For the past 20 years actor, director and martial arts master Jackie Chan has brought his unique and winning blend of high-octane action and low-key humor to movie audiences around the world. Already Asia's most famous filmmaker and action hero, he is quickly becoming a worldwide movie star. 
In a Chan movie, seeing is believing. Whether dangling from a helicopter over the mosques of Kuala Lumpur, or zeroing in on his enemies' weak spots atop a speeding freight train, Jackie Chan always does his own stunts. "People say 'You're crazy Jackie!' Yes, I'm crazy, crazy about making movies. I'll do anything for the movie." |

In Dimension Films' latest release, Jackie Chan plays a Hong Kong cop who goes undercover in order to infiltrate a high-powered Asian crime and narcotics syndicate run by a ruthless drug lord. Joined by policewoman Yang, played by Michelle Kahn, Red China's director of Interpol, Chan risks life and limb as he works to earn the criminal's respect with his combat know-how, physical daring and knowledge of exotic delicacies "We don't have the effects of American action movies," explains Chan of his daredevil stunts. "We use what we call human physical special effects. But don't worry about my injuries, that's my problem. My job is to make movies, your job is to see them." What happens along the way is vintage Jackie Chan... some of the most exciting and 
dangerous car, motorcycle and helicopter stunts ever attempted
by a star in the history of cinema. (Of course this star happens to have broken every
single bone in his body many times over.) It's an always explosive and sometimes
hilarious movie ride made all the more so by the fact that Jackie Chan is, first and
foremost, playing Jackie Chan.
"On the Screen? That's me," Chan insists. "I just act like myself. I never pretend anything. What you see in the movie is what you see in person." |

Outgunned and outnumbered, sometimes even the toughest cop can use a little help... Supercop introduces Hong Kong's foremost action heroine Michelle Khan as inspector Yang, Jackie Chan's partner and comrade in arms. Playing straight woman to the mishcievious Chan, Khan let's fly with a sharp tongue, lightning-quick reflexes and the world's meanest double kick. |
