| Jackie is without his brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in this sequel, but he still manages to amaze the audience. Project A II contains the trademark action scenes and comedy that define Jackie Chan. The finale of the movie is worth the price alone, as Jackie showcases some spectacular stunts only he can do (along with short martial arts fight scenes here and there) such as tumbling down a structure-like building made of bamboo, falling into a pool of weaved baskets, gobbling down handfuls of red hot peppers (I consider it a stunt, because hey, not many are willing to do it), running down the face of a ceremonial facade as it's falling over, and another ceremonial facade tumbling down right onto him only to be saved by standing right under one of the window-like squares.
Although many argue that the first of the Project A series is better in every category, Project A II shouldn't be looked down on or overlooked. It is worth every penny as the first. |
