Jackie Chan's Project A

[trekgeezer]

Jackie, Samo Hung, and Biao Yuen must stop pirates from terrorizing 19 century Hong Kong.  

Jackie does a Harold Lloyd imitation with a clock tower and I know that fall through the  building canopies had to hurt big time (especially since I know he did it more than once).

The bicycle chase is a lot better than some  of the car chases I've seen.  I don't even want to think about  the scene where Jackie jumps back on his bike after losing the seat  (Yeeeooooohhhh!!!)

This movie is a hoot .  This was on IFC and was the dubbed version, I understand that the original subtitled version is much better (which is usually the case).

After Project  A IFC ran their  new documentary   'Chop Sockey' The History of Hong Kong Cinema.  It was very interesting in that everyone interviewed with one exception was speaking Chinese (with subtitles).  Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Samo Hung, John Woo, and several other Hong Kong directors and actors take part in it .  It was very good viewing .

"Project A" was my first Jackie Chan movie ever. I accidentally discobered it on some obscure TV channel at 2 or 3 in the morning. I mildly enjoyed it, but all that was new to me and I felt I needed more films to "get" his style and start enjoying it. I wouldn't mind watching it again, together with its sequel, which I have yet to see.

I liked the way they get rid of the villain, though.

For some reason, I keep thinking "Project A-ko"

This is definitely a fun Jackie Chan movie- I bought it some time ago & have watched it several times.

The documentary was good too- it really did a good job of showing the evolution of the genre: Pre-Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee, Post-Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan.
