Overview:
Jackie Chan returns to the Victorian England setting of Shanghai Knights for this comedic take on Jules Verne's much-loved adventure. The film follows the exploits of inventor Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan) and his valet, Passepartout (Chan), as they endeavour to circumnavigate the globe in record time to win a wager set by the villainous Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), the head of the Royal Academy of Science. Chan delivers his trademark martial arts rough and tumble along the way, but a redundant subplot involving a stolen jade Buddha only serves to slow the action down. The broad comedy is perhaps more suited to Chan's pratfalls than Coogan's wit, but their travels provide enough eye candy and big-name cameos (including Owen and Luke Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger) to help pass the time on this otherwise laboured journey.
