Risking everything and performing all his own death-defying stunts, Chan ignites the big screen as the world's greatest secret agent, code name Condor. Sent to track down stolen Nazi gold buried beneath the Sahara, Condor is pursued by a ruthless band of treasure-hunting terrorists. With the help of three sexy sidekicks, Jackie takes off on a globe-spanning chase ... in an incredible quest to reach the hidden bounty first! It's going to be an action-packed fight right up to the explosive climax ... and you won't want to miss one minute of the thrills!

    Unlike First Strike, Supercop, and Rumble in the Bronx, Condor is less about the amazing things Jackie can do than the amazing places they have him doing things in.

    There's a by-the-numbers feel to much of the action.

    The point of the movie is the fight scenes, and they're impressive, as is the car chase, one of the funniest, most inventive in recent memory.

    A flawed but forgiveable pleasure.

    Most of the movie is made up of rapid-fire stunts and very funny slapstick, which are universally hilarious and eye-popping — sometimes at the same time.

    Too simplistic and silly.

    Fortunately, Chan is so enjoyable that, even though the plots and characters vary from recycled to irrelevant, mediocre films like Operation Condor still feature bursts of undeniable entertainment.
