How"s this for confusing? When Miramax acquired the US distribution rights to a large chunk of older Jackie Chan titles, they took his 1991 franchise sequel Armour of God II: Operation Condor, dubbed it into English, mangled it in editing, slapped an annoying pop soundtrack on it, and released it under the simplified title Operation Condor. Later, after that movie had been a moderate success for them, they did likewise with the original 1987 Armour of God, this time retitling it Operation Condor 2: The Armour of Gods. Thus, the first film in the series was turned into a sequel to its actual sequel, which now comes first. Never mind that Jackie himself and all of the fashions and styles in "Operation Condor 2" look obviously older and more dated than the other Operation Condor. It"s through boneheaded strategies like this that Miramax earned its reputation for disrespectful treatment of foreign films. Fortunately, this new box set release of the Armour of God Series from Hong Kong provides a decent opportunity for English-speaking fans of Jackie"s work to watch the films as they were originally meant to be seen. If you only know Jackie Chan from his sub-par American movies, you owe it to yourself to check out his better Hong Kong classics. The Armour of God Series would be a fine place to start. The DVDs:Fortune Star"s box set contains both movies in their original Cantonese language and full-length Asian cuts (Miramax likes to dub and chop to hell most of Jackie"s movies that they import).
