Movies that feel likeArmour of God (1986)

After an adventurer known as the Asian Hawk steals a mysterious sword known to be a piece of the Armour of God, a magical suit of armour that dates back to the Crusades, a cult of Satanic monks kidnap his ex-girlfriend and demand he turn over the sword and recover the rest of the armour.

If you loved Armour of God, the closest films we have are Project A (1983), Who Am I? (1998) and Police Story (1985). All three share Armour of God's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Prodigal Son (1981).
