Ok, so technically the pinyin is information about the film, but so is the fact that in French its name is pronounced /pʁoʒe a:/ . Neither piece of information is relevant or important enough to be in the first sentence of the article.

'It is quite unlikely that someone would want to know the Mandarin pronounciation of its title who could not already read the Chinese characters'
Don't assume! Mandarin is by a long way the most spoken language on Earth & it's only become more so with globalisation, so it is the case many interested in learning more mandarin would want to know a HK movie's mandarin's name & speaking/listening to it is FAR easier. From personal experience as I am chinese but it's my 2nd language, where my literacy skill are limited.

Project A T.V.

There needs to be a "Project A (TV Series)" pages added for the 2007 Hong Kong TV series with the same name, based upon the Project A movie covered here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.249.47.11 (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad somebody mentioned it. There's already a link here from Dicky Cheung, the star of the T.V. show.

Movie Project A.

So far, the article isn't too bad but I will need a lot of help in making this article at the level of like Seinfeld and The Simpsons in terms of having tons of details, behind the scenes etc. So if you're willing to help me through this, I'll be glad that my work has not gone too waste as well as learning more about team work but one step at a time. So if anyone is reading this, give it a shot. Johnnyauau2000 (talk) 13:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


In the movie you see 2 different takes of Jackie falling from the clock tower. Infact the first take you see is actually 'Mars' falling (one of JC's longtime stunt team members). The second take is Jackie. Mars also doubles for Jackie in serveral other small stunts in the film. Most obvious is in the clock tower fight, just before the fall. If you want screen shots of proof. Just ask me. Greg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.220.140 (talk) 13:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed pinyin romanisation

I removed the pinyin romanisation of this film's name. It is a Cantonese film, released in Hong Kong, and it is quite unlikely that someone would want to know the Mandarin pronounciation of its title who could not already read the Chinese characters.

Ok, so technically the pinyin is information about the film, but so is the fact that in French its name is pronounced /pʁoʒe a:/ . Neither piece of information is relevant or important enough to be in the first sentence of the article. 81.31.112.212 (talk) 14:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
