Trivia:

Although the title was brought over as Operation Condor, it is actually the sequel to the movie Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods (Long xiong hu di (1987).) Armour of the Gods was imported AFTER its sequel, and was given the confusing name Operation Condor 2, when Operation Condor should actually have been named Armour of the Gods II: Operation Condor.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: During the car chase with the various black cars, right at the end when 2 of them go into the water and jackie is seen to grab onto a hanging crate, you can see one of the passengers pop out of the vehicle and give the thumbs up (I'm ok) to the safety crew

Quotes:

Jackie Condor: Not to be stuffed.

Jackie Chan does wonders with a big budget

This may be the most entertaining Jackie Chan experience ever. Filmed all over the world with a huge budget and abundance of energy, Armor of God 2 is a fast, funny, thrilling film. Despite the obvious Indiana Jones plot, Chan amazes us once again by risking his life so we can be entertained for two hours. Chan's directing skills are almost as exceptional as his physical skills in the way he captures the action from brilliant wide angles that display the danger of his action. A scene where Chan flees on motorcycle from the villains through the cramped city streets is one of the most exciting chase scenes on film. Chan gambles with his life in every stunt and action sequence making for an exuberant film that must be seen to fully appreciate Hong Kong action cinema.
