Armour of God 3 Next For Chan
Recent Asian press reports confirm that the Chanster is set to reprise one of his most popular characters for his 100th film in the third instalment in The Armour of God series of movies. Armour of God: Chinese Zodiac (aka: Armour of God 3 or technically Operation Condor 2) will star Jackie as well as seeing him co-directing alongside frequent collaborator Stanley Tong.

The first Armour of God film shot way back in 1985 saw Chan suffer his most serious injury yet with a fractured skull. He dislocated his sternum in the sequel – so fingers crossed he will go unscathed in part 3.

Come on Chan! Make sure you put in plenty of Kung-fu and weapons, you owe it to us fans!!

Fingers crossed this part 3 doesn’t disappoint and let the other movies down.

He’s better off doing Drunken Master 3 or Project A 3 instead of this one! He’s too old. At his age, his character won’t look believable being an adventurer (just like Harrison Ford didn’t in Indiana Jones part 4). He could play a good Sifu in Drunken Master 3 or play it straight drama in Project A 3.

At last! I really can’t wait for this. I just pray it doesn’t disappoint. Fingers Crossed

This should be great, my only reservation is that Chan is not as young as he is in the first films and they were stunt heavy films. We know he’s not going to do those heavy stunts that might kill him so I hope he turns up the fighting for this one.

first sign of CGI: this film WILL suck.
