Armour of God: Jackie Chan Fights Satanic Monks?! (WTF Did I Just Watch?)

Okay guys, so I'm continuing my deep dive into classic cinema, and tonight I watched 'Armour of God' staring Jackie Chan. I'm a huge Jackie Chan fan now and this was definitely different than his usual stuff. I mean, the plot is basically Indiana Jones but with way more ridiculous fight scenes and...Satanic monks? Seriously, where did that come from? I legit laughed out loud when the monks showed up looking like some heavy metal band from the 80s. Some of the stunts in this movie are INSANE. That scene where he jumps (I think it was) from a cliff to a hot air balloon?! Absolutely bonkers. The fight choreography is top-notch, of course, but it's also just so incredibly over-the-top. I mean, the bad guys are seriously bad at fighting...until the plot needs them to be good. Honestly, logic takes a backseat to the action, which is fine by me, especially after a long day. I don't think this movie is supposed to be serious. There's one really weird scene where Jackie and his sidekick are running around in some kind of giant hamster wheel. It makes absolutely no sense, but it's also strangely hilarious. And the ending, with the monks getting totally wrecked, was so satisfying. I think the villain leader kind of looked like an extra from "The Crow" which made me chuckle. Overall, 'Armour of God' is a bizarre, action-packed, and completely ridiculous film. It's definitely not high art, but it's incredibly entertaining. I'm still not sure I understand the story, but I don't really care. 7/10 just for sheer entertainment value. Definitely gonna rewatch it with some friends sometime.
