Action movie car chase ensues and the turncoat is forgiven without so much as a lecture. Fortunately Professor Chan and company manage to escape the cave, track down their turncoat, and get the macguffin back, but the villain appears again and this time manages to successfully steal the macguffin. Instead of calling for help for the rest of the team, he takes the macguffin for himself to sell in an auction. When they reach their first goal the villain appears, steals the macguffin that’ll lead them to the real treasure, and leaves Professor Chan and company to die in a frozen underground cave.Īctually, it’s one of Professor Chan’s side-kicks who manages to steal the macguffin and escape. Professor Chan gathers his team of also really pretty side-kicks and goes off to find the lost treasure. It turns out that the opening narration over CGI opening was our main character, Professor Jack Chan (played by Jackie Chan), giving a history lecture to his students, most of whom are a sleep in the lecture hall because that’s just what millennials do, even though your professor is the “greatest archaeologist in China”.ĭrawn by his fame the young and very very pretty Professor Ashmita from India approaches Professor Chan with a map to a lost treasure.
The subtitles for the CGI opening were two fast for me to read so my brain short-cut it to “Journey to the West reference, lost treasure, this movie is Chinese/Indian collaboration, and our bad-guy is Hindi.” That’s pretty much all you need to know. It’s also Jackie Chan’s highest grossing film in China apparently. If it were a video game, the CGI would have been passable, but alas… The opening to the film looks like an executive producer saw the LoTR battle with the giant elephants and said, “I want that!” but only had a quarter of the budget. From this point on there will be spoilers: This is a terrible, terrible movie, but my friends and I had a lot of fun watching it. Kung Fu Yoga is the unholy fusion of Hong Kung film, meets Bollywood, meets Indiana Jones with questionable CGI effects. I canceled my Netflix streaming a while back because it started to feel more like the $5 bargain bin.
There are a ton of movie review/first viewing youtube channels, blogs and websites so this will probably only be a one-off thing, but I just watched Kung Fu Yoga (2017) because my new friends and I spent 20 minutes arguing what to watch on Netflix.
