Operation Condor (1991)
October 29, 2010
Director: Jackie Chan
This movie reminds me of The Mummy because of its desert setting, but other than that it’s really more Indiana Jones-ish. The film starts fast and keeps the pace through the entire movie, as Jackie assembles an ever-growing harem of female co-stars to help him locate a hidden cache of Nazi gold (I.E. the MacGuffin). The fight scenes and stunts in this movie rival some of Jackie Chan’s best films, including a fight scene in a room with a giant fan, a fight scene in a desert labyrinth, and a ridiculously fun chase scene. This movie doesn’t make a lot of sense, but then again, when have action movies ever focused on plot?
