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:

Continuity: During a pursuit, Jackie is on a motorcycle being chased by 4 black cars. At one point he gets trapped in an alley, and he drives back over the cars that blocked the alley behind him, smashing many windshields in the process. He then throws some red paint on one car's back window. The pursuit resumes in the streets and all the windshields are fine.

Quotes:

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

Follows Long xiong hu di (1987)

I can't say enough good things about this film...

...but I've only got 1000 words, so I'll keep it brief. Okay, so some of the early exposition scenes are a little boring and some other parts are a little dumb, but otherwise, this is Chan...and he is DA MAN! Wild, crazy, and ever-inventive martial arts and action sequences more than make up for the fact that the plot is only semi-existent. The opening "Indiana Jones" parody...the innkeeper...the incompetent terrorists...the motorcycle chase...the "native dance"...the wind tunnel fight...and without a doubt the coolest car door ever seen (you'll know what I mean)...in summary, if you're a fan of slapstick humor mixed perfectly with Jackie's trademark martial arts, you can't go wrong with this film!
