Operation Condor stands out as a cosmopolitan action film by placing an Asian protagonist in a global setting. By moving the story across Hong Kong, Australia, and the United States, the film breaks away from the Western-centric homogeneity common in its time. However, the film sticks to the traditional formulas of 1990s genre cinema. It relies on established gender hierarchies and lacks any meaningful representation of LGBTQ+ identities or disability. While the film diversifies the action hero archetype through its international scope, it maintains a conventional approach to institutional authority and social roles.
