        • Trivia
          When Jackie was doing the stunt at the clock tower, he was afraid of falling voluntarily. So he held on until he literally lost his grip and fell.
        • Goofs
          The clock tower fall was shown twice, but each used a different take.
        • Quotes

          Captain Chi: Who is laughing like that?

          Jaws: Me, sir.

          Captain Chi: Do you know what you're going to do?

          Jaws: To laugh one thousand times?

          Captain Chi: Police, shoot him dead!

        Fun and action-packed
        Boy, that lead-in stinks of a rotting cliche, doesn't it? But I really do enjoy this movie. Every time it hits cable, I watch it.

        Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung play wonderfully off of each other, even in the dubbed version. The story is realistic enough to be compelling, and the action sequences are superb. My personal favorite is the battle on the bicycles in the narrow back alleys.

        The one thing that has made Mr. Chan my favorite martial arts actor is the way his movies infuse humor and slapstick into serious fight scenes, and Project A, in my opinion, does that better than any of his other films.

        Highly recommended.
