That Stunt Almost Killed Jackie Chan | Armour of God | CLIP
In Armour of God, Jackie Chan plays Asian Hawk, a charismatic adventurer and former rock band member turned modern-day treasure hunter. After acquiring a piece of a mystical medieval artifact known as the Armour of God, he finds himself drawn into a high-stakes mission when a mysterious religious cult kidnaps his ex-girlfriend, Lorelei. Their ransom demand? The complete set of the legendary armor, believed to hold immense spiritual and supernatural power.
Teaming up with his old bandmate Alan and a sharp-witted heiress named May, Asian Hawk sets off on a globe-trotting journey across Europe. Along the way, he must outwit mercenaries, avoid ancient death traps, and battle ruthless cult members in a race against time. As secrets about the armor’s origin unravel, Hawk is forced to rely on his martial arts prowess, clever thinking, and unshakable determination to save Lorelei and prevent the relic from falling into the wrong hands.
Blending explosive action, slapstick comedy, and daring stunts (including one that nearly cost Jackie his life), Armour of God became a fan-favorite and marked a turning point in Jackie Chan’s international career. With its mix of treasure-hunting adventure and martial arts spectacle, the film remains one of the most iconic entries in his filmography.
