If your enemy refuses to be humbled...destroy him!
With the help of his brother and trainer Kurt, American kickboxing champion Erick Sloane, arrives in Thailand to defeat the eastern warriors at their own sport. His opponent, a ruthless fighter and Thai champion Tong Po, not only defeats Eric, but brutally delivers a series of illegal blows which paralyze him for life. Crazed with anger, Kurt vows revenge - at any cost - but first he must learn the ancient techniques of kickboxing from Thai Master, Xian Chow. While suffering Xian's grueling and painful training, Kurt's only comfort is the company of his master's niece, Mylee. Hoping to disrupt Kurt's training, Tong Po abducts the innocent girl and viciously assaults her. Kurt, believing he is readyito meet Tong Po in the ring, challenges the champion who agrees on one condition: They must do battle in the ancient manner, with fists bound in rope and coverediin broken glass. Their battle to the finish, born of lust, power, and revenge, will leave only one man standing.

Operation Condor 2: The Armour of the Gods
by Tsang, Eric
from Dimension
When martial arts wizard Jackie Chan is in top form, no movie star on earth is more fun to watch. Armour of God never achieves the beautiful, smooth flow of continuous movement that distinguishes Project A--Part 2. In fact, it feels like a botched international coproduction, short on common sense and plot momentum, long on Eastern European scenery and huggermugger intrigue. The wispy premise is the first danger sign: all the segments of an ancient suit of armor have to be located and reassembled, so that the suit can be used to pay the ransom on a kidnapped girl--Jackie's old flame. (He competes for her affections with a chum played by heartthrob pop star Alan Tam.) The creepy Aryan bad guys are hiding out in a mountain retreat in Yugoslavia, which is stormed with gusto. A long second-act interlude of door-slamming bedroom farce is a dreary drag, but there's some good body-slamming action toward the end--especially when Jackie squares off with a trio of black female body builders in S/M leather. With the dashing Rosamund Kwan (the glamorous revolutionary of Project A) as Laura Lai. --David Chute
This fast, entertaining adventure -- directed by and starring the world's number one action superstar, Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR, OPERATION CONDOR, SUPERCOP) -- is the must-see "prequel" to the crowd-pleasing hit OPERATION CONDOR! Jackie is back and hotter than ever as a hard-hitting fortune hunter whose ex-girlfriend is kidnapped and held for ransom by an evil cult! Then things really kick into high gear when her fiance, an old friend of Jackie's, turns to him for help in finding and delivering the kidnappers' lone demand: the priceless Armour Of The Gods! Performing his own death-defying stunts, there's no stopping Jackie as he -- with the help of a sexy woman and a hilarious sidekick -- attacks his mission with a lethal mix of pulse-pounding action and sidesplitting humor!
