MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Tweekums It is the end of the nineteenth century and pirates are troubling shipping around Hong Kong. The Coast Guard are making little progress and after their ships are destroyed by the pirates they are taken over by their rivals in the police. Our protagonist is Sergeant Dragon Ma Yue Lung, a coast guard who soon quits the police after he is ordered to curtail a raid to avoid upsetting some powerful people; it is clear there is corruption in the police. He is determined to bring the pirates down and ends up working with his old friend Fei, a petty criminal.This isn't a film to be taken seriously but it is a lot of fun. There is plenty of well-choreographed martial arts action; this is done in a way that is both thrilling and rather funny. There are other great action scenes; most notably a brilliant bicycle chase through narrow alleyways and one where Jackie Chan, as Dragon, falls about sixty feet from a clock tower slowed only by a couple of fairly flimsy looking awnings. The story isn't the strongest but that doesn't matter as the plot is mainly there to provide a reason for the numerous set pieces. Jackie Chan is on great form as Dragon, making this film a must see for his fans. The rest of the cast are solid enough but unsurprisingly not as great as Chan. Overall this film is a great mix of comedy and action; well worth watching.

BA_Harrison Directed by and starring Jackie Chan, Project A is a martial arts classic, a lavish late-19th century adventure featuring some of the most incredible fight action and death defying stunts imaginable. Chan plays Navy recruit Dragon Ma Yue Lung, who teams up with police captain Tzu (Yuen Baio) and lovable thief Fei (Sammo Hung) to try and bring to justice the pirates (led by Lor Sam Pau, played by Dick Wei) who have been marauding the Hong Kong seas.Even though the film's plot is slight and contains plenty of the broad slapstick comedy that I often struggle with, the quantity and quality of the action still qualifies the film as unmissable, its three stars, Chan, Baio and Hung, at the top of their game (causing plenty of pain for the poor stuntmen extras). Chan, in particular, delivers some of his finest moments, including a brilliantly choreographed scene involving bicycles and narrow alleyways, a fight amongst the gears and cogs of a clock tower, and, most memorable of all, a bone-crunching high fall guaranteed to make the jaw drop. The excellent finale sees our three heroes take on Lor Sam Pau in the pirate's island hideout, and is well worth the wait, all four fighters providing impeccably timed and expertly executed feats of physical prowess.

Fella_shibby I saw this in the late 80s in New talkies theatre (present globus cinema). It is funny, fast paced, and full of action and amazing stunts. It is an exceptional period film featuring some of the best action sequences caught on film. It has the awesome bicycle chase/fight on the narrow alleys which ended with Jacky's death defying fall from the clock tower. The masterful display of choreography and martial arts is impressive and outstanding. The stunts are so many and very challenging to perform but they are executed in a most precise and stylish way. This movie started a new genre for Jackie n put an end to ol skool kung fu. Its co directed n acted by Jackie Chan n Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. This film is an explosive fusion Of unparalleled martial artistry, death defying stunts & physical comedy. Featuring some of the most amazing fight & stunt sequences ever shot on film.

lost-in-limbo It's the turn of the 19th century where Dragon Mi Young (Chan) is a coastguard who leads his men after the ruthless Lor Sam Pau and his band of cutthroat pirates who terrorise the South China seas (although most of the time is spent on dry land), but the government what to rid themselves of the coastguards which leaves Dragon quitting the force to get to them. The film that made Jackie Chan a superstar… quite possibly the launching pad for those dangerous stunts and the important turning point of his career in an iconic character trait. Whenever I think of Chan; "Police Story" and "Project A" always shoot to mind as these benchmark films truly captured the talent of their star by effortlessly blending the goofy psychical humour and martial arts with amazing fight (watch the many uses of a bicycle) and stunt sequences (like 'Clock-tower fall'). Hey that's not to say I don't enjoy his early work with the likes of "Drunken Master" and "The Young Master", but those former films he had control and cooked up some very innovative and mind-boggling ideas where as his earlier stuff he was quite limited especially due to the cheap budgets and quick shoots. Another exciting inclusion is that it fuses together the remarkable talents of three legendary martial art stars; Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Mao. The dependable combination of the three simply crackles as they work off each other with ease. Playing the bad guys you got the established Dick Wei leading the way as the cackling leader of the pirates Lor Sam Pau. The final fight sequence between the four at the pirates' den is a masterful display in its execution of frenetic acrobatic choreography. The dialog and drama is light (so there's few distractions), as the impact comes from the boundless set-pieces in what is a busy framework complemented by a rousing score and vivid backdrop. An excellent kung-fu period action adventure comedy with plenty of colourful imagination and non-stop excitement.
