Rumble in the Bronx.
Jackie, at any age, is great to watch.
He's one that just keeps getting better. Great martial arts with
a comedic twist. Lots of fun!

If you want to call it that!!
I don't know...watching a dubbed movie? I would feel like I was
watching one of those old Godzilla movies or something.

| 1144.4 | Dubbing is not always bad | RICKS::BERMAN | Tue Aug 06 1996 18:39 | 4 | |
The dubbing adds to the movie. The voices they choose are really
funny.

I checked out this one on the weekend as well and was a little torn.
It had a better story (sort of) than "Rumble" but not as good action
scenes. It was definitly funny through out the whole flick and not
just the first 15 minutes. Liked it...but can't really recommend it
unless you're a fan.
2.5 outta 5
