Dragon Ma (Jackie Chan) is back as a H.K. Water Police. He is assigned to clean up corruption and lawlessness. They catch a couple of thieves stealing a money box from Yesan (Maggie Cheung) collecting for the Nationalist cause. Yesan runs away fearing the corrupt cops. The cops promptly release their client thieves and try to beat up on Dragon. Dragon takes over the precinct to take on crime lord Wolf. Dragon faces off against many-headed corruption while the Empress's men are after the rebels.This is not as comedic as the original. Jackie handcuffed to the inspector is fun. The various people hiding in Yesan's room isn't as funny as it should be. There are lots of fight action stunts. There are a ton of jaw dropping stunts. Jackie doesn't do anything too risky in this one but he does do a Buster Keaton bit with a facade falling on top of him. The story is pretty messy that has multiply interconnected villains and some that go both ways. I love the fighting stunts but the story is too twisty. This one does have the final extra clips with the closing credits.

Continuing directly after the first Project A, Project A 2 finds Dragon taking over the police force, and a corrupt one at that. The movie itself is pretty conventional in setup and shouldn't surprise anyone who watches Jackie Chan films. The only problem is a lack of action in the middle act that leaves the film pretty dry to its conclusion.The concluding final action scenes are well-done, with a good handcuff sequence as well as a hilarious part when Dragon spits chewed up chili's onto his hands to keep the baddies at bay. But otherwise the action isn't anything you haven't seen and the movie itself is nowhere near as good as the original. It's definitely missing Sammo and Yuen, especially to help out the comedy.It's an okay flick overall.

Project A2 the popular sequel to the dull but fun film project A. Not as good as one the story is nothing good and the humor was a bit lame . It does deliver many Jakie Chan stunts but ignores a more serious retro fighting film , the one I have is the hong Kong legends edition and its quality of viewing was not even decent I pages a bit for this and was let down by false advertising and I could have had the platinum edition but ya know it would have been higher in price . What action this film is loads of talking , some fun moments a different formula in a fashion. ,stunts and Jakie running and doing inventive things but misses martial arts . So its worth watching as it does have moments but for the rip off price its worth ignoring it , so its old and not good like back in 1987 but people seem to think its a classic but its not

Many films claim to be like riding a roller coaster, but this more or less typical adventure from Asian sensation Jackie Chan is the genuine article: a fast, furious, and totally physical wide-screen action comedy. The convoluted screenplay, picking up right where Part I presumably ended, follows an incorruptible turn-of-the-century Hong Kong cop forced to contend with powerful mobsters, dangerous revolutionaries, crooked policemen, and a scruffy crew of pirates, separately and often all at once. But what passes for a plot is only an excuse for several hair-raising (and nicely choreographed) combat and chase scenes set (almost literally) at a breakneck pace, and performed without the benefit of doubles or trick photography. The writer/director/actor (and title song singer) single-handedly legitimizes the concept of mindless entertainment, at the risk of bruises and more than one broken bone, but never mind: the film is exhilarating, exhausting, and just plain fun.(postscript: fifteen-plus years after seeing 'Project A II' I finally caught up to the first chapter, which is even more energetic than its sequel...)
