In late 19th Century Hong Kong the British may rule the land, but the pirates rule the waters. Reluctantly, the Coast Guard is given money to fight these pirates, but the pirates themselves have many contacts (that is, bribed officials) in the government, and seek to thwart the Coast Guard's efforts to eliminate them. One Coast Guard officer is Dragon Ma, who is determined that his beloved Coast Guard will not be made fools of.
That is the plot of Project A, a film directed and starred in by Jackie Chan(the martial arts master!).
It was released in 1983, and is rated PG-13 for violence. The violence is kung-fu, martial arts, etc.., and is rather comically done, but there is one scene when a man gets shot in the head, and some blood is shown.
But Jackie Chan (aahhhh!!!!!) did all of the stunts ( and trust me, they look like they hurt. ALOT.) and they all looked pretty awesome. There is also very comical dialogue; it was originally shot in chinese, and has english overlays. Well, what can I say but, I hope you will enjoy this film* as much as I did and ADIEU!
* Warning: watch at your peril. You may die of laughter before the end.
