At the end of the 19th century, Fogg, a nerd scientist obsessed with invention, firmly believed that science and technology were the primary productive forces and that machinery was the future of mankind. Liu Xing, a kung fu master from China, stole the stolen Jade Buddha from his hometown in the Bank of England in order to avoid hunting down the servant who pretended to be Fogg. In order to return home, Liu Xing urged Fogg to accept the bet from the dean of the Royal Academy of Sciences who was unkind to travel around the world in 80 days. For this reason, Fogg stupidly overwhelmed his wealth and future. After a frustrated female painter Roche joined, the three began a big adventure. In Turkey, he escaped from the prince's pursuit, in India, he escaped from the soldiers' pursuit, and after a Chinese misunderstanding, he narrowly beat a group of soldiers and parted ways. After reuniting in New York, the trio once again defeated the interception and boarded the steamship. At the last moment, Fogg made a plane to London and won the bet with the help of the queen.
Steve Coogan is not a big fan, but his acting skills are not bad. The image of a nerd scientist is very good, especially in the begging period. The front teeth of Sisi de France left a deep impression on me. As for Jackie Chan, needless to say, after he went to Hollywood, the scene was basically fixed, and a tolerant Chinese could fight. There are many supporting roles, Schwarzenegger’s Turkish prince, Karen Mok, Daniel Wu, Sammo Hung, Maggie Q and many members of the married class.
Verne’s novel is adapted from the original, which tends to introduce the customs and customs of various countries, but the film has basically become a kung fu show. At the beginning, I exaggerated Fogg's invention ability, and finally made a primitive airplane. I thought it was high-tech. It's that China's scenery is doing well, and the rest is basically a glimpse of light, passing by.
Not bad casual film.
