Ok, one of the old classic of the action movies legend, Jackie Chan, I have memories with this movie as a kid, because I remember watching it with my friends in an internet cafe as a kid. I basically can't remember anything about it, or even the story. So, it's kind of watching it for the first time.
So basically Jackie went to some isolated tribe that was about to sacrifice a nude babe in a religious ritual.
He's only there to steal the sword, which is like a sacred artifact.. Damn, Jackie actually use a stunt-double, I watched this video of Rantoni talking about how Jackie Chan is using a stunt double, and it's actually obvious in this movie, as the one jumping and catching the tree isn't Jackie. It's not like a problem, like it's normal that he use stunt doubles in some scenes, and do other scenes for himself, it's just after watching the video, now I see it.
Cool, we have an evil cult leader, I remember that.. Damn this guy eyebrows, I don't know about the eyebrows thing, does it have a religious meaning? Is it indicator of a higher level of spirituality!! Or is it just a coincidence?
So, the cult followers killed dozens of people in order to kidnap Jackie's girlfriend.. Ok.
So, they basically shot everyone, then some journalist went to take photos of the victim to one of the cult followers go back and shoot him LOL.
The cult followers kidnapped Jackie's girlfriend in order to make him get them The Armor Of God, which kind of doesn't make sense to me, like, wasn't god ended up crucified, doesn't seem working, isn't it!! Like imagine the only review on the product is that "I just used it, I'm writing my review now nailed on the cross, it doesn't do shit!", and the comment repeated three times.. Like, the only way this makes sense to me is if the main villain gonna sent it as a gift to someone he really hates!!
Anyway, let's keep watching, WOW, this movie was filmed in Yugoslavia!! The movie also have a historical significance, now, I enjoy it more.
So, they kidnapped Jackie's friend fiancee not Jackie's girlfriend, whatever..
Finally some action scene around 30 minutes time mark, I can't believe this movie was made like 40 years ago, it look so cool and the car chasing scenes is really amazing for its time, and stand out today.
The stunts in this movie are crazy, with the music, I can't look away.
The cult in the movie are Satanists, which is really cool, I thought they would be like christian zealots, but they are actually Satanists, best cult ever *With Emilia Clarke voice.
So, they trick men to join the cult by promising them women, LOL, if that's true, half of humanity would've joined it.
The heroes found Laura, the one being kidnapped by the cult, and played by the beautiful Rosamund Kwan, but they don't know that she was brainwashed by the cult in order to use her to get the Armor Of GOD..
Laura drugged Jackie's friend in order for the cult get him both, which make zero sense, as the cult let them go, and could easily prevent them from running away they were even watching them going away.
All I can say the landscapes in this movie are amazing, like the mountains and the caves just look really cool.
This is the best part of the movie, the escape and the fight scenes, like, I love this part so much, with Jackie unique and funny fight style, especially when he's overpowered.
I really miss these movies, I get that stunt work Jackie used to do could be dangerous today that it may never be made, but at least with the safer ones to get fight scenes that made in a smart way and professionally choreographed would be cool.
BTW, the scene I said it was made by a stunt double, in the credits in the end of the movie they showed that Jackie actually tried to do the stunt by himself and felt and was injured badly, so, they probably used a stunt double to film the shot, but he was probably doing at least most of his stunt work, so, respect, we love you, Jackie.. And of course, we love our Amazon queens ❤❤❤.
