Review of Project A (1983) by Kevin R — 26 Dec 2011
You'd sell out your best buddy for a little kissy?
In 19th century Hong Kong, Great Brittan runs the city but their export and trade business suffers at the hands of pirates. There is a power struggle in the city to determine what is more important, policing the streets or policing the seas. Mi Yong, as a member of the coast guard, decides to take matters in his own hands rather than waiting for the government to allocate resources and assign his colleagues help.
"Password.".
"It's beat me.".
"Idiot. What kind of password is that?".
Jackie Chan (Who Am I, Police Story 1 & 2, and Project A 2) wrote, directed, choreographed, and stars in this picture, Project A. The storyline for this picture is fairly standard for the martial arts genre but adds a nice twist of pirate and ocean sequences. The action scenes were excellent and Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung deliver remarkable performances.
"You have two choices, say you're sorry or...".
My wife DVR'd this picture because we are huge fans of the martial arts genre (without being huge Jackie Chan fans). This movie was very entertaining and definitely worth a viewing. There were some clever lines and dialogue sequences and the action sequences are excellent. This movie is definitely worth your time if you are a fan of the genre.
"Have you forgot how to salute like a man?".
Grade: B.
