    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Jackie Chan set a Guinness World Record in this movie for "Most Credits in One Movie". Chan carried out fifteen of the major creative moviemaking roles for this movie, including Director, Producer, Actor, Fight Choreographer, and Composer, breaking the previous record of eleven credits held by Robert Rodriguez.
    • Goofs
      After Jackie has obtained the Bronze Dragon mid free fall, he proceeds to place it in a silver bag. The following shot then shows the Bronze Dragon and the black netting bag in the possession of Vulture (Alaa Safi).
    • Quotes

      Lawrence Morgan: It's one million euros each, and if he gets us the dragon as well, I'll add another zero.

    • Alternate versions
      The International Version featuring an English dub is shortened to 1h 49 min, has several streamlining and reshuffling of scenes, lacks the "lost in translation" part for obvious reasons as well as features an entirely different end credit with Jackie Chan outtakes from previous movies.

    Great movie. Just shut off your brain and enjoy it.
    This is the type of Jackie Chan movie which you just need to relax and don't think too hard about the plot. It's a fun adventures movie that has the nostalgic feel of his past Armor of God films.

    The movie itself is quirky and just overall fun. It is a nod to his past films with the overacting and weird dialogue. It reminds me of his late 80's-90's stuff. CZ12 is a modern version of those films.

    The plot itself is quite interesting and it was hard to follow at first but as the story progressed, it made sense. All in all, the film is a modern and updated version of his past Armor of God movies. This is for today's generation who have not seen his earlier work. Older fans might be disappointed if they expect it to be like his older work. Remember, just take off your nostalgia glasses and enjoy for what it's worth.
