Movie Reviews of Operation Condor
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.Movie Review: Excellent film, more features should have been added
Summary: 4 Stars
I love to watch Jackie Chan in action, the only reason this DVD didn't get full 5 stars is, as I prefer to watch the movies in Chinese with English sub titles, better sound. Apart from that Top Film.Movie Review: Has a james bond feel
Summary: 4 Stars
James bond with more martial arts and comedy.Movie Review: Las películas de Jakie Chan, aunque no son muy biuenas, valen la pena, nada más por ver todo lo que hace. Los años no le afectan

Summary: 2 Stars
Most people probably won't agree, but I found Operation COndor to be a bit lacking. Yes, there is a lot of hand-to-hand combat to the film but it leaves a lot to be desired as the action sequences (with the exception of the car chase and the last one) lack creativity and start to feel rather repetitive after we watch Chan beat up the same guys over and over and over again. As to where First Strike featured the fabulous sequence that involved Chan fighting with chairs, tables, sticks, a broom, and even a ladder (a big one, too) and Who am I? had the great two against one martial arts fight on top of a building Operation Condor basically has Chan fighting a bunch of hired guns underneath the ground. It surprisingly lacks tension and excitement considering this is Jackie Chan we're talking about.Chan's attempts for Indiana Jones are a bit misplaced. Yes, there are some genuinely humorous moments, particularly in the beginning, but I found the majority of the jokes to be flat and unfunny, something that's usually not common with Jackie Chan films.
But the most damaging aspect of the movie were Chan's three female companions, played by Carol Cheng, Eva Cobo de Garcia, and Ikeda Shoko. While Garcia was okay and mostly unannoying in her role, Cheng and Shoko really know how to get on the viewer's nerves.
Chan's later attempts after this proved to be better (in my opinion) and he has since then made some of his best films. Condor has some punch but it never quite connects.
