Additional InformationJackie 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 honour. 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.

ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - "..Exuberant....Chan out-Lloyds Harold Lloyd..." -- Rating: 3 1/2 out of 4 kicks, Los Angeles Times - ...Frequently funny....PROJECT A is good-natured fun..., Film Comment - ...[The] visual gags vie with thumping fight scenes and heart-stopping action stunts...
