OPERATION CONDOR A Film Review By Jesse A. Kaplan
Cast: Jackie Chan,Jackie Carol, Do Do Cheng, Eva Cobo, Shoko Ikeda, Aldo Sanchez Directed By Jackie Chan
The newest of Hong Kong, and world Superstar Jackie Chan's (RUMLE IN THE BRONX, SUPERCOP) movies has arrived to the US. Operation condor definately rates as one of his best. Not since RUMBLE IN THE BRONX, has Chan delieved the amount of fighting and humor the American Audiences.
Basically in this story, Chan plays a hing kong special agent named Jackie. He needs to find a lot of gold that the nazi's left in the Sahara desert in which many a shady character are trying to get their hands on. If you think there are references to all of the INDIANA JONES sagas, you are right on. However the plot means nothing as we come looking for the action.
Chan fights through hotels, the desert, underground castles, and wind tunnel in this one boys and girls. As only Jackie Chan can do, he uses any weapon available, let it be either a scorpion or a towel. OPERAION CONDOR is great fun and and great action as Chan mixes funny humor with amazing kung-fu. Of course there are outtakes at the end so stay tuned for them. "Have you had enough?" "HA HA HA HA.....NO!!"
