Customer Reviews of Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods
Not a sequel, no matter WHAT the distributor says, but fun While it's great that one of Jackie Chan's most popular movies, "The Armour of God," has finally been released here in the states, the way it's been done is both deceptive and sloppy. First of all, it's not a sequel to "Operation Condor." It'a actually the other way around--"Operation Condor" was a sequel to THIS film. Secondly, "Armour" was originally released in 1986--hardly "his newest adventure," as the packaging claims. Lastly, little advantage has been taken of the DVD format: "Armour" has been released in widescreen, which is nice, but no extra features (like an "original language" option or a "making of" docu-short) have been added. And an actress whose last name is credited as "Porner" in the movie is listed as "Forner" on the packaging. Typo? Carelessness?
All that having been said, "Armour of God" is still a great deal of fun. The plot--in which Jackie's old girlfriend is kidnapped by a death cult, who demand the Armour as payment for her release--would have been too silly for an episode of "Scooby-Doo." But the stunt work by Chan and his crew is amazing, especially in the last half hour. Jackie gets kicked, punched, set on fire & blown up...yet still can chew gum at the same time! The fight scenes and car chases are funny and astoundingly complex and dangerous at the same time. They're so delightful, in fact, that all else can be forgiven. See this movie--just don't pay any attention to the package it comes in.
Great Film - Disappointing use of DVD.
This is perhaps one of my all time Jackie Chan movies. Unfortunately, the producers of this disc have seized little opportunity to take advantage of the DVD format and add features which are common place on new releases.
If anyone has seen a Jackie Chan film in his native Cantonese, you will find the poor voice acting laughable at best or at worst irritating. I had hoped that DVD with it's support for multiple soundtracks would have allowed for incorporating the original soundtrack along with English subtitles. Maybe in the next production run? I can only hope.
Regardless - if you're a fan of Jackie's 80's films, this is a must see. I'd recommend you try before you buy to see if you can live with the dubbed voices.
ALWAYS STICK WITH HK ORIGINAL
Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. For ANY of HK movies, ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.
