Legendary action superstar Jackie Chan has re-teamed with writer/director Larry Yang (Ride On) for The Shadow’s Edge (aka Catching the Wind and Chasing the Shadow).
The anticipated film also reunites Jackie with his Island on Fire and The Myth co-star, Tony Leung Ka-fai (League of Gods).
In The Shadow’s Edge, Jackie Chan stars as a retired surveillance expert from the Macau Police Service, who is rehired by the Police Force to collaborate with a team of elite young detectives to help capture a group of cunning thieves. In a tense confrontation between traditional tracking techniques and state-of-the-art technology, the police and criminals engage in a battle of wits, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse showdown between good and evil (via Deadline).
Other co-stars include Wen Junhui (My Mother, The Legend Is Born: Ip Man), Zhang Zifeng (Aftershock, High Forces), Ci Sha (Raging Havoc, Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms), Broňo Bajtala (100 Yards) and Lee Huang (Kung Fu Yoga).
Golden Network Asia has sold rights to the film to SPI International for Eastern Europe, ATV for Turkey, Great Movies for Latin America, Shanghai Pictures for Malaysia, Prima Cinema for Indonesia, Shaw Renters for Singapore, Eagle International for Taiwan, Abnormal Studios for Cambodia & Myanmar and Izagur Media for Mongolia. Negotiations are also underway for CIS, Ukraine, Benelux and other territories (via Deadline).
The Shadow’s Edge will be released domestically on August 16, 2025. As of yet, there there is no US distribution for the film, but you can bet that Well Go USA has their eyes on this one.
Watch the New Trailer below:
Curious how this will be. Although this should not be considered a reunion of that cyst of a movie! Lol
Chan and Ka-fai also starred in ‘The Myth’ together, another candidate for a “cyst of a movie”! 🙂
Hopefully this film features no pandas or horses
LOL, Most PoliceThrillers Don’t!
Trust no 1 where 21st century chan is concerned
LOL!
You mean Jackie won’t have a surprise cameo from a Panda who’s Jackie’s new partner 🤣🤣🤣

Quite a trailer. It finally occurred to Jackie to do something akin to Raging Fire and The Prosecutor. I suppose there won’t be any issue with the ultra violence as long as Jackie Chan plays a righteous cop and the message of the movie is “Don’t fuck with the Chinese police!”
“akin to Raging Fire and The Prosecutor”
I like those two movies, but this trailer makes ’em look like gentle films. It looks clearly darker, gorier,…
But it’s just a trailer. I’ll calmly wait for the whole movie.
