Become a memberThe sequel to Armour of God — the seminal Hong Kong action classic which premiered in Japan in 1985 (when a peak Jackie Chan was enjoying superstar status there) and showcased at FSFF 2021. Condor sees the long awaited return of Jackie’s take on an Indiana Jones stye hero, the Asian Hawk, a renowned daredevil adventurer and finder of lost relics. In this new adventure, Hawk becomes entwined in the search for missing Nazi gold, buried deep in an abandoned German military base in the Sahara Desert. Building on Part I, Operation Condor is a lavish, internationally shot adventure which takes the series to new levels of action; with huge set-pieces and broader, less esoteric comedy for a wider international audience. Over a year in production, the film was epic by typical Hong Kong standards of the day, and went hugely over time and budget, resulting in Jackie taking a backseat from directing for the next few years. Operation Condor will forever be known as the sequel to the film that almost killed Jackie Chan early in production. More than that, the accident filming Armour of God in former Yugoslavia in 1984 caused Jackie to take a well earned break from his relentless early fame schedule and take a fresh look at his own personal style. The completed Armour of God stands out as a fresh volley of action set-pieces and Operation Condor builds upon it. Presented in a new restoration from a 4K master by 88 Films.
