Short summary

Similar to "The Dirty Dozen" or one of that nature. Japan is trying to take over the world and the generals of the allied forces trying to stop the Japanese have been taken prisoner. 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/or pardons of past crimes.

When the Fantasy Mission Force is in the village of the Amazon women, some of the music is "borrowed" from the Ahvide planeet (1968).

Most of the score from Halloween (1978) is included during suspense sequences.

Featured in Rob Hill's The Bad Movie Bible.

Jackie Chan only made this movie as a favor to Jimmy Wang Yu.

The Tuxedoed Guy's real name is "Yu Jin Xiang" (Tulip), and his entrance theme is also that of Chor Lauheung (1979) ("Chu Liu Xiang" in Mandarin), a martial arts soap in which Adam Cheng was starring at the time. Given he played a suave swordsman with an eye for women in the latter, he was associated with these Bond-like characters for a while. His role as "Tuxedo Man" is a riff on that.

    It isn't the greatest film of all time, of course, but it is certainly one of the oddest. No matter how many times I see this film (and I've seen it quite a bit) I never get tired of the relentless, manic energy this film spews from the screen.

    The plot is so inane that I'm tempted to ignore it. It may or may not take place during the Second World War- in any case, the Japanese invade Canada, and, in the process, capture Abraham Lincoln and a handful of other dignitaries. This situation is of course intolerable to our Chinese allies, who immediately hire a crack team of mercenaries to rescue the captives. Wackiness ensues.

    At various points we encounter a village full of leopard skin-clad amazons led by some guy in a tuxedo, a haunted house full of hopping zombies, a ridiculous song & dance number in a restaurant, and an army of Japanese Road Warrior-style Nazis who surf on top of old American muscle cars. The movie is hilarious, and, as far as I'm concerned, a must watch.

    I bought this yesterday and have watched it three times already. The editing is truly laughable. The dialog is bad too, but it seems that the film makers knew it and were just having a lot of fun. It is supposed to be WWII, and there are '70s muscle cars in it? Sick and wrong you say? Naah! They just wanted to play! Somebody gave the producers a bunch of money and explosives and they just took off with it and had a great old time! First they played at doing westerns, then did a Benny Hill skit, a bit of Sheena of the jungle, cut abruptly into a goofy horror movie, then ended with Mad Max. All during WWII? Hahahaha! I laugh, haha. Don't you naysayers get the joke? I mean really, Chinese guys playing Scotsmen with kilts? Asians in German Nazi SS uniforms? British general Robert Foster is Hispanic? They could have gotten caucasians for those parts if they'd wanted to. They chose not to on purpose, and that's excellent. It's what I like most about this movie; logical boundries aren't important. Time, place, and culture just get alllll messed up. If this movie had tried to be a serious action flick, then yes, it would be a failure. I think that when they made this film they achieved most everything that they had set out to do. It's successful, and not a flop. It's just very great in a very bad way.

    Wow. Reviewing this movie is like reviewing someone else's hallucination. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it, no way to even know what I just saw, let alone how to describe it. It makes Yellow Submarine seem as coherent as Schindler's List.

    You owe it to yourself to watch this movie. Because you will sit in utter amazement, gaping throughout, wondering to yourself how, how is it possible that human beings could, or would, produce something this unbelievably awful. And at the same time you'll simply marvel at just how entertaining whatever this is, is.

    I give this movie 10/10, but only because there is nothing else like it on earth. It is so... unique, you just have to experience it before you die, or you will never have really lived. Like love, or a bad fever, no one can explain it to you, you just have to endure it yourself.

    The only relevant description I can offer is this: even the venerable folks at Mystery Science Theater 3000 never had the stamina to take on a film like this, but you can sure bet they wanted to. Enough said.

    Oh, and it has Jackie Chan. Sort of.

    One of the most hilarious HK films ever! Our heroes must rescue American commander Abraham Lincoln from the Japanese Nazis based in Europe during WWII, because Agent 007 was busy, The Bald Detective had defected to the enemy, Snake Plissken had been dead for three years, Rocky (yes, that Rocky) wouldn't be suitable for a military action, and Captain Black Fox (Brigette Lin in another movie that I haven't seen, Golden Queen Commando, I think) had retired to raise a family. And along the way our heroes have to battle amazons and hopping vampires! How can you beat that? This film tends not to be liked by the Jackie Chan purists (he actually doesn't star in the film) but it's one I love.

