I love this movie so much

Awesome Movie

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I think this movie is pretty representative of Jackie Chan's filmography, in that it contains a light plot which is basically an excuse for non stop knockabout comedy and lots of martial arts sequences. While the threadbare plot rips off Indiana Jones and any other big adventure yarns made ten years previously, there's so much action in so many different places that you probably won't notice. This was my first exposure to Jackie Chan and it left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, the stunt work and action was great as expected, even more so when you realise that Chan did it all himself (especially that leap from the motorbike to the hanging crate - awesome stuff). On the other hand, the film does drag a bit and is laden with too much silly old-fashioned comedy and annoying supporting characters.If you're a fan of such comedy then you'll probably end up enjoying this film more than me, but then I'm into serious movies instead of comedies. The acting in the film is typical for a modern Hong Kong production, so make of that what you will. Jackie Chan is strong in the lead role though and his lovable character is impossible to dislike, and frequently impressively athletic in the action sequences. Highlights in the film include the bizarre opening (which pays homage to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK by having Chan roll down a mountainside in a huge transparent ball), an excellent motorbike chase through the streets and docks of Hong Kong, various fights and chases in an African hotel, and all-action finale in which Chan takes on the bad guys in an underground base and a huge wind tunnel. Although the action is non-violent and aimed at kids and adults alike, the incredible fast moves are worth watching for any viewer and the fast pacing frequently makes it breathtaking, if not a little overwhelming in places. Just as they slow down for some dialogue, another martial arts sequence starts up. OPERATION CONDOR is a fun film which is very clever in its own way, but can't end up feeling a little hollow to those looking for more than just plain action.

Jackie aka 'Asian Condor' (Jackie Chan) is an intrepid adventurer treasure hunter. Baron Bannon recruits Jackie to find Nazi gold that was hidden by German commander Hans von Katterling. Ada (Carol Cheng) is the UN liaison in the quest. Jackie goes looking into the German family home. He rescues German's granddaughter Elsa from two Arabs. They are also after the gold.It's got Jackie Chan's comedic takes and his action stunts. It's got exotic locations. It's a cross between a HK action movie and Indiana Jones. It's got a lot of stuff. I like the stunts like the wind tunnel stuff. I wouldn't call the acting good. Eva Cobo has the short blonde hair, a good body and not much else. Carol Cheng is trying very hard to be wacky. The broad comedy should be left to Jackie. This is a bit too silly so the tension is never that high.

Also known as Operation Condor in America (while the first film in this series is called Operation Condor 2: The Armour of God...thanks for that confusion) Armour of God 2 is an attempt at making an Indiana Jones-esque adventure film but with Jackie Chan doing what he does best, kicking butt using martial arts.It's a hilarious film, one of his funnier ones, and also contains a lot of good slapstick action sequences. Jackie is hunting down a Nazi treasure with two girls who are both annoying, but provide for one of the best scenes in a Chan movie (the hilarious hotel scene). Along the way he fights Nazis and natives of the desert.The action of this film isn't as good as many of Chan's movies but it's a great movie for, as I said, the comedic aspect. This film is funny as hell. It's definitely an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.Recommended.

When whatever I want to relax, turn off brain and enjoy the movie, which will me laugh and have fun, Jackie Chan movies are among my first choice. They have a good formula that never fails: Jackie Chan + plenty of hilarious action. Jackie is hired to find a lost Nazi gold, which disappeared during the Second World War, in the Sahara. The story is not original, nor did they really struggled with writing. But that's okay, because you for this movie and did not require more action, this will give you enough to hold your attention. The movie is a collection of all possible clichés. Dialogues, action everything is full of clichés, but they are nicely packaged in a movie and it works well. If you had a hard day, if you want to have fun highly recommend this movie.
