Independent distributors 88 Films have officially announced that they will release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray The Project A Collection (1983-1987). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on October 15.
Description: Project A and Project A: Part II showcase director and superstar Jackie Chan (Supercop) at his very best. The swashbuckling adventure series set in the 19th century casts Chan as Dragon Ma, a lieutenant of the Hong Kong military police.
Project A pits Dragon against a band of pirates who, after calamitous attempts at being captured, have the hero thinking outside of the box. He then decides to team up with an unusual array of cohorts, including a thief, a Navy admiral, and a police officer, to take down the terrorizers of the high seas.
Project A: Part II has Dragon infiltrating the ranks of Hong Kong's police department to investigate the newly minted police chief, who happens to be associated with the criminals and mobsters he's been making a show of arresting.
Both films feature Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Dick Wei, among others, and an impressive array of elaborate and electrifying stunt work that elevated Chan to superstardom, including the Clock Tower Stunt that many consider Chan's greatest.
The limited-edition set comes in a slipcase with brand-new artwork from Kung Fu Bob with a perfect-bound book featuring critical essays on both films, six replica lobby cards, and a double-sided foldout poster.
The special features include both the Hong Kong cut and extended Taiwan cut of the first film, an all-new interview with stuntman Mars recorded in 2024, archival interviews with Jackie Chan, the cast, writers, producers and stuntmen, newly translated subtitles, and more.
