“Can this movie star really fight?” Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for a Chinese comedy called Panda Plan, arriving in US theaters this October. Yet another new martial arts action thriller from China featuring Jackie Chan – playing himself in this movie as an international superstar named Jackie who helps save a panda. The movie is about a rare 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 panda with a dark circle around only one eye who becomes a worldwide sensation (it’s clearly a CGI animal). The plot involves a rich tycoon from the Middle East who wants to try and steal the cute new panda – hiring a gang of mercenaries to raid the zoo and take the animal. But luckily Jackie Chan is on the scene and soon finds himself in the middle of the action trying to save the cute creature while fighting off the bad guys. The cast also includes Wei Xiang, Shi Ce, Han Yanbo, and Jia Bing. This looks absurdly cheesy and so fake from start to finish. Maybe someone will enjoy it? 🐼
