Dragon (Jackie Chan) runs against the pirates he defeated in the first film and also gets in trouble with corrupt cops, and a revolutionary group that includes popular Hong Kong actress Michelle Cheung. Many of the acrobatic fight sequences in this installment are legendary, including a scene where Dragon runs down the wall of a collapsing building in the style of Buster Keaton. ~ Jonathan E.

Jackie Chan at his most reckless and brilliant: the danger level involved in each of his amazing stunt-sequences is quite simply off the seale!

The original Project A was a fun and hilarious movie that worked so well because of it cast and funny script. Unfortunately Project A 2 is missing Sammo Hung Kam-Bo and some of the other things that made the first one fun, but it's still manage to be a good movie. Project A 2 is about Dragon who is transferred to be the police head of Sai Wan district, has to contend with a gangster kingpin, anti-Manchu revolutionaries, some runaway pirates, Manchu Loyalists and a corrupt police superintendent. Now the plot isn't as well put together or as interesting as the first one. What Project A 2 needed was more humor and less characters that distract from the main story. It has multiple story-lines going on at once, some are good and some aren't even necessary for the movie. The plot is uneven, but it does have a decent story to tell with good humor and characters that makes the movie better than average. The Martial Art on the other hand is exactly what you would expect from Jackie Chan. It's good, fun to watch, and is high point to a sequel that isn't on the level of the original. The cast do a great job despite some of the characters not getting enough screen time, though I did feel the main villain didn't come out menacing enough. Now while it may be unfair to compare it to the original, it's not a bad sequel and the effort put into the movie makes the movie worth watching. Project A 2 will definitely disappoint fans of the original as it's not as good. In a industry with so many bad sequels to great film this is one of the few sequels that actually good.

Good movie. The movie pack with good old action fighting from Jackie.
