Michelle Yeoh takes over as the Supercop in this "episode," with Jackie Chan seen fleetingly in a cameo role. Lots of action continues, but it's not up to the previous movie in the series as romance slows down the action from time to time. But, Michelle is still pretty good, but none of the tricks are as good as the motorcycle jump onto the train. Dubbed.