    My God. I don't really know what to say.. I expected your usual old-school Chan flick. Not even Close. It's a movie about a bunch of goofy characters on a mission to save some people.. I think. Either way, it is TOTAL fantasy with that strange slapsticky Asian comedy that us westerners just don't quite get. Totally off the hook, and here's the clincher. Jackie isn't even a main character! Just an old movie he did as a favor for Jimmy Wang Yu (I think) repackaged under Jackie's name for obvious reasons (moolah).

    Definitely one of the strangest movies I have ever seen.

    This may well be the weirdest movie ever made. It's so bizarre it borders on life-changing. The notorious Lieutenant Don brings together a crack squad of incredibly strange characters, including Jackie Chan, whose screen time amounts to about fifteen minutes. Together the eclectic warriors of the Fantasy Mission Force face everything from toilet-paper-throwing Amazon women (in 1945 China) to ghosts to evil warlocks, all leading up to a final showdown with an army of Nazis, aliens, samurai and Roman centurions riding on top of bulldozers and 1970's muscle cars. And don't get me started on the cameo by World War II Allied Major General Abraham Lincoln (yes, they say his name, and yes, it is Abraham Lincoln). No review could ever do Fantasy Mission Force justice. This movie would make my screenwriting professor break down in tears.

    10/10

    What the hell? This movie has everything! Hopping undead corpses. Crazed Amazons. Ghosts who cheat at cards. Japanese Nazis who attack riding atop 1970s clunker cars. Stupid musical numbers. Abraham Lincoln as a World War II general. Throw in loads of gratuitous violence, Chinese guys dressed in kilts and Elvis jumpsuits, and, er, Jacky Chan (and his chicken) and you have quite possibly the stupidest movie ever made. You won't know what to make of it either, but if you have the proper amount of beer on hand, and a few fellow appreciators of c**p, it won't matter in the slightest.

    Pauline Kael once said that movies are so rarely art, that if you can't enjoy great trash, there is not much point for one to go to the movies. Well, this demented film is trash of the greatest order, a movie so bad it's wonderful. It stars Hong Kong luminaries Jackie Chan (in a small role) and Brigitte Lin, and unlike Ed Wood movies, this film is deliberately bad, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

    I watched this movie with two of my friends, and it is hands-down the funniest movie I've ever seen. It's so horrible. And it's so random. An island of cannibal women. Superheroes with KKK hoods who fly and throw streamers. A haunted house with jumping zombies. For God's sake, Japanese Nazis in Canada whose base is in a barn. And if you watch at the end, one of the junk cars the Nazis have has a Star of David on it. I very, very strongly recommend you watch this.

    If you have any semblance of a sense of humour, you will asphyxiate with laughter at this movie. Jackie Chan only plays a bit part (while holding a chicken most of the time), but the Chinese elvis impersonator, the legendary escape artist "GREASE LIGHTNING", the football helmet wearing nazis, the bandit musical interlude, and the tribe of nubile Amazons will leave you wanting more. Nothing can ever hope to compare to this film. Stop trying to make movies people! - JUST WATCH THIS INSTEAD!

    Except for about 1,000 boring spots, this film is one of the most bemusingly funny "bad movie night" attractions I've ever seen. An absolute trainwreck of a production, Fantasy Mission Force (as its title translates, or so I'm told) is so profoundly and utterly stupid that it deserves a place of honor in the pantheon of cinematic ineptitude.

    Still, it's funny!

    There's a musical number in the first act which, although it fails to tie in with the subsequent story in any fashion, has got to be seen to be believed. Taking place at a what appears to be a huge honorary banquet for white male law students...oh, never mind.

    If you love bad film as much as I do - "Plan 9 From Outer Space," "Glen Or Glenda," "Song Of Norway," "On Deadly Ground," "Boxing Helena," "An Alan Smithee Film," "Battlefield Earth" and the like - you will want to fashion a religion around this masterpiece of the inane.

    Nothing, and I mean nothing, in this film makes even the slightest bit of sense. It makes "Godzilla Vs. Megalon" seem like an algebraic equation by comparison.

    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.

    SPOILERS! (As if it were possible to spoil THIS movie...)

