Dread Pirate (Tom) Roberts

So SuperCop, aka Police Story 3…

Really one of the top action films ever made. The last half an hour in particular feels like it inspired a number of things, such as the best bits of (the videogame) Uncharted 2 and many of the recent Mission Impossible films.

For a Jackie Chan movie, the tone is surprisingly serious, and the villains are really nasty individuals.

Michelle Yeoh is incredible here too. I’ve watched a number of her early films and the stunts she performs are astonishing (and jaw-droppingly dangerous at times).

So an essential recommendation for action movie fans.

@troberts absolutely love the old Jackie Chan films. They are amazing.

@homebrandcola I think this one had the biggest scale of all his films. The end has a lot of multi-vehicular mayhem through and over the streets of Kualar Lumpar.
