[Jackie Chan's] goal is to recover stolen Nazi gold, but his real goal is to wow us, which he does more often than not.

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

Another exhilarating, jaw-dropping romp.

A laughably dubbed, awkwardly plotted variation on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Audience Reviews for The Armour of God

Jun 04, 2012With first entry in the series Amour of God series nearly killing Chan and the third entry named Chinese Zodiac set to be release later this year. I'm also checking the out sequel which is still as enjoyable and gives a return of Chan character Asian Hawk. Operation Condor, accurate name is Amour of God 2: Operation Condor, is about Asian Hawk who's hired to find WW2 Nazi gold that's hidden in the Sahara desert. The story actually has an interesting historical background for what's Hawk's looking for. Another improvement in the sequel is the humor is better and takes of advantage on Chan new companions. My personal favorite being is Chan using a pet scorpion of another character to fake himself getting poison and possibly delivering the funniest fake death I've ever seen in a movie. Though one issues still remains and that's the fact that Chan needs to save his companions even more than in the first entry. Though this is somewhat forgivable since Chan rescues does give us some of the best moments in the movie. Just like the first Amour of God, it doesn't take itself to serious and focuses on just entertaining the audience. As for Asian Hawk he just as cool and entertaining as in the first entry in the series. Though one thing lacking is the troubled past relationship that made the first Amour of God work and the new characters don't have any history with Chan character. With improvement on the story humor you'll have an experience just as enjoyable as the first entry. One good thing about the dubbed version of the movie is that Chan provided his own voice for the dubbed version, though the movie quality doesn't matter on which version you watch. One major improvement over Amour of God is that the fight scenes are more thrilling and filmed better. The fight scenes have more elements of humor which was missing from the first the movie. Jackie Chan once again brings his game to humorous results with a decent supporting cast. While the Chan doesn't have the same interesting chemistry, the new cast is humorous at times. Though I do feel the actresses will get on some viewers nerve as they're constantly complaining throughout the movie. The change in scenery is also nice as the first entry in the Amour of God series didn't have a huge scope and you'll likely to be amazed by the cinematography in the desert. Operation Condor is an uneven sequel making improvements in some area while making new flaws as well. Operation Condor is not a sequel, but don't go into it expecting something better.Caesar M Super Reviewer

May 16, 2007One of Jackies more eclectic offerings; it covers ground from Crocodile Dundee-esque comedy to Indiana Jones to James Bond spy territory. Fun, but silly even by Chan's standards, but it's great to see Jackie kicking some Nazi ass. But DUBBED!!xGary X Super Reviewer
