Trivia:

Although the title was brought over as Operation Condor, it is actually the sequel to the movie Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods (Long xiong hu di (1987).) Armour of the Gods was imported AFTER its sequel, and was given the confusing name Operation Condor 2, when Operation Condor should actually have been named Armour of the Gods II: Operation Condor.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: During the car chase with the various black cars, right at the end when 2 of them go into the water and jackie is seen to grab onto a hanging crate, you can see one of the passengers pop out of the vehicle and give the thumbs up (I'm ok) to the safety crew

Quotes:

[first lines]
Jackie Condor: Not to be stuffed.

Non-stop action fun!

A treat! Overflows with energy, humor, excitement, and jaw-dropping stunts (especially the motorcycle chase scene, during which Jackie takes time out to rescue a runaway baby carriage!). The climactic fight in the Nazi outpost is terrific. Just as much fun, though, are the comedy scenes, like those with the innocent waif (and her pet scorpion) Jackie's team encounters in the desert, or Jackie's impersonation of the folkloric Chinese "hopping vampire" - one of the funniest things I've ever seen in an action film. Didn't think much of "First Strike" but I recommend this one without reservation.
