The Medallion
The Medallion (Chinese: 飛龍再生/免死金牌) is a 2003 buddy action comedy film directed by Hong Kong film director Gordon Chan, who also wrote the screenplay with Bennett Joshua Davlin, Bey Logan, Paul Wheeler, and Alfred Cheung, who also produced.
The film stars Jackie Chan, Lee Evans, Claire Forlani, and Julian Sands. It was much less successful than Chan's other American films such as the Rush Hour film series, Shanghai Noon, and its sequel, Shanghai Knights. The film was theatrically released on 15 August 2003 in Hong Kong and 22 August 2003 in the United States by TriStar Pictures. However, on the home media release, it was released by Screen Gems.
In the story, Eddie (Jackie Chan) is a Hong Kong police officer hired by Interpol to capture a crime lord known as Snakehead (Sands) and stop him from kidnapping a chosen boy with special powers and a medallion that gives superhuman power and immortality.
Much of the film features supernatural and mystical themes, though it is filled with action and comedy. The film received negative reviews from critics. Even though the film's United States box office result was strong enough for Sony/TriStar Pictures to make profit, the film performed poorly at the worldwide box-office, and only grossed $34.3 million in worldwide box office against $35‒41 million production budget.
Eddie Yang is a Hong Kong police inspector cooperating with Interpol in the capture of a crime lord named AJ "Snakehead" Staul. Snakehead procures an ancient book from a Chinese bookstore keeper, which tells the story of a boy chosen every thousand years to bind the two halves of a legendary medallion. In Hong Kong, Eddie and Interpol agent Arthur Watson led a raid to capture Snakehead and his men, who were about to kidnap the boy named Jai. Eddie and the agents fight off Snakehead's men, infiltrating the temple containing Jai. The agents save Jai, but Snakehead eludes them. Two weeks later, Snakehead captures Jai aboard a cargo boat in Hong Kong. Eddie and a team of Hong Kong police engage and defeat several of Snakehead's men, but some of them escape with Jai to Dublin, Ireland.
In Ireland, Eddie was assigned to help Interpol with the investigation, much to Watson's annoyance. Eddie also reunites with his girlfriend, Nicole James. By chance, Eddie later encounters and apprehends one of Snakehead's top men, who confesses that Jai got held in the harbor. Eddie, Watson, and Nicole move to rescue Jai, defeating several of Snakehead's men. Eddie and Jai end up trapped inside a container, which is then knocked into the water by one of Snakehead's men before they can be released. Eddie manages to keep Jai alive by finding an inflatable tent and securely putting Jai inside there, but Eddie suddenly dies from drowning. After being saved, Jai uses his medallion on Eddie's body.
In the morgue, Watson grieves over Eddie's body and prepares to say his last words, but Eddie appears beside him. Eddie finds out that Jai used the medallion to bring him back to life, and his former body vanishes into dust. Jai splits the medallion into its two halves, giving one of them to Eddie. Snakehead's men appear in the hospital to recapture Jai, and during the fight, Eddie discovers the medallion has also granted him superhuman strength and immortality.
Nicole looks after Jai, but he is captured again by one of Snakehead's men. At his castle hideout, Snakehead forces Jai to activate the medallion so he can gain its power with only one-half of it; Snakehead only gains superhuman strength and remains mortal. To steal the other half, Snakehead and his men attack Watson's family. Watson's Chinese wife reveals herself to be a police operative like him, much to Watson's surprise, as he kept his job secret from his family. Together, they fight off the attack from Snakehead's men.
