Eastern Condors (1987)
Reviewed by: Chungking_Cash on 2007-02-21
Sammo Hung and a cast of thousands head to Vietnam to blow up an ammunition dump the Americans failed to secure before retreating. The original Hong Kong trailer heavily comprised of footage that landed on the cutting room floor could have very well given "Eastern Condors" some much-needed substance. The finished product squeezes the life out of the characters in favor of wall-to-wall ammunition, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat. When someone dies the film doesn't allow you to care, nevertheless, "Eastern Condors" is so much fun to look at it's doubtful you'll be satisfied watching this quasi-"Dirty Dozen" update just once.
