Armour of God (1986)
5/10
There are no bad Jackie Chan films but this one is not good either
19 November 2000
This really is one of Chan's ‘worst' films, though it is still acceptable. There are of course a few fighting scenes, which by the way are not memorable. Further they are a few comedic element, but either they are too goofy or they are not so funny that you roll out on the floor laughing. These two ‘failures' of the film then show you how ‘bad' the script actually is and that was it, for my hope to watch a good film. The most memorable scenes in this film are the gum eating scenes. Everything in here is just OK, nothing more and I really felt while watching this film, that the directing Jackie Chan still had a lot to learn (something I cannot say of Operation Condor – Armour of God 2). While I am on the subject, if you have seen Operation Condor, do not watch this one, but if you have already seen this film, you must watch Operation Condor, for otherwise you will not believe how much more superior a second part can be.
