Trivialidades:

The musical sequence with the band "The Losers" is a spoof of the Hong Kong rock band "The Wynners". The members of the Wynners include Alan Tam, Anthony Chan, and Kenny Bee. All three appear in the film.

Errores:

Errores que Revelan: One of the Amazons (actually a male stunt double) can be seen wearing white tennis shoes instead of black heels in a scene where JC knocks her/him to the ground.

Citas:

[upon hearing the siren from a police car approach]
Alan: What's that sound?
Asian Hawk: It's not an ice cream-truck...

Quite surprising, but not particularly smooth...

Armour of God delivers us classic Jackie with a few cool twists. This was made at a time when Jackie's forte was still fight-choreography though his specific style of comedy is also very much present. What surprised me the most is that Jackie is not the straight-forward good-guy like in most of his films (though it's hard to tell at times). The film does good in spite of its sometimes rather tacky humour.

What I love about this film is the honest 80s feeling if the plot is rather weird at times. Regardless, much of the film is excellent and Jackie fans are sure to love it.

Not the best in the bunch, but a swell classic.
