Eastern Condors is a 1987 Hong Kong action war film starring and directed by Sammo Hung. The film co-stars Yuen Biao, Joyce Godenzi, Yuen Wah, Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Woo-ping, Corey Yuen and Billy Chow. The film was released in Hong Kong on 9 July 1987.

Production

The ensemble of convict soldiers in the film is reminiscent of similar squads in American action war films like The Dirty Dozen.

Hung believed his normal size and body shape, whilst suited to his comedic characters in his other films, would be inappropriate for a soldier. In order to get into shape for the lead role, Hung lost 30 pounds in 3 months by surviving on a diet of nothing but chicken, rice, and low salt soy sauce. Although set in Vietnam, most of the film was shot in the Philippines. The scenes set in the United States were actually filmed in Canada.
