Summary: Awesome classic!
Comment: I watched this movie as a child, loved it, and today it stands as one of Chan's finest. I love Chinese humor, it's really hilarious! Jackie is full of portraying a humorous, yet serious role. He is a great lead role here, with two or three excellent sidekicks. Embarking on hunt for treasure was never this fun!

Summary: A great movie, but a very poor DVD
Comment: Jackie Chan's hugely enjoyable romp Operation Condor - Armour of God 2 sees him on the trail of Nazi gold in the desert in a plot that's no more than an excuse for several spectacular stunts - and this contains some of Chan's most impressive stuntwork. His most expensive HK picture, it's also one of his most enjoyable in its uncut version, but sadly this Miramax/Dimension version has typically cut 14 minutes from the Hong Kong version (the US theatrical version actually cut 26 minutes!). It ain't art, but it is fun, and some of the stunts in the massive underground set have to be seen to be disbelieved.
Unfortunately, this is a disappointing DVD all round. It's not just that UK label Hong Kong Legends' excellent Hong Kong DVDs have raised the bar in terms of extras and picture quality, this Dimension release is the dubbed and heavily edited US cut. A budget title in every sense of the word, you're much better off sticking to the Hong Kong releases.

Summary: It's on my list of BEST ACTION COMEDIES of ALL TIMES
Comment: This movie is on my list of BEST ACTION COMEDIES of ALL TIMES. The fighting scenes are excellent. It also has a lot of humour. It makes me laugh again and again.
If you want to enjoy it, please suspens your logic while watching it.
I own it.

Summary: Great movie and and good dvd for the price
Comment: I think it is unfair for the anti-dubbing purists to give this dvd a low ratings simply because it is a dubbed version. If you don't like dubbing, nobody is forcing you to buy this. IMHO, there is good dubbing and bad dubbing, and the dubbing on this movie is actually quite good.
Unfortunately, this dvd doesn't have any special features. However, it is a nice true widescreen presentation.
The movie has lots of humor, action, great stunts, fantastic fights, pretty girls, interesting locations. It also has one of the best chase scenes I've ever seen.
This is supposed to be a sequel to Armour of God, but it stands on it's own, and I'd have to say I thought it was the better of the two. One I'll definitely enjoy watching again.

Summary: Stick with import
Comment: Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. For ANY of HK movies, ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.
