 Artsandentertainment: 'The Medallion' is no medal winner
Chan, known for doing many of his stunts and for his infectious style of physical comedy, is a little bit martial-arts superhero, a little bit mystically resurrected divinity in his latest vehicle, a haphazardly assembled comic thriller that suffers compared with his more inspired movies.
The medallion, which bestows more power on Yang than the suit did on Chan's character in last year's The Tuxedo, is being held by a boy in a Buddhist temple, where he sits on pillows, surrounded by dozens of candles.
Death in The Medallion is merely a prelude to a dramatic resurrection.

 'Medallion' needs more than Chan's antics to pump life into limp tale
Jackie Chan is cranking out movies at a frantic rate, almost as if -- now that he's only eight months shy of his 50th birthday -- he knows his days as an action star are limited and he wants to get in as much celluloid as he can while the getting is good.
Seems the child is a "chosen one" who possesses a medallion that is "the holy grail of Eastern mythology" and "the secret of eternal life." In the hands of the baddie, it will make him "a kind of god" who can, dare I say it, rule the world.
The plot gimmick is that Jackie is temporarily killed in the first act, and the medallion brings him back to life and gives him superpowers.

The Medallion is a mess from start to finish and it is a sorry day when a Chan film can not make me laugh and thrill me over the span of an hour an a half.
Image Transfer Review: The Medallion is presented in both a 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and a horribly cropped full-frame image.
The Medallion is not the worst Jackie Chan film to come along in the past twelve months as The Tuxedo was a much worse film in every aspect, but just because it is not the worst it is in no way recommended.

While "Rush Hour 2" was financed by Hollywood, "The Medallion" is backed by Hong Kong investors who hope the film will be a big leap forward for the local film industry.
Humor is always a feature of Chan's films and in "The Medallion" much of the comedy is generated by the star Chan and Evans, who improvised some of the scenes.
Though "The Medallion" was cheap to make by Hollywood standards, both Chans will be disappointed if the film bombs at the U.S. box office.

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Medallion
Some critics have been eager to point out in their reviews of "The Medallion" that, at 49 years old, martial arts superstar Jackie Chan is getting a little long in the tooth to be performing the same sort of daring stunts he once did on his own.
"The Medallion" doesn't make a lick of sense, but bear with me. Jackie Chan stars as Hong Kong investigator Eddie Yang, hot on the heels of a baddie called Snakehead (Julian Sands), who in turn is in hot pursuit of a sacred medallion that gives the possessor superhuman powers and immortality.
Trying to make heads or tails out of any of it will only leave the viewer with a headache, as it is doubtful even the filmmakers could explain their way out of some of the film's more heinously sloppy twists and inane developments.

 Review: Medallion, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
So, for The Medallion, Chan has resorted to the use of two things I thought I'd never see in association with him: CGI and a stunt-man. And those elements are all that's needed to make this movie seem like every other low-budget, run-of-the-mill action film out there.
All he has to do is to get his hands on a fabled medallion and the child who wields it.
In trying to save the kid, Eddie dies, but the medallion resurrects him with a few curious aftereffects - he now has superhuman powers and cannot be killed.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Medallion" review (2003) Gordon Chan, Jackie Chan, Claire Forlani
When Jackie Chan was in his low-budget, Hong Kong action-comedy prime, it was easy to forgive his better movies for simplistic plots and mediocre (sometimes downright bad) acting because enjoying them came down to two things: Chan's comedic charm and the dangerous, awe-inspiring, ingeniously choreographed fights and stunts that he always performed himself.
But "The Medallion," which is a Hong Kong production made with Hollywood money, feels like the return of good ol' cheesy, charismatic, pardonably haphazard Jackie Chan -- even if the daredevil actor has finally begun accepting the inevitable ravages of age and injury.
Relying this time out on wirework and CGI to pull off some of his crazier aerobatics and fisticuffs, Chan was smart enough to have a good reason built into the script: His character, a Hong Kong cop who tracks a master criminal (Julian Sands) to England, is killed in the first act.

When Eddie dies protecting the boy, the boy resurrects him with a magical medallion -- and when Eddie comes back, he's got supernatural powers, much to the befuddlement of his former partner, Arthur (Evans).
Chan has lost the astonishing elasticity of his youth, but he's still spry enough pull some dazzling moves, and Evans is just amazingly funny.
Between the two, The Medallion is far more entertaining than you might expect.

It is a run of the mill action adventure with some comedy thrown in, and doesn't come close to living up to the standard established by the "Rush Hour" movies.
Snakehead is on the trail of a young boy who has in his possession a medallion, which supposedly has the power to grant eternal life.
Later Eddie is killed but is revived by the medallion.

After tracking the wrongdoer down at a Buddhist temple, Yang discovers what Snakehead is after – a mysterious medallion bequeathed to a young boy.

Also, the name of the film was changed from "Highbinders" to "The Medallion." During the outtakes at the end credits in the movie, you'll see "Highbinders" on the clapboard.
