Action Hero MoviesThe Medallion 2003 is another lighthearted slapstick action movie from Jackie Chan. This one has a mildly curious plot twist in the middle, when Jackie Chan comes back from the dead. It benefits from comedian Lee Evans, and Claire Forlani (from Meet Joe Black), as Jackie Chan’s partners in policework. There’s a bit of sci-fi fantasy here with this one. I rate it Bang Average so far as action hero movies go, because the characters aren’t deep and the action is so lighthearted. On the plus side, it’s mildly entertaining throughout. A young Scott Adkins plays one of the baddies’ goons in a few fight scenes here.
