It's even a comedown from ROB-B-HOOD, which only came out a decade ago. Politics aside, Chinese Zodiac is an incredibly goofy film that lacks both the spirit and heart of Jackie's older movies. He wrote the script for this thing (as well as fulfilling about 14 other roles) and unsurprisingly the film throughout is full of anti-Western sentiment, particularly from a young and irritating Chinese girl who seems to be included merely to spew out continuous bile about how imperialism robbed China of much of its heritage. In recent years, Jackie has received plenty of criticism for being a mouthpiece for the communist Chinese government. Having just endured this ridiculous piece of international entertainment, I can only say that I wish they hadn't bothered. Chinese Zodiac is the long-delayed third instalment of Jackie Chan's 'Asian Hawk', following on from ARMOUR OF GOD and ARMOUR OF GOD II: OPERATION CONDOR.
