Benny Urquidez's kick to Jackie Chan is so fast it actually extinguished a set of candles on the table behind.
You can't fake awesome.

The more I watch this guy, Yuen Biao, the more amazed I am.

Stunts - 96/100 | There's legit a stunt at the end of this movie I was wondering just how the hell do you survive this?!
Narrative - 69/100 | Surprisingly enjoyable and well-rounded for a Sammo Hung flick! My subs were terrible so I guess that didn't help with the melodramatic parts, but many lovely small scenes and character moments.
Fight Choreography - 96/100 | All…
I really liked the themes explored in this movie, as well as the performances (especially Michelle Yeoh), the creative action sequences and use of Multiversal objects, that was great. What I wasn't really a fan of though was how the movie was kind of just… stupid.
And I don't mean by stupid that it was nonintellectual, but stupid as in "hey look how dumb this is!". I don't know, I just thought the movie poked too much fun at itself…
You know, as someone who once had a teacher that was incredibly biased against me for a petty reason (at least he didn't fail me…), the F grade she received on her George Orwell's 1984 essay was so infuriating, especially since I skimmed it a bit and although what she wrote had some errors (he is a British writer, not an American one), you shouldn't outright fail students when they show that they're at least trying with something as subjective…
That Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh never starred together again on-screen after Supercop is an outright tragedy.
Everything about these 2 together in this movie is, quite simply, absolute perfection.
And the rest is pretty damn awesome too.
Project A? More like Project "S" for Stunts!
I know, I know, that title's already taken. Would still make more sense than the current title holder.

Stunts - 100/100 | Absolutely ridiculous. Not only from Jackie Chan but his whole crew as well. Damn are these guys impressive!
Narrative - 68/100 | Apparently this is a movie about stopping pirates until the story completely forgets about them for like an hour or so. I'm not complaining too much though…
