  This Chinese-Hong Kong action film is produced, written, directed by, and starring Jackie Chan. CZ12 (Chinese: 十二生肖), also known as Chinese Zodiac, is a pseudo-reboot of a film franchise that began with Armour of God (1987) and its sequel, Armour of God II: Operation Condor. I watched it yesterday in a full cinema and I am glad that with this film, Chan earned two Guinness World Records: "Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor" and "Most Credits in One Movie". I can say WOW to him... Jackie Chan is really a legend of the industry! I have to say that the weakest point of this movie is the story: begins by a man telling the story of the Old Summer Palace and how it was looted in the 1700s by the British in the Second opium war. Among the treasures are bronze heads of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals... In the present day, the bronze heads are auctioned for over a million euros each and the main company supplying the bronze heads and other stolen relics (MP Corporation) hires JC (Jackie Chan) to find the 12 bronze heads, with a promise of a huge reward if he can obtain the full set. On the other hand, this story was developed enough to support the action which was full throttle in 3D for most of the movie! Latest technology gadgets used were heaven for guys watching it (as well as the gorgeous actresses) and they were used in some of the most imaginative actions scenes I witnessed in my life. Chan wrote this script for seven years, and the film took a year and half to make. He said it was an important movie for him because it will be his last major action feature, although he insisted it is not the end of his action career. I enjoyed it... if you like JC don't miss it!
