Henchwomen Fight

In 2024 movie Panda Plan. Actress Aleksandra Smirnova plays as villainess Vivian. A Jackie Chan movie in 2024, so, what I expect is the movie will be fun to watch, Chinese artists have way more creative freedom and less censorship than western counterparts, so, at least I expect it to be fun to watch, at the same time, it's a Jackie Chan movie, so I can't help but to compare it to other masterpieces that Jackie gave to the cinema, so the bar is so high in such aspect, so, let's start the movie and see.

Damn, the movie have Arabs, and their Arabic is awful, but it's fun to watch, like there's an entertaining value when creators make actors try to speak Arabic, but while not speaking Arabic, they make it as how they think Arabic sound like, it require more talent than actually being able to speak Arabic, as they have to pretend and show emotion while saying things that actually mean nothing and they know it means nothing to them, it's harder than it seems, respect.

The movie starts with great stunt work, it's basically Jackie filming a movie in the movie.

Ok, I laughed, some of the blood squibs that Jackie wore from the movie scene burst in the face of the director LOL.

We see our villains around 18 minutes, god, this movie is awesome, it's so fun to watch. Like the villain stuck in his way to stealthy attacking the security LOL.

I can't get over the idea they made the Panda in CGI, like, it's possible to make it using practical effects especially that it's like a main character in the movie, like I know it's a plot tool, but still, it's better if you give me the illusion that I should care about the panda, but being CGI, it kind of make it irrelevant, especially if I can easily detect it. 

I'm sure Bassem Khayati is playing one of the villains in the movie, yet he's not mentioned anywhere, even in the credits.

Damn, 30 minutes in, and this movie is wholesome, like the fight scene between Jackie and Temur Mamisashvili who play Jameson in the movie is so fun.

Around 44 minutes, one of the heroes attacked some big villain and tried to take the gun from him, and he lifted him with the gun and fired in the air, I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂.

Around 56 minutes the heroine bit our villainess after Vivian went after her and the panda.

Around 59 minutes, the heroes tried to escape with the panda, and rode a lifter, and the villains went after them, and Vivian pinched the nipple of one of the heroes LOL.

The final fight starts around 1 hour 25 minutes, you can watch it here..

Damn, ending the movie with emotional theme..

The movie is way better than expected, like the premise of the story is incredibly stupid and doesn't make sense, for example, I don't think the panda is an animal someone would want to own, like, I think the Chinese government itself have a hard time to take care of it, so, whoever want to own it, would have to make as much efforts and even more to take care of it, but it really doesn't matter, the movie was fun, it's not made to overthink it, it's a fun entertaining movie made for fun and entertainment, and god, it delivers it, I wouldn't say it's of the best of what Jackie made, but the bar is so high that it's unfair to compare a 2020s movie with a Jackie's classic, but if you watch it as standalone movie, I promise you will have fun watching it.
