Combining the martial arts prowess of international action superstar Jackie Chan with state-of-the-art special effects, THE MEDALLION is an action comedy co-starring Lee Evans, Claire Forlani and Julian Sands. Chan stars as Eddie Yang, a resolute Hong Kong cop who suffers a near fatal accident while investigating a case involving a mysterious medallion. Eddie soon discovers that with the powerful medallion in his possession, he gains incredible speed, strength and skills – taking his martial arts abilities to a whole new level. Enlisting the help of British Interpol agent Nicole James (Claire Forlani), Eddie is determined to learn the secret of the medallion and face down the evil Snakehead (Julian Sands) who wants to use its awesome powers for his own nefarious plans. TriStar Pictures presents in association with Emperor Multimedia Group THE MEDALLION, starring Jackie Chan, Lee Evans, Claire Forlani and Julian Sands. The film is directed by Gordon Chan and produced by Alfred Cheung. Executive producers are Jackie Chan, Albert Yeung and Willie Chan. Bill Borden is co-executive producer. The screenplay is by Bennett Joshua Davlin, Alfred Cheung, Gordon Chan, Paul Wheeler and Bey Logan, and the Director of Photography is Arthur Wong. THE MEDALLION is scheduled to be released August 22, 2003. [More]

DVD Verdict

Chan is best when chasing someone or being chased and The Medallion is too much Jackie Chan the actor and not nearly enough Jackie Chan the action favorite.
