(in case you don't remember [!] "Project A" is a great "three brothers*" action/comedy/adventure period martial arts romp -- the one where Jackie Chan replicates the famous Harold Lloyd stunt, danglng from a clock tower and falling down thru several awnings. There are also pirates. And Western ladies dressed in in "19th century period" costume. You can't go wrong with pirates; you can kinda go wrong with 19th centuy period dress, though.)
(*the 3 brothers would be Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao.)
Anyway. It's not like enjoyment of the film resides in the dialogue -- or that we ever really get to enjoy it in its original state, really. And all the best sequences are without diaglogue, after all. So this is kind of fun.
(I could use a Hong Kong movie icon. Hmm.)
