Too much of a good thing
9 June 2003
"Operation Condor" is an action comedy with Chan (who else?) in the spotlight leading three babes to Nazi gold buried in the Sahara with a small army of bad guys on his tail. A very busy flick which is chock full of the early and less sophisticated slap-happy Chan action, this flick is a benchmark in Chan's career; a sort of break-through flick for Chan in the international big-budget a al Hollywood film market. The flick features quantity over quality with nonstop blatantly silly comedy and countless contraptions and contrivances in a kind of "Indiana Jones tomb raider" desert milieu. Not for the jaded, "Operation Condor" is a must see for Chan fans and okay stuff for others into the Chan brand of action/adventure comedy. (B-)
