Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: The "Brief Nudity" Is a painted full frontal portrait of an unclothed woman. While not the direct focus of the scene it is quite obvious as it is close to 5ft tall hanging on a wall. This is around 25 minutes in the movie.
Also there is a somewhat immodest scene where a woman in leather boy-shorts is seen doing the splits and the words "Bikini tan line" come to mind so...
Violence & Gore: Bloody is seen on the nose, guy leg is seen snap, lot of the movie is martial art fighting so expect violence there.
Profanity: mild language
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: The wine seen being drunk
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some scene might seem disturbing but nothing major
Story: Asian Hawk (Jackie Chan) leads a mercenary team to recover several lost artifacts from the Old Summer Palace, the bronze heads of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals which was looted by foreigners in the 1800s. Assisted by a Chinese student and a Parisian lady, Hawk stops at nothing to accomplish the mission.
Likes : When viewing a Jackie Chan film you cant expect a serious film as most of dialogues is corny and the plot is borderline ridiculous but seriously funny & entertaining. But do you really go to a Jackie Chan movie for its story?
The stunts & some of the fight scenes in this movie are simply amazing as once again Jackie prove that you can use anything to fight with, i don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't watched it yet, but if you grew up watching Jackie's earlier films (80s and 90s), you're gonna be pleasantly reminded of his golden days. He's not as fast or as nimble, but it is still he's still got the spark to move fast, not surprised the guy hasn't crippled him self yet with doing he own stunt but fair play to him.
For me ive always loved Jackie Chan film not just because of his amazing martial arts but he comical side doing it, it that slap stick humor that make his film all that more entertaining.This is totally worth watch if you haven't watch it already, full of entertaining moments & great martial fights you cant go wrong.
Dislikes : Almost at the ending was a little ridiculous & unrealistic but apart from that this film is worth watching.
Overall : Brilliant fight scene, slap stick humor, all round great film
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.2 out of 10 for story-line / martial arts fights
