Hero extraordinaire Jackie Chan returns to his popular role of Dragon Ma in this 1987 follow-up to the earlier stunt extravaganza Project A. No longer a part of the Coast Guard, Dragon's been asked to take the reins of a corrupt police district. At every turn, Dragon must work to undo the damage rendered by the cops' previous Superintendent, the crooked Chun (Lin Wei). Along the way, our hero hooks up with a band of revolutionaries (Rosamund Kwan, Maggie Cheung, and Carina Lau among them) in his quest to put away the corrupt police official and fend off the bloodthirsty pirates that survived the first film.

To be honest, the first three-quarters or so of Project A Part II aren't that interesting. Sure, there are moments of the usual Jackie Chan magic, but it's not until the last act that the movie really cuts loose. The action is swift, sleek, and ridiculously dangerous - just how a Jackie Chan flick should be. The film even features a spectacular homage to one of Jackie's heroes - silent era star Buster Keaton - in a finale that, quite literally, brings the house down. Though the appearance of several fine actors besides Chan brightens the proceedings from time to time, Project A Part II suffers in the long run from a weak script. At its core, the film is really just a showcase for Chan's amazing stuntwork. And for plenty of viewers, that's all they came for. (Calvin McMillin 2002)

• Project A alums Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are conspicuously absent from the sequel. Everything from simple scheduling problems (Eastern Condors was in production) to a reputed tiff with Jackie has been cited as reasons for their exclusion from the film.
