Supercop


Holy crap, this movie was craaazyyyy Bad-Ass!

It had everything: martial arts, fight scenes with taser guns, rad gun shootouts, car chases, explosions, knife fights and of course, helicopters on top of moving trains. With fighting. And more guns. And dudes on fire. And women with just as many hardcore moves as the guys (bonus).

It had a weird soundtrack too; like, a cover of "Stayin' Alive," some 2pac (or something that sounded a lot like 2pac) and then a cover of "Kung Fu Fighting" by someone who may/may not have been Tom Jones.

One of my favorite scenes? It wasn't particularly Bad-Ass, but it was Funny As Shit: Jackie Chan's girlfriend is being held hostage in a helicopter that's hovering like, 10 feet above the ground. She won't stop screaming, so the bad guys just kick her out of the 'copter and she falls face-first onto a car parked below. No idea why they decided to include that scene in the final cut of the movie, but I'm awfully glad they did.

This was the ultimate action movie. And it was released in the early 90s, so there was just the right number of suede-lined jean jackets (one).

Doug says as a movie in general, it's 3 stars, but on a scale of Bad-Ass, 4. I concur.
