The first secret military operation code of the United States Department of Defense in 1987 -- Eastern Bald Eagle. The operation was carried out by Lieutenant Colonel Lin, who selected a group of Chinese serious criminals in a federal prison and offered them American residency and $200,000 each as compensation. After brief training, they formed a ragtag army responsible for the "openly repairing the栈道" part of the "Eastern Bald Eagle" operation, while the "secretly crossing the Chen仓" part was handled by Colonel Huang's elite Chinese forces. The "Eastern Bald Eagle" operation began on time, but God did not favor this action by the United States. In an air accident, the elite troops died before achieving victory, leaving Lieutenant Colonel Lin to lead the ragtag army to parachute into North Vietnam, cross the dangerous terrain, challenge death, and execute the "Eastern Bald Eagle" operation...
If you're a fan of Hong Kong films, such a grand and luxurious cast would surely catch your attention. This movie is a major self-directed and starred effort by Sammo Hung, almost gathering all the heavyweights of Hong Kong cinema at that time and now. Besides the star-studded cast, it also prominently featured Miss Hong Kong, Michelle Khan, maximizing its selling points. Due to cross-border filming, the investment was enormous, and the challenges encountered during filming were quite astonishing. At that time, a young Ching Gall was still a martial artist under Sammo Hung's team and nearly got burned to death in an accident on set, for which Sammo Hung felt very apologetic. When the film was released in Hong Kong, it faced competition from Chow Brothers' hero films, affecting its box office, but it still managed to gross over HK$22 million. Although Michelle Khan's efforts in the film didn't win over the audience, she won Sammo Hung's heart. They later developed a romantic relationship, became husband and wife, and wrote a beautiful story in the film industry.
