Project A Part II

Dragon has been promoted to head of Sai Wan's police and faces a thorny web of threats across the district. A ruthless gang kingpin menaces the city, anti Manchu revolutionaries push for upheaval, runaway pirates drift through the streets, loyalists cling to the old regime, and a corrupt superintendent uses his badge for personal gain. Working with loyal officers, Dragon faces tests from former allies as well as new rivals in a city that never sleeps. The camaraderie with allies such as Maggie and Ms Pak adds warmth to the relentless action. The stakes intensify as the city teeters between order and chaos. Bright moments of teamwork keep the energy high and the humor sharp even when pressure mounts again.

Released in 1987, directed by Jackie Chan, it stars Maggie Cheung, Rosamund Kwan, Carina Lau, and David Lam Wai. It continues the action comedy style of Project A with a screenplay by Edward Tang and James Wong Jim for fans.

Worldwide gross was about 18.7 million, bolstered by Chan's international reach and Hong Kong audience appetite for high-energy action. The film helped cement Chan's star status in Asia and among action fans worldwide, and expanded Chan's international fan base globally.

Beyond its laughs and stunts, Part II reinforced a style that blends practical fighting with comic timing, influencing later kung fu action comedies. Fans recall the set-piece sequences and how Chan choreographs danger with humor, making the spectacle feel both daring and approachable. Its humor arises from situational bits too.

Critics at the time praised the film's brisk tempo and Chan's fearless stunt work, while noting its humor lightens the stakes. Core themes include loyalty to colleagues, perseverance under pressure, and skepticism toward corrupt authorities, all conveyed through brisk banter and character moments that keep the plot moving for audiences.
