Project A (1983)

Jackie Chan directs himself and fellow martial arts superstar Sammo Hung in the action film Jackie Chan's Project A. Chan plays a 19th century Coast Guard officer who must defend Hong Kong's borders from a variety of smugglers and undesirables. Jackie, like always, is at the centre of all the action (and comedy). What distinguishes Jackie from his Hollywood counterparts is that Jackie is not afraid to do his own stunts- even if it means he will break a few bones- and he tries to show all the action without the needless edits. All in all, if you want an action-comedy then this is it.
