Summary: Project A
Review: This is the "American" version of this movie. For hard-core Jackie fans you know what I mean. For those of you just starting,that means scene have been cut(the shower being one). The dubbing is not what is being said and the unkindest cut of all and on which there is no excuse is the cut of the outtakes. What were the editors thinking? If you want to see this movie in all it's DVD glory check out the Asian cinema sites. There DVD work in American machines. I gave the rating for the movie I saw not the American version.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackie Chan's Best Movie
Review: This is without a doubt Jackie Chan's one of the best movies of the all time. It has good story and fight scenes. I think around this movie time is the peakest moment of Jackie Chan. If you love Jackie Chan, you shouldn't miss this film. Go for it.

Rating: 5 stars
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: mistake. it shouldent have happened.
Review: this movie was a mistake in the making. absolutely no plot whatso ever! this movie is about a bunch of navy people, (jakie chan plays a Msgt named dragon) who get sent out in finding pirates, but instead usually getlost or loose a ship. the navy is proved incopetent and gets transferred into the police, the police and navy were once bitter rivals and now the navy has to join them. the pirates decide they want the police guns and jakie chan and sammo hung get involved. jakie chan ends up on the pirate island and takes them all out. _the end. dubbing was horrible. the fighting scenes are neat and amusing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great, but not quite perfect...........
Review: This movie was good for many reasons: The bicycle scene was hilarious and amazing, the interaction between Yuen Biao, Jackie, and Samo Hung is very funny, the fight scenes are fast, and the great clock tower stunt. The bad things: this movie had bad cinematography, it looked liked it was filmed a long time ago. Also, the dubbing was the worst ive ever seen for a Jackie Chan movie. But still, a great movie!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I don't like this american version...
Review: this version of project A they cut scenes like the shower when everybody through a cup to Yuen Biao when he want to be the only can take a shower and many other parts the american version cut...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Class in a video.
Review: This was the first times that the three operah school kids (Jackie, Yuen Bio and Sammo Hung) starred in the same film, and what a brilliant film it was. It has one of Jackies best stunts (the clock tower tumble) and best fights (the great bar brawl) ever caught on camera. Buy this film as it is great!

Rating: 5 stars
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.
