He dodges a large group of bad guys chasing him in cars while he rides a motorcycle through a box factory and he has the time to save a baby. Who could this be? It’s of course Jackie Chan (“Project A”, “Chinese Zodiac”) and “Operation Condor” is yet another enjoyable film from him.

In “Operation Condor”, Chan goes on a mission with several glamorous ladies to find gold hidden by the Nazis during World War II. It is believed to be in the Egyptian desert. Heck, maybe it is some gold left there by the same Nazis from the “Indiana Jones” films.

Jackie Chan is known for his outrageous stunts and fight scenes. This one features a few intriguing sequences (such as one in a room with a giant fan) yet I don’t feel it’s among his best work. I have to point out that the characters aren’t too horrendous and thankfully, most of the screen time seems dedicated to the action. The bad guys are pretty standard. There’s a goofy duo that are out to get Chan and his friends but never put up much a fight. When you see them, you’ll instantly be reminded of at least a dozen or so other films to know what style of characters I’m on about.

“Operation Condor” has a gag in which a girl’s towel gets removed and the scene is later repeated with a different girl and on both occasions the nudity is more than implied. It’s a bit risqué for a Chan film, I thought. Although amusing moments, they seemed to detract from the more family friendly approach found in the rest of the film. “Operation Condor” is a fun film but it’s not as fun as some of his other hits such as “Rumble In The Bronx” and “Who Am I?”. However, if you’ve seen those movies then where’s the harm in seeing “Operation Condor”?
