Jackie Chan has been in the film industry for more than 40 years and has a huge influence. He is the big brother in the eyes of countless stars. Therefore, in Jackie Chan's movies, he often sees guest appearances by many big-name celebrities.

Both Nicholas Tse and Edison Chen were once the best in the new generation of Hong Kong film circles. If it hadn't been for the "Yenzhaomen" incident, they would not have become enemies of the old and the dead.

In 2003, their careers were also booming, so they appeared in Jackie Chan's movie "The Rebirth of Flying Dragon" at the same time. The two only played the role of a waiter, Edison Chen didn't even have a line, just missed his face.

The film is directed by Chen Jiashang, and starring Jackie Chan, Lee Evans, Claire Flanney, Huang Qiusheng, and Zhong Liti.

This is a fantasy story.

The story originated from the record in a mysterious ancient book: In the fourth month of the year of the snake, a child will be selected to combine the two holy cards into one. When the selected child touches the holy card, it will bring people back to life, and the reborn person will have superpowers.

Aidi Yang (Jackie Chan) is a Hong Kong policeman. He also has a partner, Watson, who is a British policeman.

It's just that this partner is a little cautious and self-righteous. Of course, those who are self-righteous will always make mistakes in the characters, so this Watson is actually a funny comparison.

The two hunted down the head of the International Human Snake Group once, and found that the other's target was a Chinese child jai.

It turns out that this child is a messenger chosen by God, who can bring the dead back to life by combining the two holy cards into one.

So under the roundup of Yang Aidi and others, the snake head returned without success.

But Snakehead also has Li Si, played by Huang Qiusheng, who quietly kidnapped Jai and tied him to Ireland.

Aidi Yang came to Ireland and met his ex-girlfriend Nicole.

Under the arrangement of the superiors, Nicole, Yang Aidi, and Watson cooperated to catch the snake head.

But Watson, who has a small belly and chicken intestines, is unwilling to cooperate with Yang Aidi.

So Nicole and Eddie Yang came to Watson's house, and Mrs. Watson, played by Liti Chung, welcomed them warmly.

But in fact, Watson has been concealing the fact that he is a policeman, only lying that he is a librarian.

After the three people negotiated in code words, they finally reached a consensus on cooperation.

After discovering the whereabouts of the snake's head, the three of them came to the dock.

After a fierce fight, Aidi Yang and Jai were trapped in the container and thrown into the water by the other party.

When the container was salvaged, Aidi Yang died.

But under Jai's spellcasting, Eddie Yang was reborn, immortal, invulnerable, and superpowers.

Such a powerful Yang Aidi fled in the hospital after the arrest of Jai's people.

There is also a segment of Yang Aidi in order to prove his superpower and let Watson beat him up, which is quite funny.

Nicole took jai to her home, and Yang Aidi showed off his super power to come to Nicole's house.

But the snake head still didn't give up, and it struck again in a big way, this time taking jai away.

Snakehead gained immortality and superpowers through jai, and directly knocked Aidi Yang into a stun when attacking Watson's home.

During this period, the two had a super power showdown, and the scene of Feiyanzoubi was well filmed.

Yang Aidi led everyone to the snakehead's den, and Nicole was killed by the snakehead in the fight.

When justice may be late, it is never absent.

Yang Aidi once again had a super power showdown with Snakehead.

After that, Yang Aidi used the holy card to summon the gods and locked the snake head in the holy card.

After that, Aidi Yang resurrected Nicole with the holy card. In the kiss between the two, the film ends.

The story of the film is not novel, and the partner Watson is completely gagging. Because of the success of "Rush Hour", the film wanted to arrange for Jackie Chan a partner who was also chatty, but it was obvious that this was a failure.

However, Jackie Chan's action scenes are never lacking in funny, such as tying shoelaces and taking off pants during a fight. Such actions can only be seen in Jackie Chan's action scenes.

For people of a certain age, the special effects and production of old movies may not be as good as the current movies, but because of the feelings in it, we will often appreciate even the ordinary old movies with relish, because Those are the years we have passed away.
