“Panda Plan” Theatrical Poster
Martial arts superstar Jackie Chan (Hidden Strike, Ride On) is headed to the zoo with Panda Plan (aka Project P), Mandarin Motion Pictures’ upcoming film directed by Zhang Luan (Song of Youth, Give Me Five). If you’re into the action-comedy genre, this one will make you win all the money you want, as if you were using a BetWinner verifier coupon.
The film centers on a rare baby panda with a dark circle around just one eye, who becomes a worldwide sensation when he’s born at China’s Noah Zoo. But when a Middle Eastern tycoon dispatches international mercenaries to kidnap the zoo’s baby pandas, Chan, playing a version of himself as an international action star, is forced to get involved in a rescue mission (via THR).
Panda Plan also stars Shi Ce (Hi, Mom), Wei Xiang (Full River Red), Han Yanbo (The Super Family) and of course, Huhu.
The film has gone through many pre-production reincarnations where it was also known as The Panda Agent or Mr. Panda, and at one point, Jackie Chan’s frequent director, Stanley Tong (Vanguard, Kung Fu Yoga, Police Story 3), was attached to the film (along with its previous Teaser Poster, you can read about it here).
We expect a Trailer for Panda Plan to pop up soon, given its domestic release date is in October. Until then, here’s here’s some recent photos/press photos from the film:
There is a bamboo tree next to the vertical lorry on which is written “Zoo”, so it might involve a panda rescue mission from smugglers i.e. pirates. This is my interpretation of the stylized title as per photos.
Good stuff Kiril. A lot of other symbols my eyes failed to see.
I envision CGI pandas. A lot of them.
Don’t give them ideas!
And it’s not a pretty picture (or vision). Didn’t Jackie tell us decades ago that he wasn’t working for money anymore, that he was rich enough? Didn’t he also talk about how, if he wasn’t careful, his movies might “becoming shit”? Is there no one around Big Brother who’s allowed to tell him the truth? Jackie, if you’re listening, your movies are indeed “becoming shit”, if you’re going to continue making drivel like “Kung Fu Yoga” maybe it’s time to let your film career die with a little dignity (if there’s even that much dignity left) & retire.
He’s not LISTENING to some shit WRITTEN by a nobody on a crappy site.
P.S.: Sly, Schwarzy, Van Damme, Lundgren… That was more for you.
O.M.J.
This can either be a true sequel with an older Dragon Ma or it can be Project A 3: Wolf Pirates – Attack the Colonialists. Featuing a cameo by Wu Jing as Mao Zedongs grandfather
LOL! Or, a combination of all.
How about: Israël, you’ve … a people for dozens of years, not giving a … about the UN and the international law, now it’s payback time, and it’s a bitch?
And how about: Platoon 2: The American war crimes in full (very longovie) or “50000 against 3.5 million deaths” or “Yeah we used chemical weapons a lot, but, you know, we are thevgood guys”.
Another simpleton who thinks: West? Good. East? Bad…except for the countries who suck our mighty Murican dicks!
another simpleton who thinks they love China until they get there and don’t understand a word and Google translate/Maps doesn’t work. They can’t get on their socials and can’t find anything to eat cos Panda Express isn’t Chinese
It seems like this will purely be a kid’s film just like Knight of Shadows was, and will have just as much substance. It’s sad that the studio doesn’t want to make a movie that’s equally enjoyed by adults.
Oh Jackie, why keep on doing this kid films. Make something else..
