SYNOPSIS

Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh team up in this action masterpiece! Featuring some of the most dangerous stunts ever performed on camera, Police Story 3: Supercop represents the pinnacle of Jackie Chan’s unique style of Hong Kong action filmmaking. A dazzling blend of gritty action cop drama, impeccably choreographed martial-arts sequences, and bone-crunching stuntwork.

Action superstar Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) joins the series as Inspector Yang Chien-Hua, who teams up with Chan Ka-Kui to take down an international drug ring. With some of the most outrageous stunt sequences ever committed to film, Police Story 3: Supercop is an action masterpiece that must truly be seen to be believed.

Regularly appearing on lists of the best action films ever made, Eureka Classics is proud to present Police Story 3: Supercop for the first time on home video in the UK since the VHS era from a brand new 4K restoration!

Easy day 1 buy

Looking forward to the 50 minutes of no good shots, I love seeing those!
I'd like to see the featurette on Chan video games too, hopefully there is one about Jackie Chan Stuntmaster for the Playstation at some point.

[darkness2918]

Just put my pre order in directly with Eureka.

[Mr_Orange]

Very cool that they are releasing this. I doubt that I will upgrade my K&R HK release but it gives me hope for other films that I don't own already.

[Mr. Chaverria]

I got super excited for this. But then saw that they're doing the first 3 in UHD on the site. Soooo.... **** this BD cuz I'm going UHD for all 3. Pre ordered that UHD set.

I have the Criterion & LE Eureka sets of 1 & 2 so I’m good on those. All I needed was this one since I only have the 2 disc Dragon Dynasty DVD. Hopefully we can get First Strike uncut next, maybe even Rumble in the Bronx.

That's what I'm hoping for and Thunderbolt and Who Am I.

I'll add Twin Dragons, Island of fire & Gorgeous to this list too.

[Mushi Minion]

I hate this artist. All of their people resemble that botched Jesus painting restoration to me. They did 88 Film's Drive 4kUHD cover as well. Honestly, I'll get the UHD trilogy for Kung Fu Bob's art alone.

Sam Gilbey did the 88 Film Drive cover art (and I actually like that one!), but I do agree that Darren Wheeling is just not good.

The only good thing about Eureka cover art at this point is that the classic Martial Arts releases look nice together on the shelf with their consistent packaging.

Ah, my bad! They looked identical to me.

No interest in picking up the set since I already own both the previous blu-ray Eureka and Criterion. But, though I have the HK blu-ray of Supercop, it does not contain the original audio, etc. Pre-ordered Supercop blu-ray. Maybe someday I will get into 4k but would still need to purchase a 4k TV and (region-free) player.

[Geoff D]

I might get this anyway even though the UHD set takes precedence, just so that the Eureka BD set of the first two movies isn't too lonely.

"Outtakes (50 mins) – a huge selection of NG (“No Good”) shots from the film"

Easily most interesting special feature. Pity no deleted footage with Kuo Chui in bonus. Wonder if those exist anymore or destroyed back then...

[ShogunSupreme]

I’m going to get this and throw away that slipcover in the trash. Not a fan of this artist at all. Going to rip it so I won’t have to look at the art in the menus. Unless that trilogy has Kung Fu Bobs art in the menu on all three I’ll get it and give away Police Story 1&2 and keep my Criterion Blu’s.

[thenexus6]

The top two faces look kinda funky on the slipcover.

Should be a good release though. Shame the cover art won't match the police story 1&2 set already out.

Not a fan of the artist at all. I watch my rip copies to avoid looking at it in the menus. Straight trash to me.

[Mr_Orange]

I wonder how the 4K restoration for this release will compare with the 4K master that K&R used for the HK release?

[filmlover22]

I was wondering the same thing. I was surprised when I searched for the new Police Story releases on Amazon the first ones that came up were from "KAM" which said 4K remastered - at least for parts 1 and 3. Obviously, Eureka will have better supplements and packaging, but I am not familiar at all with these KAM releases...
