Eddie, an indomitable Hong Kong detective, suffers a fatal accident involving a mysterious medallion and is transformed into an immortal warrior with superhuman powers. Eddie enlists the help of British Interpol agent Nicole to determine the secret of the medallion and face down the evil Snakehead who wants to use its magical powers for his own nefarious plans.
The Medallion is an honest machine for making money, a meritorious entrepreneurial model.

So cheesy and cheap that it almost attains high camp.

With smooth, energetic direction by Gordon Chan and a love interest in the beautiful Claire Forlani, The Medallion shapes up as one of Jackie Chan's best American films.
If writers think that they have to give Jackie Chan superpowers and special effects in order for him to do amazing things, they clearly have no idea who they're writing for.
Chan's normally homegrown stuntwork is replaced by a lot of wire fighting and special effects.

For Jackie Chan... the moment of truth may have finally come. Nearly 50... the undeniably engaging star may be near the end of his shelf life as an action figure.

Probably the worst Jackie Chan vehicle to come around in his career...
