Project A
While some of Chan's comedy stunt work in "Project A" has similarities to the comedy stunt work of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd, Chan had not seen their films at the time, as they were not available on home video. According to Chan, "Project A" was an evolution of the action stunt work he had already been doing in earlier kung fu comedy films since "The Young Master" (1980). He only became aware of Keaton later from Western critics who watched "Project A" and drew comparisons, after which Chan watched Keaton's films when they eventually became available on home video and realized how similar Keaton is to himself.
