This version is highly entertaining and with a twist, full of martial arts, spontaneous art scenes; will provide lots of laughs from young and old viewers alike.
Jackie Chan is Passport II who coincidentally drops into Phileas Fogg's (Steve Coogan) science experiment. The bank of England has been robbed. In avoiding police capture Passport II finds himself appropriately disguised as Fogg's assistant. While helping Fogg staking a permanent position as Inventor per Royal Academy's challenge, Passport II travels the world to China to return the missing Jade Buddha, needed to keep the village at peace. Along the way they gain more friends and enemies hot on their trails hindering Passport and Fogg from achieving their goals.
Not knowing of his friends' true intentions, Fogg decided to leave China alone then finds himself penniless in another country begging for food unsuccessfully. The days continue adding up as bets are placed while Fogg, Passport, and a lady friend are reunited once again. Together they borrowed pieces of a ship to build a flying machine, inspired by a dream to fly.
Journey with them around the world on a hot air balloon and visit Paris France. Ride a train to Istanbul to see Arnold Schwarzenegger play an instrument while his 6 wives dance for him. Dress like one of the Indian women to blend in with the crowd. What's your bet?
