From kung fu superstar to 'box office poison', Brother Jackie Chan's journey on screen has seen its lows. In recent years, many of his works have faced failures: The 2024 film (Legend) had an investment of 360 million, but only earned 79.9 million, suffering a loss of over 300 million, with a dismal Douban rating; the Hollywood sequel (Kung Fu Dream 2) only earned 6060 dollars on its first day in Hong Kong, and fell to 2700 dollars the next day. Although it earned 85.88 million globally, it only made 670,000 dollars in mainland China, and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 58% left fans heartbroken. At 71 years old, Brother Dragon is nearing the end of his career, with his reputation plummeting—transitioning from 'King of Action' to 'Shoddy Film Producer', this transformation...
The turning point came suddenly, yet precisely like a scalpel. In August 2025, (Catching the Wind and Chasing Shadows) makes a strong debut, directed by Yang Zi, collaborating with Zhang Zifeng and Tony Leung to create a high-tech police and thief chase drama. The story hits current hotspots: a gang of genius thieves steals 1.5 billion dollars in cryptocurrency from a virtual bank, playing tricks on the police's 'eye in the sky' system with super strong counter-surveillance skills. The Macao police are helpless, calling back retired veteran Huang Dezhong (played by Jackie Chan), who reorganizes the 'mysterious tracking team', battling wits and courage, ultimately capturing the behind-the-scenes wolf king Fu Longsheng (played by Tony Leung). The explosion scenes are explosive, parkour and costume changes are dazzling, and Jackie Chan's close combat remains hardcore—locking the villain in the washing machine part, where humor and adrenaline soar together!
This is not a simple action movie, but a brilliant reversal borrowing from the theme of cryptography. The film explores the double-edged sword of AI surveillance and cryptocurrency: as technology advances, crime becomes more cunning, and under the transparency of personal information, property security is in jeopardy. The first-day box office was 63.89 million, breaking 658 million in a month, and it soared to 8.2 on Douban—Jackie Chan's best in ten years! Audiences rave: 'Finally not bad! Dragon Brother shows the shadow of his youth.' Players in the crypto circle are even more excited: isn't this just our daily life—hackers invading wallets, the eye in the sky tracking DeFi? Tony Leung's 'Crazy Wolf' Fu Longsheng is a vivid portrayal of a big shot in the crypto circle crashing and burning, and the part where the tiger eats its cubs subtly satirizes internal strife among project parties.
On the wind, Dragon Brother's charm remains undiminished. In November, the crypto circle exploded: rumors spread that Netflix is filming (crypto tycoon), with Jackie Chan playing Binance founder CZ (Changpeng Zhao)! The teaser posters are flying everywhere, and the plot is wildly imaginative—from the rise of the crypto circle to legal storms, then to a comeback. Although CZ quickly refuted: 'It's fake, I'm 71 years old, let him rest!' this wave of enthusiasm proves: Jackie Chan + crypto = traffic password. If fake news can go viral, if a real project comes, Binance Square will boil! Dragon Brother not only turns the tide but also reshapes the legend in the blockchain wave—from the bottom of the box office to cultural output, who says Kung Fu can't be on-chain?
Crypto circle brothers, charge (Catching the Wind and Chasing Shadows) relive Dragon Brother's masterpiece, and wait for the next crypto blockbuster! #JackieChan #CatchingTheWindAndChasingShadows #Cryptocurrency #BlockchainMovie #CZ
