Jackie Chan's PROJECT A & PROJECT A PART II [Eureka Classics] 2-Disc Blu-ray edition

Description

A pair of incredible action-adventure extravaganzas from the legendary Jackie Chan, Project A and Project A Part II make their long overdue debut on Blu-ray in the UK from stunning 2K restorations. Starring three of the greatest martial-arts action stars of all time (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao), the Project A films blended unparalleled martial artistry, death defying stunts and physical comedy in a way that has yet to be matched. Project A Jackie plays Sergeant Dragon Ma, a turn-of-the-century coastguard, hot on the trail of a ruthless band of cut-throat pirates, intent on spreading a trail of blood and mayhem across the South China Seas. Project A features some of the most dangerous stunts of Jackie s career, including homages to Buster Keaton s Steamboat Bill, Jr. and Harold Lloyd s Safety Last!. Project A Part II After the events of the first film, Dragon Ma is given a new assignment, to clean up crime and corruption in the roughest part of town. The pressure was on to top the first film in terms of sheer spectacle, but Project A Part II rises to the challenge and delivers one of the most stunt-packed, rip-roaring action-adventures of all time. Eureka Classics is proud to present Jackie Chan s Project A and Project A Part II presented from stunning 2K restorations and fully uncut. 2-DISC BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES 1080p presentations of both films, sourced from stunning 2K restorations Original Cantonese audio tracks for both films (mono for Project A and stereo for Project A Part II) Restored 5.1 Cantonese and English audio options Optional English SDH subtitles A new video interview with Tony Rayns Archival interview with Jackie Chan [30 mins] Interview with actor Lee Hoi San [22 mins] Interview with actor Yuen Biao [18 mins] Interview with actor Dick Wei [14 mins] Interview with actor Michael Chan Wai-Man [20 mins] Interview with composer Michael Lai [17 mins] Interview with writer and producer Edward Tang [30 mins] Interview with stuntman Anthony Carpio [29 mins] Interview with stuntman Mars [15 mins] Someone Will Know Me [13 mins] - an archival featurette which includes interviews with stuntmen Mars, Chris Lee Kin-Sang and Rocky Lai Alternate outtakes for Project A from the Japanese version of the film.

" Time Out "The chance to see Jackie and his team at the peak of their powers" Eye For Film "the movie marks Chan's move into large scale Buster Keaton-esque like stunts that are a joy to watch" - BBC "The 1980s were really a golden era for Jackie Chan and this film is right in there among his other classics to emerge from that decade" Kung Fu Kingdom Review: Amazing movies from the titan of HK cinema - If you're purchasing BD-Rs then you should immediately learn the difference between discs from different regions. Region A (USA) BluRays will never have a circle on the bottom right of the front with a rating inside of it, especially an odd rating like 15+. That should be an obvious and immediate give away that this is a foreign disc. For people to give this flick a negative review bomb because of their own ignorance is just pathetic and encapsulates one of the biggest pet peeves I have with rating systems like desertcart. Stop weighing down a movie's quality rating because you can't be bothered to spend 10 seconds ensuring that you're buying a disc you can actually play. I live in the US so this won't play in my standalone BluRay player in my living room, but that's exactly why I bought an ASUS BDR drive for my PC and flashed its BIOS. $80 purchase and 5 minutes of work and I can watch all 3 regions as well as UHD 4K BDRs on my PC and back them up or demux them into flawlessly compressed HEVC rips on my SSD. Get with the times people. And next time, rate the quality of the movie--not your obvious lack of awareness and technical inability. Save yourself some public embarrassment, sheesh. Review: Great HD transfer! - After decades of watching grainy versions on VHS, then DVD, it's amazing to finally see these movies in HD!