    I'd like to add some fun details to what's already been posted. The four "Major-Generals" captured by the Japanese are French Major-General Pierre Latrec (Lautrec?), English Major-General Robert Foster, American Major-General Abraham Lincoln(!), and African Major-General Guvoyise Secallo (sp?) I can find no information about Latrec/Lautrec. There was an Air Marshall Chief Robert Foster attached to a British squadron immediately after WWII, so it's possible he was in the service during the war as well. However, if he were a war hero I think info would be more readily available. Lincoln looks more like General Sherman - gray uniform and all! I wonder if the American actor playing him knew he was in a WWII film. He clearly mouths "Abraham Lincoln" when he introduces himself. I'm sure I'm misspelling the African Major-General's name (he represents ALL of Africa?) so I can find nothing on him.

    The four Major-Generals are captured by the Japanese somewhere between Alaska and the North Pole! Then for some reason they are taken to Luxembourg for holding. This is where the Fantasy Mission Force must find them because in four days they will be taken to "Tokyo City" for "propaganda". I'm not sure if the movie is set in Hong Kong where it was made, but it seems that Luxembourg is a long way off. Why not wait until they get to Tokyo City? In the end, the FMF DRIVES to Luxembourg! I'm pretty sure more than four days pass before they get there.

    The people considered to lead the FMF have their pictures shown via overhead projector. They are "007" (an illustration of Roger Moore as James Bond), the "Bald Detective" (another illustration), "Snake King" (I'm pretty sure it's an illustration of "Snake Plissken" - Kurt Russell's role in "Escape from New York"), and "Captain Black Bart (a photograph of a woman with an eye patch and Russian fur hat). 007 is on assignment in South Africa, the Bald Detective has defected to the enemy, Snake King has been dead three years, and Captain Black Bart has retired to raise a family. So they settle on Lieutenant Don Win.

    After many adventures they finally get to Luxembourg. The POW camp has two Nazi flags, one green, one yellow. The Major-Generals are gone because other Nazis driving Mad-Max cars have taken them. The cars are all late '60s/early '70s American models. When the FMF finally prevails, Major-General Robert Foster is missing. This is never explained, so I can only assume it is a continuity error.

    I also don't understand about the money. The whole incentive for the FMF to rescue the four Major-Generals is half a million dollars. I assumed this was a reward, but in the end it turns out that it's modern American money hidden in the POW camp.

    I paid $.97 for my copy (DVD). I'll be showing it to many unsuspecting friends!

    Lili is my favorite.

    What sets this movie apart from other, less funny, movies is a scene near the end. It's supposed to be World War 2. The Nazis are coming, but in old junk American cars from the 60s. They even have swastikas spray painted on the side of them. As far as great scenes in awful movies, it doesn't get any better than that!

    "Oh, Jackie Chan's not in the movie enough.. All these in-jokes no one could POSSIBLY appreciate.. And it doesn't make any sense! Yikes, I'd better come to the conclusion that it's a bad film, and real quick like, lest my hipster friends think me a FUN-ster." Go away. You, who knows nothing of the beautiful Brigette Lin, or Jimmy Wang Yu, star of countless "one-arm" kung fu films, or Jackie Chan for that matter. Go listen to your Radiohead, and read your Spin. Ignorance is truly bliss. To the true fu fans out there, and to the ones that can appreciate original, unusual films like this, I offer props. Mad ones, even. It's World War II.. sort of. From a heavy drug-user's perspective, I suppose. The Japanese (always the Japanese), in a desperate attempt for world conquest, kidnap 4 generals, and one of them is Abraham Lincoln. Various miscreants and misfits from all walks of life are assimilated into an elite military unit, by one super-tough and, this time villainous Mr. "Jimmy" Wang Yu. It's their job to rescue the generals, in four days. This plot may seem contrived, aside from the Abraham Lincoln part maybe.. but it's the way it's carried out, the way this film takes so many different, weird directions at once. Plot twists, you might call 'em. But these are REAL plot TWISTS! None of that, "Ohh.. so HE was on the bad side. Okay." Who's expecting these guys to be fighting flying, color-rope wielding amazons one minute, then playing Mah Johng with ghosts in a haunted mansion the next?? I didn't. I don't suspect anyone else saw it coming either. And this film is so FILLED with such inexplicable and genuinely funny goings-on.. with KUNG FU to boot! And good KUNG FU at that! "But what about the ending, oh it sucked.." Again, WRONG. The way this film ends, and I daren't give it away, NEVER: suffice it to say, it is one of the most nihilistic and insane conclusions to any film ever made. It's as though the film makers, not content to have merely warped your mind with a whole 90-or-so minutes of brilliant, unheard-of plot developments and VERY competent action (especially from Brigette Lin, Jackie Chan too, natch.), they go the WHOLE nine yards by slapping on an ending that could not have taken more than 2 minutes to conceive, but it stands now and forever as the cinematic pinnacle of "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??" You won't be disappointed in this film, not one bit. Well.. no, there are SOME people that don't like it. There's a good chance that these same folks find the musings of Alanis Morisette to be "thoughtful," "energetic," "liberating," and maybe even "scathing." Egad..

