A decent opening and a great finale bookend a long stretch of obnoxious comedy and stupid romantic subplots. This is OK as an Indiana Jones wannabe, but it certainly isn't among Jackie Chan's best films. Worth a look for the battle against 4 black leather-clad Amazons with huge hair and boobs, and the footage of Jackie almost dying in the credits/outtakes.

Looks like a sort-of attempt to do some Raiders of the Lost Ark shenanigans within the same mad framework as the earlier "Wheels on Meals" Unfortunately the flaws in that film (script, "romance", story) are slightly more prominent here, so the action scenes and Chan's charisma have to do some heavier lifting. That said, it's still a fun and energetic outing, and the inclusion of out-takes at the end adds something. I'll need to revisit Project A and the Police Story flicks.

A few great set pieces scattered throughout are let down by how bad the rest of the movie is. The story is piss-poor and the humour is more miss than hit.

Pretty typical Jackie Chan film. Great stunts, passable acting, terrible script. I can live with that and enjoy the high points, but it's those negatives do drag down the experience.

Some of his craziest stunts, including the one that almost killed him.

(Rewatch: Chan can't write a good dialogue. Very dated romances. Fun backstory with the band.) Good stunts (and very dangerous IRL for Jackie Chan). Very distinctive car (that they destroyed). Interesting to see Lola Forner star in 2 Jackie Chan films made in Europe. Drags in the middle with Laura/May drama. Fav scene: car chase was amazing.

Asian Hawk (Jackie Chan) is an adventurer, treasure hunter and a formidable fighter. Hawk clashes with an order of Satanist monks who have kidnapped his former girlfriend Laura. The monks try to force Laura's new friend Alan to hand over one of the five volumes of The Armor of God, a magical armor whose wearer is invincible. Alan and Hawk team up to find the missing parts of the armor, then devise a plan to free Laura from the clutches of the Satanists.

just doesn't quite stack up to his better films. the chases aren't as good as rumble in the bronx or who am i, the fights aren't as good as project a or police story, and lola forner isn't as adorable here as in wheels on meals. there's one good fight, but it's not really worth it.

Jackie in a Indiana Jones style adventure. Great Finale. Ending title song "higher than high" sung by Jackie Chan is pure eighties cheesy delight.

Maybe it doesn't deliver in stunt quantity as much as some of Jackie's other films, but it certainly delivers in quality whenever there's some action. For me mix of his stunts and 80s adventure cheese just works perfectly and I would never call it a "lesser" Jackie's film - don't skip it.

Even if it has a sub par romantic sub plot, the film is extremely entertaining from beginning to end. You can always count on Jackie Chan and his Stunt Team to deliver memorable movies, be it in death defying acts or action scenes.

Rewatched - Disappointing Jackie Chan film subverts the typical adventure narrative by reducing its relic to a crusty museum piece that Jackie uses to buy back a kidnapped friend. interesting idea as a satire but this movie's oblivious and, aside from a couple of action set-pieces, very dull. Doesn't help that most of the villains are westerners with either no martial arts skills or screen fighting experience. Luckily, the Jackie Chan Stunt Team looks good in drag during the final fight scene.

Jackie Chan almost dies in this movie that is parts James Bond, Indiana Jones, and has him playing kinda of a likable asshole.
