Project A has a clock tower stunt in it, but Jackie Chan had not seen the films of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd when he made this movie, as they were not available on home video. He saw this as the evolution of comedy, action and martial arts that he'd been working on since The Young Master.
This movie and Dragon Lord were the first films since Jackie came back from his initial failed time in America and he had something to prove.
Sergeant Dragon Ma (Chan) is part of the Hong Kong Marine Police, which is battling both pirates and their Hong Kong Police rivals. After one fight oo many, the Marine and regular police have to join forces.
Beyond Dragon Ma, Project A also has Sammo Hung as Zhuo "Fei" Yifei and Yuen Baio as Inspector Hong Tin-Tzu. In time, they all join together to face pirate lord Lor Sam Pau (Dick Wei), who is smuggling guns directly from the cops.
Up until Project A came out, Hong Kong movies didn't have the large sets and attention to period detail that other movies did. It's also a film that isn't all fighting, but instead a mix of action and combat.
