PROJECT A II (Chinese name simply means “Plan/Project ‘A’ Continues “), sees Jackie Chan once again protecting the coasts of Hong Kong against pirates, crooked cops and revolutionists. But this time, he’s going at it alone without the help and appeal of Sammo Hung & Yuen Biao. When I first saw it about 12 years ago I always loved it, but after buying it on VCD a couple of years ago, I thought it would probably quite bad. However, I was wrong, because Jackie does still manage to pull off a good movie without Sammo & Biao, and with great performances from both Maggie Cheung and Rosamund Kwan, it’s quite good. In fact, to a certain extent, at some of the time it actually seems better than the first.

Not a classic in my mind, but worth seeing. The cast list is pretty impressive too, although a lot of these people at the time were still ‘unknown’ to most people outside of Hong Kong. Jackie Chan, Rosamund Kwan, Maggie Cheung, Mars, Carina Lau, Ray Lui, the list goes on.

Check it out, but I think it’s only available in Chinese on VCD, and I lost my copy a while ago and wanted to see it again first before reviewing it, but couldn’t. But the UK DVD label ‘HK Legends’ will be releasing it later this year (thanks to Bey Logan), and they always bring out the best DVDs with clear picture and loads of extra features.
