Fantasy Mission Force (1983)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good concept, poorly executed.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Everyone must be very high while making Fantasy Mission Force cause this is easy the strangest movie starring Jackie Chan, Brigitte Lin and Yu Wang i've ever seen.There actually a plot in this movie but most of the time it go nowhere for no good reason.The movie is so freaking random that by the time it end i still don't know why or how that happen.I'm never bore while watching this movie,but......ugh!Go watch Eastern Condors if you want a true kung-fu war movie

There are some wacky elements here: Nazi muscle cars, Amazonian cannibals, vampires, Jackie Chan, all in remote parts of Canada and/or Luxembourg. And yet there is so little plot that these are only momentary surprises among almost entirely unremarkable fight scenes (the one exception was a worthwhile attack with vibrant ribbons that was eye catching and well crafted).

Possibly the most insane Jackie Chan vehicle, "Fantasy Mission Force" begins with a bearded General with a monocle deciding who is going to be part of a commando group. He shows the people in the room a slide show of James Bond, a man resembling Snake Plissken and Sylvester Stallone as Rocky. After stating that "James Bond is not available, he's in a different country", and "Rocky is not part of a military operation!", he is cut off in mid-sentence by the title, credits and song. It then goes to a bar where people are singing and dancing.Are you confused? That's okay, it's all part of the nonsensical fun.Next we have Jackie Chan (in this outing as "Jacky") fighting a sumo wrestler. He did fifteen years in jail "for gambling". It then cuts to a Monty Python-style parade of Chinese Scottish people in kilts and playing bagpipes. The "Fantasy Mission Force" consists of a few people walking around outside. They then find a haunted house with a floating head. Then there are "yellow-hooded Nazis".This movie is a jumble of crazy ideas, sped-up martial arts, bad dubbing (Jackie Chan sounds like a girl) and jagged editing. It's rare that you see a movie where absolutely nothing makes any sense whatsoever. There are some fight scenes at the end that are somewhat "normal" but "Fantasy Mission Force" is one silly, zany scene after another. If that sounds like your cup of tea, see it if you get the chance! For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Well i bought the "Fantasy Mission Force" in the Jackie Chan triple punch pack for about 6 bucks and I tell you what, I did not have a clue what I was in for with this movie. First off there is no real plot there is everything from Jungle women and Nazi's to Abe Lincoln and Haunted Mansions. Then Jackie Chan is barely in the film, maybe for a good 10 minutes at the most. When I finally finished the movie all I could say was "Wow" I had no clue what I had just seen. A bad dream? A hallucination? I don't know, the best thing this movie is for is a good laugh because thats all I did. The description on the back of the movie box says "Fantasy Mission Force"-"Japan is trying to take over the world and during an attack on the Chinese forces, the Japanese capture four Western Generals. Fearing that if this news were to reach their troops it would affect their morale greatly, a force of loners and fighters is put together to try and rescue the generals and save the war effort with the promise of gold and pardons of past crimes." Well I guess thats what its supposed to be about but this is the Weirdest movie I have ever seen,ever.
