Compared with Jackie Chan’s previous works that purely focused on fist and action fun, the plot development of this film is more complicated and tortuous. Among them, there is a political declaration of "analogizing the past with the present", reflecting that Jackie Chan has gradually paid attention to the connotation and connotation of the film. Depth is a welcome improvement. Although this sequel does not have the co-stars of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in the previous episode, there are glamorous actresses such as Maggie Cheung, Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau and so on. The dangerous martial arts scenes are still dizzying. Jackie Chan himself still maintains a consistent fighting performance, and the design of fighting moves is compact and exciting. Some clips also fully play the "comedy of situation" laughter effect.
Jackie Chan’s films in the 1980s have always left people with a deep impression of comedy and fighting. Although "Project A II" also learned from Hark Tsui's "Sword Horse Dan" and added elements of the revolutionary uprising, it still achieved the highest achievement in these two areas. Humorous fighting is brought to the extreme in this film. The film continues the magical and thrilling experience of the little police detective Ma Rulong. With a series of jokes and wonderful actions, it is matched with a Hong Kong-style civilian hero story carrier. Compared with the previous work, this sequel is not inferior, with the same excellent texture and outstanding. In the police story, Maggie Cheung, who became attached to Jackie Chan, appeared in the lineup of the film again this time. Carina Lau and the newly debuted red beauty Rosamund Kwan joined. It can be said to be lively, fascinating, and also a family class. Therefore, he won the Best Action Design Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year.
" Project A " was cited as a proud work by Jackie Chan. It was planned to have a sequel, but "Project A II", which was completed in 1987, has little connection with the first episode. As for the actors, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao did not join. In terms of plot, there is only a bunch of remaining pirates seeking revenge on Jackie Chan, which reminds people of its relationship with "Project A". However, the story of this completely independent sequel is still wonderful. In this film, Jackie Chan has intricate conflicts with police scum, revolutionary volunteers, Qing court masters, and remaining pirates. The dangers encountered include assassinations. , Framed, attacked, revenge. The plot of the film is ups and downs, intense and exciting, and full of Jackie Chan's misplaced jokes about showing embarrassing situations and turning bad luck. It's pretty good-looking. In addition, although "Project A II" also learned from Hark Tsui 's "Sword Horse Dan" and added revolutionary elements, Jackie Chan also has a section of the freedom declaration to examine the revolutionary politics from the perspective of a small social figure, which is quite meaningful.
