Armour of God Blu Ray Quick Review

First released in 1987 you can now get a wonderfully restored Blu-Ray of Armour of God containing the different cuts of the film. A kung fu heist movie at heart, it sits as one of Jackie Chans most well known Hong Kong roles.

 It’s crazy in the way all Hong Kong films of this time were and contains a heavy mix of martial arts, insane stunts and slap stick comedy. It is perhaps not the film to win over non-Jackie Chan fans and it has some outdated attitudes (the representation of the ‘South American’ tribe at the start *shudder*), but it’s a fun ride and one remembered with a heady dose of nostalgia by many of a certain age and a film that encapsulates the Hong Kong film industries commitment to star based spectacle and action at the time.

 The Blu-Ray also comes with a ton of art stills and production notes.
