Reply to comment by AmusingMusing7 in Jackie Chan's last good movie? by Ebbemonster
We have very similar taste! I love all the movies you have mentioned. Then you will have to watch Super cop and the Armour of God movies too š

Iāve seen both of those. Armour of God is āOperation Condor 2ā in the west, and Supercop is the third Police Story. So those are included in my honourable mentions.
The release of the Operation Condors in particular can be quite confusing. In China, Armour of God is the first one and Armour of God II: Operation Condor is the second one. In the US, they were switched, with the second one being released first as āOperation Condorā, and then Armour of God being released second as āOperation Condor 2: Armour of the Godsā. I tend to refer to them as āthe Operation Condorsā because theyāre kind of interchangeable in my mind and I never remember which one is which. It doesnāt help that itās been a while since I watched them. I feel like āOperation Condorā (US first release) is the one with the wind tunnel, and then āOperation Condor 2: Armour of the Godsā is the one with the monks and crazy savage women and balloon ball.

Ah true, I missed the Operator Condor mention in my eagerness to comment š¤£ The dumbest naming convention ever, but I guess they didn't want to launch a sequel in the US after Jackie had just had his breakthrough. I love the fight with the amazon women š And the main monk is so over the top!
Many years ago I actually did a Top 10 on YouTube that got way more attention than it deserved š But it had Armour of God as number one. I even enjoyed The Protector and City Hunter back then š https://youtu.be/SU-wW19uJ7I
