SANTA MONICA, CA – Martial arts titans Jackie Chan (The Forbidden Kingdom, Rush Hour) and Michelle Yeoh (The Mummy 3, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) go undercover to infiltrate the region’s most nefarious drug ring in the 2-Disc Ultimate Edition of SUPERCOP, arresting audiences on 2 Disc DVD January 13th from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company. The latest entry in the celebrated Dragon Dynasty line of adrenaline-fueled martial arts films, SUPERCOP tells the story of a Hong Kong police officer with a knack for improvisation who meets a beautiful but strait-laced Chinese agent and teams up with her in order to bring down the largest drug syndicate in the Pacific Rim. Along the way, they are regularly forced to unleash their spectacular arsenal of exciting, high-flying kung fu.

Directed by Stanley Tong (Mr. Magoo) and co-starring Maggie Cheung (Jet Li’s Hero), the historic success of SUPERCOP in theatres paved the way for a new wave of Asian action films and heroes in the United States. Regarded as one of Jackie Chan’s most beloved films, SUPERCOP has been lauded as a sharp "mix of stunts, martial arts and Chan's own brand of breathtaking slapstick comedy" (Film.com). The film also garnered Hong Kong Film Award nominations for Best Actor (Chan) and Best Action Choreography. Boasting all-new bonus features, SUPERCOP will be available on DVD for the suggested retail price of $19.97.
