Jackie Chan in his greatest adventure ever!
Chan plays Jackie, aka the Asian Hawk, an Indiana Jones-style adventurer looking to make a fortune finding exotic antiquities. After discovering a mysterious sword in Africa, a band of Satan-worshipping monks kidnap Jackie’s ex-girlfriend Lorelei, demanding as ransom the sword and other pieces of the legendary Armour of God – a reportedly magical outfit dating back to the Crusades. He manages to get the objects in question from wealthy collector Bannon, and together with Bannon’s daughter May and, of course, Hong Kong rock star Alan, the three head out to rescue Lorelei. When they do, they discover too late that she has been brainwashed. She drugs Alan, taking him and the armor back to the monastery. Jackie is forced to take on an army of satanic monks single-handedly.
This film is especially remembered as the shoot that almost killed Jackie Chan. While jumping from one tree to another, he slipped and plunged almost 40 feet landing on his head. True to hallowed Hong Kong tradition, that outtake along with dozens of others is included at the end of the film.
“The film hits escape velocity, moving straight from one phenomenal set piece to another, with no room between to catch your breath.” – TV Guide’s Movie Guide
“An excellent example of Chan at his comic/kick-’em-up best, blending elements of both James Bond and Indiana Jones, along with the requisite zany fights and stunts.” – Deseret News, Salt Lake City
“Overflowing with Chan’s trademark stunt setpieces (not to mention his own goony brand of extremely broad slapstick), the film’s a dazzler…” – Austin Chronicle
