Review of Project A (Wide Screen) by shintai88

Advantages: Cops and Marines brawl, Great action great stunts by Jackie Chan
Disadvantages: None really. its all slapstick and action which is great

Brilliant storyline, with great early stunts from the chinese trio from the peking opera school. Jackie Chan is an officier of the Hong Kong Marine's, Yuan Biao is a high ranking officier of the Hong Kong police, and Sammo Hung old friend of Jackies is one of Hong Kongs famed thieves. set in 1800's Hong Kong Waters have been infested with a strong fleet of pirates, however the marines have constantly failed to erraticated the pirates and therefore ...
...due to Jackies nature and belief of justice, he ends up quitting the police force so he could arrest a criminal. Which lead him to Sammo, who was hired to streal 100 rifles from the police, which was going to be sold to the pirates. The 3 work together in the end to bring an end to the pirates reign over the waters. Overall, it is a brilliant movie. ... Read review

Review of Project A - Part 2 (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) by  shintai88

Advantages: a large fight scene with 40 on 5, and Ching Officials againest Jackie, more outragous stunts.
Disadvantages: No trio action

...This movie unlike the first one was a slight disappointment since it was just jackie chan, without Yuan Biao or Sammo Hung, but still it had great action that was filled with justice morals, The storyline to this movie is basically a corrupted officier is in charge of 3 regions of Hong Kong, therefore Jackie Chan who is a marine officer is given one of the corrupt guys regions, and his job is to capture all of the triad lords in the area, while at the same time he is being hunted down by the pirates who he defeated in the first project A movie, the story does not end there though, there is a sinster plot to the chinese Ching government being involved in hunting down rebels in hong kong,...

DVD Description

Jackie Chan stars as Dragon Ma, an honest marine cadet in late-19th-century colonial Hong Kong, who must do battle with the smugglers and pirates terrorising the South China Sea in order to preserve his company's honor. Revered by Chan devotees as one of his finest films, PROJECT A seamlessly combines exhilarating action sequences with classic slapstick comedy. Chan's energy, timing, and grace are truly infectious, as demonstrated by the hilarious opening bicycle chase and his now-legendary homage to Harold Lloyd's SAFETY LAST, in which he plummets from the face of a clock tower with only a series of window awnings to break his fall. Also starring Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, this is a must-see for fans of the genre.
