Project A

Project A (1983) navigates the turbulent waters of late 19th century Hong Kong, where British colonial authority reigns on land but pirates hold dominion over the seas. Coast Guard officer Dragon Ma, played with exuberant zeal by Jackie Chan, vows to uphold his unit’s honor and dismantle the pirate menace. The film blends acrobatic martial arts with slapstick humor, forging a uniquely Hong Kong action-comedy that celebrates the indomitable spirit of its protagonist and skewers the pretensions of colonial power.
