Indiana Jones style action-adventure, which broke box-office records all over
Asia, and firmly consolidated Jackie Chan's position as ‘The World's Number
One Action-Star’. Starring as ‘The Asian Hawk’, a bounty hunter and
martial arts expert, with an insatiable taste for adventure, Jackie is
blackmailed by a mysterious cult leader into acquiring ‘the Armour of God’ a
mystical artifact from the Dark Ages, which holds the key to
unlimited power.

“Armour of God, a slight take-off on Indiana Jones, is an early but typical Jackie Chan vehicle. Chan's humor and affable personality carry most of the show. The spectacular action sequences, save for one in the beginning, don't start until late in the movie, but they're some of the most blindingly fast action scenes Chan has ever done.” At a Glance Reviews
The Young Master (1980):
Filled with intricate, masterfully choreographed action sequences, clever
sight-gags and fluid camerawork, this timeless classic, made in the mould of
Hong Kong Legend best seller, “Drunken Master”, is even today, one of Jackie
Chan's top-grossing films of all time! This version is the fully uncut,
digitally re-mastered and restored of Jackie Chan's amazing
directorial debut.
“..the film is a little rough around the edges – but the essentials are all here: good-natured humor, rapid fight scenes, and inventive uses of props.” At a Glance Reviews
Police Story (1985):
This digitally remastered and restored is packed with dynamic visuals and
full-blooded fight action which is further electrified by the emotional and
compelling storyline about an honest cop on the run from a false murder charge.
Breaking new ground with its breathtaking fights and Incredible stunt sequences,
Police Story features a top-notch cast, including multi-award winning actresses
Brigitte Lin & Maggie Cheung. Of course in the case of this particular
project the price of excellence was high, with many of Jackie's elite stunt
team being seriously injured during the course of principal photography.

“..a surprisingly solid story. Normally, the fun of Jackie Chan movies is to marvel at his lightning-fast fight scenes and spectacular stunts, all of which he performs himself, and laugh at his unpretentious, self-effacing humor. Police Story has both of these, but the spotlight is on the story. Chan runs into trouble when he's assigned to protect a key witness who is able to testify against the leader of a crime ring. There are some comic misunderstandings, and Chan loses the witness, but then things take a grave turn when Jackie is framed for murder. This movie should be a lot of fun for Chan fans.” At a Glance Reviews
