A hilariously campy series of [[MartialArtsMovie martial arts films]] by Creator/JackieChan, in which he plays a mercenary tasked with the retrieval of ancient treasures. Basically a slapstick version of ''Franchise/IndianaJones''. The movies are ''[[MacGuffinTitle Armour of God]]'', and its sequel, ''Armour of God 2: Operation Condor'', would later released in the United States in reverse order with the second film released first as ''Operation Condor'' and the first film released last titled ''Operation Condor 2: The Armor of the Gods'' DirectToVideo.

!! This film series provides examples of:

* AmazonBrigade: Used by the BigBad in ''Armor of God''
* CareerEndingInjury: This nearly happened to Chan while filming, when a stunt he was performing went wrong and he broke his head. As a result of vital surgery to have his skull plugged up, he has had partial hearing loss in one ear.
* CollapsingLair: Happens at the end in both films.
* CombatStilettos: Averted in ''Armor of God''. One of the female assassins gets her heel stuck in a wooden catwalk. The next one up on the walkway removes her heels.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler: In ''Operation Condor'', the Dragon betrays Adolf the minute he gets the gold.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''Operation Condor'' [[spoiler: Adolf stays behind to enable the others to escape the exploding Nazi base]]
* [[HollywoodGeography HongKong Geography]]: The action zooms from Graz to Vienna to Graz in consecutive scenes. And then there's plenty of CaliforniaDoubling, of course.
* LighterAndSofter: ''Operation Condor'' is far more comedic in tone compared to ''Armor of God'', with less gore or onscreen deaths, plenty of slapstick moments in-between, and the stakes being a lot lower for the heroes.
* LoveTriangle: In ''Armor of God'', Jackie is Lorelei's ex and currently with Alan, although Alan worries she still has feelings for Jackie and Jackie is still bitter she chose Alan. Although they resolve it before the end of the first film.
* MassOhCrap: During an intense fight scene between Jackie and some Mooks, someone knocks over a giant bomb. Everyone freezes and stares as it rolls towards the wall...
* MatchingBadGuyVehicles: In Armor of God 2, Jackie rides a motorcycle through several city streets and a dock, pursued by at least six cars, all very similar in appearance.
* ModestyTowel: In ''Operation Condor'', one of the ladies goes through an entire action sequence while wearing one of these, and loses it several times.
* NaziGold: This is what everyone is after in ''Operation Condor''.
* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: [[spoiler: The ending of both films has both the Armor of God and the Nazi Gold lost by both sides.]]
* NowWhat: The second movie, which ends with Jackie and his crew escaping the Nazi base while Adolf and the mercenaries all died, and then they're cornered by Amon and Tasza before realizing the duo have ''no'' interest in their gold, begging for water after being stranded for days in the desert. Then the gang starts looking for a way out. Though the 2012 sequel which have Jackie returning confirms that ''yes'', the did escape the desert, eventually.
* ObviousStuntDouble: If you watch the final battle closely, you might notice that in some shots the 'women' have very Chinese-y features. Apparently Jackie was not pleased with some of the fight choreography given by the women (this was not a dig at their gender, even professional fighters have difficulty keeping up with Jackie), so he dressed his own stunt team in costumes, wigs, and blackface, and substituted them in some of the more intricate shots. It helps that the women were already jacked, so it was easier to match their physiques.
* OutrunTheFireball: Used in both films.
* ReCut: The export version of ''Armor of God'' cuts nine minutes, including extended versions of the Losers performance at the beginning and the slapstick scene of Alan hiding in May's room. The export cut was later used as the basis for Dimension Films' version. The Dimension Films version of ''Operation Condor'' cuts fifteen minutes. Both films received entirely new scores for the dubs, which include some musical AnachronismStew in ''Armor of God'', where elements of drum and bass show up in a fight scene shot at least five years before that genre even got started.
* ReligionOfEvil: Practiced by the monks in the first ''Armor of God''
* RagnarokProofing: The Nazi base in the second movie is filled with {{booby trap}}s from the ''1940s'' which are somehow still functioning. Which two mercenaries accidentally found out when they triggered a bunch of automated turrets which then rips them to shreds.
* SelfDestructMechanism: The Nazi base is equipped with one. The buttons are bright read and clearly labelled in German. Unfortunately the girls don't read German...
* WhatNowEnding: The second movie, ''Operation Condor'', ends with Jackie, his partners, and a couple of goons stranded in the middle of the Saharan desert, and trying to make their way out as the credits roll. Ultimately subverted when the third movie arrives in 2012 (''two decades later''), where it's revealed Jackie made it out after all.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: The second-to-last gag of "Operation Condor" is Jackie and the girls being corralled by Amon and Tasza, the only survivors of the whole bunch, who having been left behind by the other bad guys are dying of thirst... so much that they toss away the sole remaining piece of NaziGold when the protagonists hand it over because what they want is ''water, dammit!''
