Armour of God

Armour of God (1986) is the Jackie Chan adventure you can watch online on iFILM. Chan plays a treasure hunter nicknamed Asian Hawk, a globe-trotting dealer in rare antiquities, and he also directs the picture and does his own stunts.

After Hawk turns up a ceremonial sword in Africa, he's pulled into a hunt for the scattered pieces of a legendary suit of armour dating back to the Crusades. A cult holed up in a mountain monastery snatches his ex-girlfriend and demands the relics in exchange for her life. From there it's pure Chan: rooftop chases, improvised weapons, and fights built around whatever furniture happens to be in the room. The closing brawl against four female bodyguards is a setpiece fans still quote.

Chan nearly died filming this one, taking a bad fall from a tree, which is exactly why the danger feels real and not painted in later. A straight-up thrill ride for anyone who loves practical stunt work with no digital safety net. Stream Armour of God (1986) online on iFILM.
