Jackie Chan successfully does it again! He directs, and stars in this hit movie Operation Condor . The fighting scenes are as good as ever, but the plot could use some improvement.

The amazing introduction where he escapes from natives after taking a very valuable jewel from them, and then gets chased by them, is hilarious! It's just so funny! I was laughing through the entire escape.

The Mid-section is a combination of James Bond and Indiana Jones, with a well chosen background music (Raiders of the Lost Ark).

plot

The United Nations' top secret agent Chan tries to stop terrorists from finding 240 tons of gold which Nazis hid under the Sahara desert during World War II. Three women Join Chan on his mission.

As I said above, the sound effects are well-chosen, with bones cracking, and Jackie's fists of fury cutting through the air.

I have to tell you, the best part of the movie is the wind-tunnel scene, where Chan fights with 2 German soldiers and the things they do (Whoa!) they fly around, fighting, they almost get sucked into the tunnel, and the comical faces they make when the wind blows in their face (hahahahaha).

If you liked this movie here are a few movies of the same genre that you might like: Legend of the Drunken master (Read my review for it), Jackie Chan's first Strike, and Who am I. Those are all great, action packed Jackie Chan style movies that of course star Jackie Chan.

This movie is rated PG, so I would recommend this to just about anyone. There's no profanity, though there's is one brief part with nudity. So it's up to you to decide whether to watch it or not.

Overall, this is a great movie, and it is a must-see for any Jackie Chan fan.

Please leave your comments saying what you liked, disliked, and what I could do to improve this review.