    This is not really a Jackie Chan movie; because, Chan is only a minor character in it and appears briefly. A group of mercenaries is supposedly trying to rescue a group of generals being held captive by Japanese soldiers during World War II. There is another group though that's after the generals, so the mercenaries have to contend with that group as well as the Japanese. Along the way, they also run into a collection of weirdos, including vampires, ghosts, and even Amazon women. You know the quality of any movie is in doubt when Amazon women characters appear. It's always a lame attempt to corral the male audience's attention. The action is laughable in this movie and so are the effects. The soundtrack was stolen from several American movies of the time, which means this was a very low budget film. By the time that the end of the movie arrives, so many characters have died that you really don't care anymore. This is easily one of the top five worst movies that Jackie Chan has ever appeared in. 1/2 star of 4.

    A hectic martial arts farce, it's a hard movie for casual fans to accept. Drinking helps. By our collective second beer, we stopped caring about glaring anachronisms and Benny Hill-like comedic sequences and just started whooping like baboons at the film's many hilariously bad "high points."

    Apparently this is the "Good, Bad and the Ugly" of chop-saki flicks, inasmuch as every character gets his or her own ten-minute introduction to the audience. Yes, there is minimal Jackie, but he makes up for it with a well-choreographed fight scene against a dozen amazon warriors (played by women in the closeups, by men during the stunt sequences) all the while holding a chicken.

    Other highlights include a houseful of decapitated, blood-sucking ghosts which falls somewhere between Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and Roger Corman's Death Race 2000; Plus, a young Kate Bush kicking butt in her vinyl thigh-high red booties; Also, Fans of the "Sharp Object Injury to the Butt" school of comedy won't be disappointed.

    As for the undubbed musical number at the beginning of the film, what can I say that hasn't been said before? It was at once both mind-bendingly horrible and unspeakably fantastic.

    Well worth the $2.99 I paid for it. As long as you approach it as a novelty film rather than expecting a "Drunken Master" out of it, you'll be cheerfully repeating "But first you must call me 'papa.'" with glee and fond memories for days following.

    What a sad world we live in. We go to the cinema and Spielberg tells us what to think. Films have an intended emotion to bring forth and every single aspect of the film is orchestrated to bring that emotion out in us. "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" transports us back to the old west. "Saving Private Ryan" takes us back to France in 1944. How liberating it is to have a film with no such pretenses? Imagine judging each character in a film with no latent prejudice. "Fantasy Mission Force" is that film. Characters: Because you have no clue where or when you are in the film. You also have no clue who the "good" guy is supposed to be. I will not rehash all the finer points that others have made about the film. Others have said that this film is "so bad it is good". I think it is good because you can escape the whole notion of having a director shove his/her views down your throat. Take for example the "Break-away expert" is he good or bad? I say bad. What about the "Tin-Man" (the one with the breastplate). Bad. In fact this film made me want to see all the characters die. There was no tortured hero for me to pull for or feel good for. There was no villain for me to hate or hold ill feeling for. In fact it was quite liberating to be able to make my own opinions on the individuals. Very refreshing. History: While this is supposed to be a film about WWII seeing Chinese actors-playing Japanese soldiers- in Allegmeine SS parade uniforms (poorly reproduced)is worth the price of admission. The terrain is very much Asia and not Europe. I'll include a little economy in the history; all the members of the "force" have huge sums of cash- all American cash and it's blue. One would think that the amounts of cash thrown around the "force" wouldn't be so cash strapped to take on the "mission" I digress, don't try to put any of your knowledge of history, geography, politics, or anything else you learned in school to work while you watch the film. Plot: Lurching. Awkward. And about as predictable as watching a loved one have a seizure. Again this is the allure of the film. You are at a total loss as to what will happen next. Since there is no suspense or anticipation you may feel the need to put in something that is a bit easier to digest. DO NOT! This is a life altering adventure. You have not fully enjoyed film till this. Best moments: The soldier jerked with whip, the hopping vampire comes to life, ghost shot with bazooka.....

