This A is for Action!

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.

Jackie Chan directs himself and fellow martial arts superstar Sammo Hung in this action film. As is usually the case, Chan performs all of his own stunts during the film.

“Considered by many to be Chan’s best picture, this action-comedy-adventure successfully mixes elements of Bruce Lee and Buster Keaton.” – Film4

“The chance to see Jackie and his team at the peak of their powers!” – Eye for Films

“Shot before Chan had broken every bone in his body twice, the spry Chan had such agility and quickness it’s truly frightening to watch.” – Filmcritic.com
