Reviews
For those of who are not fans, its laughs will be forgotten minutes after we exit the theater.
Unlike First Strike, Supercop, and Rumble in the Bronx, Condor is less about the amazing things Jackie can do than the amazing places they have him doing things in.
The point of the movie is the fight scenes, and they're impressive, as is the car chase, one of the funniest, most inventive in recent memory.
Most of the movie is made up of rapid-fire stunts and very funny slapstick, which are universally hilarious and eye-popping — sometimes at the same time.
Fortunately, Chan is so enjoyable that, even though the plots and characters vary from recycled to irrelevant, mediocre films like Operation Condor still feature bursts of undeniable entertainment.
