Eastern Condors

Eastern Condors

Set right after the Vietnam War, Sammo Hung’s tribute to American war films has a group of convicts sent on a secret mission with the promise of pardons. Aided by a trio of female guerillas, they must destroy an abandoned bunker of missiles before it falls into the wrong hands. Can this group of misfits work together to achieve their goal with a sadistic general on their trail? Hung slimmed down from his signature larger-than-life figure for the lead role in his epic war film laced with arguably some of the greatest martial arts sequences caught on film.
