Movie Reviews of Operation Condor
Movie Review: Great Film, but censored comedy?!
Summary: 4 Stars
How could they?! - This American re-relase (complete with snazzy titles) has been cut to ribbons in a vain attempt to keep it serious! How dare they!! slapstick humour IS jackie chan. Whole scenes are actually removed from the film in order to appeal to po-faced Steven segal fans! Having seen the original version on TV, i rushed out to buy it, then being disappointed by the edited version. Its ironic that the humour is censored, rather than the violence.Still, despite these drawbacks, Its one of Jackie's finest. Big budget (without ruining it like rush hour 2!), very funny, and highly original - the fight in the wind tunnel is both spectacular and hilarious at the same time!.
Its a bit of a downer that its been edited to tone down the humour, but its still a superb Chan flick.
Movie Review: Four Stars for Chan
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this DVD knowing it would be cut like most US films of Jackie's. The reason I bought it is because Jackie dubs his own voice - I just love his voice, whether he is speaking Cantonese, Mandarin or English! It just adds so much more to the enjoyment of his movies I feel. And there are cut scenes - the most obvious a very funny scene in the desert with Jackie trying to give his female off-siders water without their bumbling Arab captors knowing! Notwithstanding all this, this film is one of Jackie's best with amazing stunts and the fight scene in the wind tunnel has to be seen to be believed. A must see, whether it is this version or the original uncut Cantonese with English S/T.Movie Review: Jackie Chan at his best
Summary: 4 Stars
This is Jackie Chan's best movie. Awesome fight scenes. Most seem very realistic. The usual awesome Jackie Chan stunt scenes. This is Chan's version of James Bond. Also one of Chan's funniest. Any Chan fan will like it.As a government agent, Chan is sent out with a female desert guide to search for the tons of lost gold in a buried WW2 Nazi base in North Africa. Along the way, Chan picks up another female accomplice, the German granddaughter of a former base officer.
Several other governments are also aware of the gold, but don't know its location. They either fight Chan or try to follow him to the gold. Good, believable story. Great scenery.

Summary: 4 Stars
One of the better Jackie Chan movies of the 90s. As usual, the cheesiness and humor are nearly excruciating, although often amusing, and the hand-to-hand sequences are plentiful, inventive, and energetic. The "big stunt" climax in this one is a fight in a giant wind tunnel, and it's far more entertaining than some of the "big stunt" finales of films like Rumble in the Bronx, Supercop, and First Strike.Movie Review: Brilliant action with a superb ending
Summary: 4 Stars
Jackie has done it again. If you are a big JC fan, or many just a hongkong fan, this film is absolutly worth your while. MIND YOU ! This is actually the second film of the 2 Operation condor films. The one that the american market claims to be OC2 was made back in 1986, whereas this one is from the nineties. Dont make the same mistake as I did, and buy the wrong one.
