Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune [Jackie Chan's] goal is to recover stolen Nazi gold, but his real goal is to wow us, which he does more often than not.

BOUNTY H I must have watched this film about a dozen times! The action and comedy here are on another level as Jackie goes on a hunt for a rare piece of armor, The Armor of God, and the actions speeds' up. What makes these movies so great is not only the commitment of Jackie but all of his crew from the cameramen to the stuntman all working together as a team, a family to bring the best quality film to the audience around the world. This is an Absolute must-see movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Liam D Jackie Chan (City Hunter, Crime Story) is at the top of his game with his acting and direction to make an fun adventure with some action sequences and his signature humour Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Ever wondered what would happen if you took Indiana Jones, made him somehow even worse at his job and blend it together with a Jackie Chan movie? Armour of God is the answer. A delightful, lighthearted romp that mixes Hollywood thrills with Hong Kong-style action. Asian Hawk and his bumbling sidekick are sent on a quest through Europe to rescue a girl and ultimately find a mysterious treasure held by a shadowy organization of monks. Heavily inspired by Spielberg's movie series, the style and stunt sequences are all delivered with the star's custom brand of slapstick and physical prowess. All the elements coming together in a pleasing assortment of comedy, misadventure and gloriously realised action set pieces with a kick-arse soundtrack from Jackie, Alan Tam and Michael Lai to boot. The 88 Films Blu-ray release is one of the best stand-alone releases of a movie I've seen in a long time. A vast assortment of extras, both cuts of the film and seemingly every audio option available with the ability to swap between every sound mix at a moments notice lending itself to a huge amount of replayability. Overall, Armour of God is a fantastic staple of Chan's career and one where he nearly saw it end prematurely, not for the first time nor the last. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Matthew B Best of Movies/TV Series Collection Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/22 Full Review adam b A great sequel that really outdoes itself. Jackie Chan brings his A-game once again. Recommended for action fans everywhere Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I like naked scenes Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
