    Watching The Medallion for the first time in my sickbed bc to this day it tickles me that a movie about Jackie Chan... Playing a guy who works with secret agents... Chasing Julian Sands... Who is a black market smuggler... Who wants a supernatural trinket that gives you powers... IS NOT A JCA MOVIE

    51 movies down in the Jackie Chan movie filmography found The Tuxedo and The Medallion hardest to rank. I enjoy them a lot but hard to put them anywhere near the top in context now.

    Fifty years ago the Medallion Theatre in Dallas held the first public test screening for "Jaws." The movie industry would never be the same.

    I saw Highlander 2 at half price night at the Medallion, when it was a dollar theater. My friend from high school and I went to see it when home from college because we liked the first one. The rest of the audience were unsupervised <13 kids. Terrible movie; A+ theatrical experience.

    “The Medallion” remains the only movie I’ve ever seen with noticeably bad background music.

    Jackie Chan has always been a favorite of mine, even before he became a household name .. his ability to mix action and comedy is unique in that he can take a scene that should be serious and have everyone laughing out loud, but that's just me. Never saw this movie before, I guess I must have been busy when it was released. Action, comedy, a great storyline .. the magic was not believable but even so, still worth the time... and then there was the bloopers at the end, a trademark for his…

    I think about this movie a lot. Like a lot,a lot. I think about this movie so much that I sometimes think that scenes in it are from other completely different movies. I think about how this movie feels like a Jackie Chan movie and yet it isn't and instead Jackie Chan did The Medallion instead.

    Reminded of that Jackie Chan movie The Medallion set in Dublin where aside from a cabbie and Neili 'the continuity Sharon Curley' Conroy, every character in Dublin is British (most of the film was shot in post-handover Hong Kong, HK docks as Dublin docks).

    Don't have the Medallion, and Magnificent Bodyguards isn't out yet. I have a soft spot for Fearless Hyena 2, as, while it's a bad Jackie movie, it's a good generic guy-in-fake-beard kung fu movie.

  • RalphRahal @RalphRahalTMDB reviews · Dec 17, 2024

    The Medallion is a fun, lighthearted action-comedy that’s perfect for a casual movie night with family or friends and a few beers. Jackie Chan’s signature charm and incredible stunt work shine, bringing energy and humor to the screen. The mix of mystical elements and classic action sequences keeps it entertaining, even if the story isn’t particularly deep or groundbreaking. Sure, some jokes fall flat, and the plot can feel a bit thin at times, but it’s the kind of movie you watch to relax and…

    Seeing Highlander 2 over college winter break with a friend from high school, on half-price night at the Medallion dollar theater in Dallas while surrounded by two or three score unsupervised preteens. Bad movie, but the kids bouncing all over the place was marvelous.

    Also on the way from 88 Films, a couple of Jackie Chan releases. They may persuade me on the re-release of The Big Brawl, depending on the new restoration, but The Medallion is a hard pass for me. Jackie's very worst film, IMO.

  • Sam Inglis @24fpsuk.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 29, 2023

    To be fair, Hidden Strike isn't Jackie's worst film, but that's only because The Medallion and The Iron Mask exist. Yep, this one's less impressive than Fantasy Mission Force; a film he only did as a favour to Jimmy Wang Yu.

  • JPV852 @JPV852TMDB reviews · Apr 26, 2021

    This action-fantasy-comedy has bad dialogue and a half-baked and uneven plot where even some Chan's martial arts/stuntwork isn't nearly enough to save it, and besides, half of the movie uses some shoddy special effects so his stunts aren't nearly as impressive. On the plus side, the movie is a reminder on Claire Forlani's beauty (acting was only so-so at best). The Medallion has so many hallmarks of the early 2000s style of filmmaking with the choppy editing and lame humor. 1.75/5