    GREAT! B-Movie Weirdness! Nazis, Japs, Amazons, and post-Apocalypse Kung-Fu! One of the best B-movies, crazy kung-fu, WW2-ish, fantasy. Truly bizarre plot, Nazis & Japanese attack? Canada? capture 4 generals - one from France, one from England, one from Africa, and one from America - Abraham Lincoln!, take them to Luxembourg! the army chooses guy captain to form a team to rescue them. including the escape artist guy, the explosives guy, the old west Elvis impersonator guy, his psycho girlfriend, weird Asian Scottish highlander guy, and his sidekick dressing in roman armor. Jackie Chan is a thief the team runs into and he helps - some. they are captured by Amazons, escape a haunted house, and finally have a show down with the 70's car chariot riding Nazis & Japs. Most everyone dies. Jackie revenges them. bizarre and surreal plot, quite a bit of good kung-fu action. lots of B-movie sets, and costumes. just great! taking it for what it is.

    I cannot believe how much of a riot this film is! I have both no idea where to start describing this film, and how do do it. The movie is so bad, so very very bad, but it is so bad, and so off-base thats it is GREAT! It's a rare film that unintentionally pulls this off. Films like Gymkata and the Transporter do, and only because they are laughably funny in their ineptitude. This film is the king of bad but enjoyable movies. Poor film quality, editing, acting, voice-overs, direction, plot, continuity, historical accuracy, choreography, lighting, and writing combine to make this the kind of movie i could not make any better if I were making an action movie to show funny mistakes in film-making. It's like a blooper reel of F$%k-ups! Nazi's that drive 70's American cars with Hebrew stars spray pained on them? Amazon women ninjas? I reccomend this film to anyone who will take it for what it is, IE not seriously. One word of warning for others, this is not a Jackie Chan flick in the modern sense. He's in the film all of 10 minutes! And he's on the cover!

    There's really no middle ground when it comes to this movie. People either 'get it' and they love it or they don't and they hate it. Personally I think it's one of the greatest films ever made but it takes an open mind to appreciate Fantasy Mission Force. Not everyone is cut out for the experience.

    Remember that from the beginning to the end the movie will never once make sense. Don't worry about not following the plot and don't look down on the film for 'errors' like having WWII Japanese troops in Luxembourg. It's called *Fantasy* Mission Force for a reason. Really, the only one that looks foolish is the fool that isn't in on the joke.

    Don't be shocked when scenes are cut off abruptly by the arrival of a new scene. I don't know if the smash cut editing is intentional or if the foriegn distributors cut up the film when it was released on video but it adds to the cinematic insanity. The movie literally moves faster than the speed of thought and you will never know what comes next. Don't panic, just let it happen and be amazed by whatever it is the film is throwing in your face.

    If you're brave, clever and capable of handling the overload you'll find the film is loaded with references to other movies. This is intentional. Producer/Director Jimmy Wang Yu was a notorious lover of Cinema and he 'borrows' all kinds of themes and elements of other films. Much like 'Star Wars' Fantasy Mission Force is a celebration of the motion picture medium. You'll find the film opens with a war movie theme, then jumps to a song-and-dance number (more on that later) and after many misadventures (it's also a road trip movie) climaxes with a cheerfully nihilistic gunfight a la Peckinpah's 'The Wild Bunch' (with a sad 'Camptown Races' soundtrack to boot) then a Kung Fu scene. Then the film stops. It never really ends.

    Words haven't been invented yet that can accurately describe the opening song and dance number. It is quite possibly the greatest scene ever made for a motion picture. It's like a wierd dream you understand through subconscious instinct yet you can never quite explain it to your friends. And what makes Jimmy Wang Yu a great Director is that he makes it all look so easy.

    Call Fantasy Mission Force whatever you want: inane, pointless, silly, incomprehensible, ridiculous, trite or even cheesy. But you can't call it boring and you can't call it stupid. It takes some bright people to make a film so unbelievably weird.

