Three audio choices are included. The English dub is given a 5.1 and DTS mix. Both feature hefty surround work and deep bass, along with occasionally dull, flat dialogue. It should be noted that the surround work sounds artificial and greatly exaggerated. The DTS mix, assuming the rather obvious forced ambience doesn’t bother you, is a little meatier.
Those looking for the original language are given a Cantonese mono mix. The sound effects are natural, although the dialogue still suffers from a muffled, flat tone. Shame you’ll need to deal with the dubbing to have any modern audio effects. 
A commentary from Bey Logan is excellent. Not only does he point out a few changes from the original version, he spots classic locations and spouts off facts even die-hard martial arts fans will be clamoring for.
Disc two contains four different interviews, in total running about 90 minutes. Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, director Stanley Tong, and Ken Lo (Jackie’s bodyguard and actor) all have around 20 minutes. Each of them talk about their careers, lives, and the making of the film. It should be noted that Tong’s interview was shot on what appears to be the brightest day in the history of the world in an all-white room, making it hard to watch without burning out your retinas.
Supercop is actually the third film in the Police Story series. The most recent entry, New Police Story, is a spectacular stunt fest, and one of Jackie’s best of his recent works. It’s not technically a true sequel, but more of a reboot.
