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.
