Summary: PROJECT A
Review: PROJECT A is an exciting and intense film with lots of action throughout. The acting is not the best with the voices being dubbed. Jackie is quite funny though and Sammo Hung puts in an excellent performance as a conman as well.

Summary: Good movie, not so good DVD
Review: Project A the movie is a Jackie Chan classic. Doesn't have a great story, but it's not bad enough to detract from the action, and it's well paced. The action scenes are some of Chan's most inventive. Unfortunately the DVD doesn't take advantage of some of the benefits of DVD's, namely the option of viewing the original cantonese soundtrack with subtitles. Why not let people choose how to watch it. But an even bigger gripe from this release is the fact that they cut out the outtakes from the end. That's a Chan trademark! The original version featured several takes of his insane clock tower fall. Anyway, it's worth a view, but if you're thinking about buying it, try to look for a Hong Kong DVD.

Summary: Project A (1983)
Review: This is a great film! Jackie gets assigned to the police force when a pirate gang destroys his fleet. Jackie joins forces with Sam and Yuen Biao. Highlights: the clock tower scene and most of all the bicycle chase (this chase is even better than all the James Bond chases combined!)!

Summary: Project A, One of Chan's Best
Review: This movie stands out as one of Jackie Chan's best films. The stuntwork is absolutely amazing, and leaves one wondering just how dedicated his stunt crew is. Some of the fight scenes in this film involve falls and flips from amazing heights in which the stuntmen land with brutal force. The action and fight scenes are fast paced and choreographed with typical Jackie Chan mastery. His usage of props is as usual one of the best parts of the film. Whether in a bar brawl or in a high speed bicycle chase through the alley's of Hong Kong, Chan's mind works overtime to present unique and interesting fight scenes which are sure to delight any martial arts fan. If you've never seen a Jackie Chan film, start here. If you have seen Jackie Chan films, buy this one immediately. It should be a welcome addition to your film library.

Summary: A Definite Classic
Review: Well, frankly, for me--any movie with Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao in it is a movie I've got to see. And Project A is definitely worth the time. First of all, I saw only the U.S. release with the lame dubbing and cut scenes. This means I probably have no idea what I'm missing. As a true martial-arts flick collector, I can understand why people say to stick with the Asian released editions as compared to the U.S. releases, although in this case I gave in and just bought the U.S. release. Oh, well. I still liked it a lot. Fight scenes and stunts were unbelievable. *small spoiler* Watch as Jackie climbs up flag poles to unbelievable heights, and then later falls from the same heights--yeah, falls! Ouch! Watch Sammo Hung deliver a full-forced drop kick (you know how heavy he is) to the end bad guy. And everyone is falling off of bikes, ledges, whatever. Great stunt work. It's a killer movie. *end of the spoiler* With regards to the story, yeah, it's kinda "off" just a little--but then again, I haven't seen the Asian full version, which has slightly different dialouge and storyline from what I've heard. Even so, the story is very enjoyable despite being kinda silly in some places. I actually like the storyline a lot. I consider the storyline as being a contributor to my 5-star rating. Pirates, action, villains, friends in "low" places, all of these things make for a refreshing and different martial-arts movie experience. The dubbing is so-so, and the music--I feel safe in guessing--is surely better in the Asian release. But, that's ok. The comedy is really done well, and the movie is full of genuinely funny dialouges and scenes. I really like this movie and consider it one of my all-time favorites.