    Dude! Look at this movie. Who cares if it's really a Jackie Chan film or not; that's beside the point! The plot is one of the most random and unfathomable stories you could imagine and the humor is bizarre, bizarre I tell you!!!! The scene where the oddly dressed bandit stops singing to admire the gun of some Jimi Hendrix outlaw dude, who will not relinquish his gun unless the bandit calls him "Papa" is one of my favorite scenes in all movie history. What does it mean???!!!! Classic!!!!! A Classic, I tell you.

    Oh God, I really wanted to hate this movie. I really did. I paid 5 dollars for it and only bought it so I could have all the Jackie movies. So I watched it, trying to find things to hate about it, because I really didnt want this stupid movie, but I ended up loving it. Im really mad at myself for it. But it is just too good(or so bad its good) to hate. Jackie Chan has a smaller role than usual, but he has the best role in the movie, because out of all the good characters, he is the only one to live. And he is the only one to really fight. This movie has the theme from Halloween 2 in it, and plays happy music during the battle scenes against the Nazis where everyone is dieing. This is a crazy movie, and I really loved it. Sometimes you can find it in a 2 pack with Master With Cracked Fingers for only ten bucks or so, and that is definately a good deal. If you like "so bad they're good" movies, or are a fan of Jackie, this is one to check out.

    Fantasy Mission Force

    Genre: Martial Arts, War, Horror, Comedy Released: 1982 Director: Chu Yin Ping Starring: Jackie Chan (according to the cover)

    There are movies that are good to go and see in the cinema, expensive spectacles of light and CGI, impressive acting and intrinsic plot twists, films you walk away from full of hope for the future of the moving picture. Other pictures are just good to watch when you are either stoned and/or drunk. Fantasy Mission Force is one of those films. In fact, it could well be the God of the stoner film. Jackie Chan did this film as a favour to Jimmy Wang Yu, who it's said helped him out with some Triad problems, and only appears here and there throughout the movie. Which is a good thing for Jackie. Our story takes place during World War 2, and begins with Jimmy Wang massacring the Japanese with a machine gun while driving around in a jeep. On returning to base, he is given a mission to rescue General Abraham Lincoln from the Japanese in Luxemburg, and to do so he has to gather a crack team of non-army folks from various locations in Europe. After a quick musical number in Chinese (the rest of the film is dubbed), Jimmy captures his first team member by luring him with food, grabs another who's just escaped from a Chinese jail (in Europe), and bags a violent assassin couple by almost killing them first. The female part of this couple bazookas her house before she goes for some reason, and the whole gang, including a comedy duo, set off for Luxemburg in a jeep. Jacky (as it's spelt here) is a hustler, bumping people for money by duping them into fights or something. It's hard to tell. After making a large amount of cash, the local chief of police takes it off him and Jackie, missus in tow, sets off into the wilderness scant. Our heroes, crossing marshland, are attacked by masked Amazon warriors, and Jimmy is killed. Nevertheless, our heroes plod on, only to get themselves captured by the Amazons, who live in a complex riverside bamboo village (in Europe). A tuxedo-clad James Bong type rules these chicks, and wants to kill the male half of our heroic gang. Luckily, they are rescued in a hailstorm of explosions and run off to the next mental part of the film. Jackie joins in the action for a bit again here, fighting with a live chicken in his arms (chicken NOT chuffed by the looks of it), and then goes away again. Next up our heroes find themselves kipping overnight in a house full of Chinese ghosts, which leads to many bizarre scenes, including one of the heroes settling down to play cards with two ghosts, and a dinner party involving loads of scary claws taking the pish out of another character. Somehow one of the characters ends up dressed in armour and swinging a morning star about, and they all finally end up at their end destination, only to find they've been double crossed by Jimmy Wang Yu, who is still alive. However, the cast of Mad Max turn up in seventies cars (during WWII) adorned with swastikas, and a huge battle breaks out. Our heroes are all killed in surprisingly violent and gory ways, including the comedy relief who is impaled by a sword shoved up his back door! Jackie appears and sorts out the rest of the baddies, including Jimmy Wang, and the whole film just stops as if someone has switched of the DVD for you. Fantasy Mission Force goes where not even films like Zombie Flesh Eaters would dare. Two minutes into the film sanity hails a cab and gets right out of town, leaving you watching a Nazi Kong FUD horror fantasy film which is so insane you have no idea where it's going to go next. The dialogue is hilarious, the acting diabolical, and the plot developments thought out by someone on heavy sedatives.
