It might be weird to review Armour of God 2 without watching the first movie, but there's extreme nudity in that one, and the first 2 minutes were weird enough for me to turn off the TV and watch something else.

Synopsis
Asian Hawk (Jackie Chan) -- code name Condor -- is a secret agent for hire. Assigned by a Turkish duke to find stolen Nazi gold buried in the Sahara Desert, Condor must face mercenaries, guards and one remaining Nazi (Aldo Sánchez) who wants the treasure he helped steal all those years ago. Even after teaming up with three inept ladies (Carol "Do Do" Cheng, Eva Cobo de Garcia, Masako Ikeda), Condor still has his work cut out for him on his hunt for the stolen loot.
Review
So, Armour of God 2 is a pretty mediocre movie but the film has a good plot and good fight scenes.
I don't have a lot to say, except in my opinion the film started out a bit boring. Police Story started out with an epic gun-fight, Police Story 2 started with a recap of Police Story, Die Hard started out with hilarious dialogue by McClane and Argyle, Drunken Master started out with a fight, Snake in The Eagle's Shadow started out with comedy, and this movie started out boring. If you do get your hands on this film, fly away like a condor and watch something else - like Die Hard or Project S.
Oh yeah, there are 3 butts in this movie, so you might wanna stick around for that.
To clarify, this was not marketed as Armour of God 2 in Hong Kong.
