I can't say enough good things about this film..., 10 January 2001
Author: overkill-6

...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!

Jackie Chan at his best in a very entertaining movie, 5 May 2003

Author: J2five from Marburg, Germany

This is Jackie Chan´s best movie. Already as a child I loved the scene with the wind machine (Superman!!!) and still today I have to say that Chan mixed a funny Indiana Jones plot with lots of unforgettable stunts and funny slapstick. Two woman join him on the search for tons of Nazi-gold. But they are not the only ones who try to find it, and so on their quest Jackie more than once has to bring himself and the girls (that always are in conflict) out of dangerous situations. Today chan´s fight scenes are still nicely planned but he begins to grow old, and his actions appear to be less fluid than in the past. In this piece, everything seems to be so easy, and there at least four stunts that you will dream of in the following night. (If I just could do things like that). One of my favorite pop-corn movies, very entertaining, a must see for newer Chan-fans who missed it. After seeing this film you will agree with me that Chan´s new films can not compete with the ones made around 1990 when he was not yet a star in the states.

Funny Chan Film., 20 August 2006

Author: BunninDatPiff420 from Canada(Montreal, Quebec)

Rated PG-13 for martial arts action, some shootings, and sensuality Quebec Rating:G Canadian Home Video Rating:14A

Operation Condor is a very funny Jackie Chan movie which is the sequel to the 1987 film Armor Of God.However when released in America they released this film first so the 1987 film Armor Of God is called Operation Condor 2 in America.I remember renting this film on VHS a very long time ago but I did see it about one year ago on UPN.This film has all the Jackie Chan charm.Great fight scenes,stunts and action but also lots of slapstick comedy to keep you happy.This film is about Jackie Chan and two other people who try to find hidden Nazi gold but others want it as well.Operation Condor is a funny and good film and I recommend it.

Runtime:92min

8/10

Action packed and fun, 20 March 2002

Author: warlorde from OKC, OK

Good movie for Jackie Chan, one of my favorites. Great fight scenes and not fluffy at all. Even the women were appealing. The stunts were also very clever, however I do cringe when I see that guy with the broom in the warehouse take a header when that car goes by him. OUCH! If you want some exciting action with a plot, see this movie!

A Classic Chan Flick., 26 February 2000

Author: magilvilla from Robinson, IL

This is probably Jackie's best movie after Project A. Not just fighting, but car chases and stunts galore make this a good choice for any action fan. Jackie was able to make a huge action epic for about 25 million US dollars. How he does it is anybody's guess. The best Chan movie released in the US so far. See it as soon as possible if you call yourself a Chan fan. You won't be sorry.

Jackie Chan does wonders with a big budget, 7 September 1998

Author: pasmoso from usa

This may be the most entertaining Jackie Chan experience ever. Filmed all over the world with a huge budget and abundance of energy, Armor of God 2 is a fast, funny, thrilling film. Despite the obvious Indiana Jones plot, Chan amazes us once again by risking his life so we can be entertained for two hours. Chan's directing skills are almost as exceptional as his physical skills in the way he captures the action from brilliant wide angles that display the danger of his action. A scene where Chan flees on motorcycle from the villains through the cramped city streets is one of the most exciting chase scenes on film. Chan gambles with his life in every stunt and action sequence making for an exuberant film that must be seen to fully appreciate Hong Kong action cinema.

Chan is the man, 24 April 1999
Author: Fensmn16 from NJ

In this movie, Jackie Chan proves that he can do action and martial arts like no other. He deals with people well in this film, finds his way out of things, fights enemies, and performs stunts all while completing the mission. This is a must see Jackie Chan movie.

Transitional Jackie, 30 December 2004

Author: necredeye from Hollywood, CA

This is one of the more popular of Jackie Chans "early" films and with good reason - its a blast. I call it transitional because those who enjoyed movies such as "Shanghai Knights" can enjoy this and so can the followers of Chan's earlier movies.

Jackie is an Indiana Jones type character who, with the help of 3 attractive ladies, has to track down some hidden Nazi gold. Following him are two bumbling Muslim terrorist types who are entirely harmless, and later on a group of sheiks and ex-Nazis.

With a healthy dose of Kung Fu action and kickass motorcycle chases, as well as gunfights and ample doses of comedy, Operation Condor is a must own for any Jackie fan.

Also see Operation Condor 2: The Armor of the Gods, a prequel which is almost as entertaining.

Pretty Damn Good Entertainment, With Fantastic Fight Scenes, Some Wonderful Stunts, And An Amazing Performance From Jackie Chan!, 25 November 2005

Author: callanvass

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is pretty damn good entertainment, with fantastic fight scenes, some wonderful stunts, and an amazing performance from Jackie Chan!. All the characters are cool, and the story was very good, plus Jackie Chan is simply amazing this!. A lot of this work do to Jackie's great chemistry with all 3 of the girls, and one of the funniest moments in the film for me was when Eva Cobo(Elsa), starts firing the machine gun around everywhere,i don't know why but i found it hilarious. I have yet to see the original, however this sequel was pretty damn good!, plus some of Jackie's stunts simply blew me away!. There are plenty of fantastic fight scenes, some great slapstick humor, and funny characters to enjoy, and i must say the finale was simply fantastic!, plus the ending is amusing. The outtakes at the end with Jackie were just great, and the Dubing wasn't all that bad to be honest!, plus all the characters are very likable. It's very well made, and the big ball stunt Jackie does was incredible!, plus the opening is quite funny. This is pretty damn good entertainment, with fantastic fight scenes, some wonderful stunts and an amazing performance from Jackie Chan, i highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Jackie Chan does a great job here, with great camera work, fantastic angles, and keeping the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is very good!. Jackie Chan is amazing as always, and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, hilarious, had lots of charisma, and brought the charm of his he always brings, this is his movie, and he really seemed to be enjoying himself, as he was tons of fun to watch! (Jackie Rules!!!!). Carol 'Do Do' Cheng is cute, and did fine with what she had to do, she also had good chemistry with Jackie. Eva Cobo was my favorite of the 3 Girls, she had the most charisma, and was also hilarious, i really liked her. Shôko Ikeda is good, with what she had to do,i liked her. The villains were good as well. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall i highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5

Non-stop action fun!, 19 January 1999
Author: Paula O'Keefe (angelynx_prime@geocities.com) from Washington DC

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.
