They infiltrate the hideout and secretly rescue Lorelei, unaware that the cult leaders have anticipated their arrival and brainwashed her to do their bidding.
As Alan and Lorelei make their escape, Jackie fends off against the cult members before discovering the Armour of God in a cave.
Before he gets a chance to take the armour, he encounters the Grand Wizard, who unleashes his four female assassins on the adventurer.
Jackie is then surrounded by the rest of the Grand Wizard's men, but he reveals a vest filled with sticks of dynamite under his jacket, threatening to blow himself up with the monastery.
Discarding the explosives, he runs for his life as the detonations cave in the monastery, burying the entire cult and the Armour of God.
In a daring move, Jackie does a base jump off the cave and lands on top of the balloon, ending the movie.
Armour of God was filmed on location in parts of what was then Yugoslavia: Zagreb (Dolac Central Market), Upper town, Trnje (near the then-unfinished building of Croatian Radio Television), Croatia, narrow corridors and the main gate of Motovun castle and Predjama Castle near Postojna, Slovenia.
During filming of the opening sequence, one scene called for Jackie Chan to jump from a wall to a tree branch.
His head hit a rock, cracking his skull and forcing a piece of bone up into his brain.
As a result, he now has a permanent hole in his head filled with a plastic plug and slight hearing loss in his right ear.
