Jackie Chan's Operation Condor:Armour of God

This is another one of my favourite films with Jackie Chan.I think though,this was where he nearly died,performing one of his own stunts.A lot of us all know about Jackie,and his world famous Hong Kong stunt team.It looks great when they pull it off,but alas,the injuries they get when it doesn't come off,are really serious.It makes me wonder,if Jackie and his team really take the safety factor into account.There is a scene in the out-takes,where you do see Jackie fall,and it's really bad.It was touch and go,when they rushed hin to hospital,and even then,the medical staff there,were at a loss at what to do.

Fortunately,Jackie managed to pull through it,but he was very,very lucky to survive.Sadly though,he and the stunt team continue to do these amazing stunts,but with a severe high risk factor.


No copyright infringment intended.

Anyway,I thought the film was action packed,and was filled with fun.Better still,there's more than one damsel in distress scene included in it.

Probably been mentioned on other sites of course,but I don't mind repeating myself here!

There are,as far as I can remember,3 scenes.The first one,is right at the start,where you see a damsel,tied up,and spread-eagled,and of course,ready to be sacrificed.Jackie of course,saves her.

The other scenes in the film,are later on.The bad guys seize three pretty girls,travelling with Jackie in the desert.There's a brief shot of one of the girls tightly gagged,but the other two are abducted on horseback.Jackie of course,manages to find them,and sees them being offered for sale to a Nomadic gathering.Again,he saves the girls,but it was mildly disappointing not to see the two lovely ladies trussed up and silenced.

Oh well,never mind.You can't win them all!

Great film though.:)
