How to watch the Armour of God movies in order

Armour of God is Jackie Chan's globe-trotting take on the adventure genre, often described as his answer to Indiana Jones. The series spans three films across nearly three decades, so a watch order guide helps.

In Armour of God, Jackie Chan plays Asian Hawk, a daring treasure hunter chasing priceless artifacts around the world. Blending stunt-heavy action with globe-trotting adventure, the franchise became one of Chan's signature series, famous for the dangerous fall during the first film's production.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows Asian Hawk's adventures as they span from the 1980s to the 2010s.

  1. Armour of God (1986)
  2. Armour of God II: Operation Condor (1991)
  3. Chinese Zodiac / CZ12 (2012)

The films are standalone adventures featuring the same adventurer, so chronology lines up with the release order.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Each entry is a self-contained treasure hunt, so story order mirrors the release sequence.

  1. Armour of God (1986)
  2. Armour of God II: Operation Condor (1991)
  3. Chinese Zodiac / CZ12 (2012)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Begin with Armour of God (1986), then continue with Operation Condor, widely regarded as the stronger of the two early films thanks to its elaborate wind-tunnel finale. Chinese Zodiac, released decades later, serves as a late sequel that revisits the treasure-hunting premise. Watching in release order gives you Chan's full adventuring saga from its 1980s roots onward.
