Eastern Condors

The incomparable SAMMO HUNG (MILLIONAIRES' EXPRESS, HEART OF DRAGON and Jackie Chan's Mr. NICE GUY)directs and stars in this spectacular Vietnam War action epic, critically acclaimed by many as Hung's finest work. Three years after the Vietnam War ends, a group of Chinese convicts are recruited by the U.S. Army to return to Vietnam. Their mission-to destroy a missile ammunition dump left behind by the Marines before it falls into the Vietcong's hands. With the vicious enemy in hot pursuit, this bunch of misfits must rely on their firepower-and themselves-to accomplish their mission, and to get out of the treacherous jungle alive. With wall-to-wall gunfire action and an all-star cast that includes acrobatics sensation Yuen Biao , martial arts legend Yuen Woo Ping, and THE KILLING FIELDS'Dr.Haing S. Ngor, Sammo Hung's tough, gritty version of THE DIRTY DOZEN also features some of the most extraordinary fight sequences ever filmed. EASTERN CONDORS is a soaring masterpiece in the history of modern martial arts action cinema.
