Was not thrilled with this film, this is probably due to the total misdirection the American title and the opening sequence had than due to any fault of the original film itself. It was called In the Line of Duty 2: the Super Cops, or something to that effect and opened with a rather impressive opening featuring a man jumping and kicking a man through a car window before flying through a sign. I was like, wow, but then nothing of this was ever mentioned again and now I see here it was as I guessed, something from a totally unrelated film. No, this film is not about super cops, I mean there are two rather bad ass female cops, but no this thing focuses more on a trio of low rent criminal types getting mixed up in something bigger.
So, depending on the cut you may get a flashing scene or the scene that has nothing to do with the film. The general story is that these three guys, two of whom are small time crooks and another who forges documents get caught up in a caper involving microfilm. Meanwhile, Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock are two cops on the case to get the guy who the microfilm will incriminate. They get to show their stuff, but it really does focus more on the bumblers and they even get to close the film out.
I like Cynthia, as she is cute as a button, but she is dubbed so no hearing her very cute kung fu cries. Michelle Yeoh is alright, but this is not one of her better roles and why the heck does she have a mullet!?! The bumblers may be alright in their original voices, but sound terrible dubbed and it just makes what might of been an okay film, worse!
So, from the title and the start I got, I was expecting one heck of an action film. However, way too much goofy comedy that does not work for me due to the voices and a very uninspired bad guy really just makes it watchable. I mean, the bad guy was an evil real estate guy, not exactly someone to strike fear into the masses. Some good martial arts on display, but in the end, I think something got lost in the translations.
