Synopsis & Analysis Operation Condor is
one of Jackie Chan's least entertaining films. The
plot revolves around the efforts of Jackie (played by Jackie Chan) to recover a
cache of gold hidden by the Nazis under the Sahara. The action sequences are
entertaining, but the rest of the movie, which combines Indiana Jones type
scenarios with puerile comedy, provides nothing but annoying lulls between
those sequences. In fact, there is so much to annoy in the film, from the
villains, to the tribesman, to Chan's female companions, that I could not
really enjoy any of its good qualities. Jackie Chan, however, is his usual
likeable self, and he does prove himself, once again, to be one of the greatest
performers of action sequences to have worked in film.
