AnotherJackie Chanaction flick is ready to make its way to your screen as the action star has recently wrapped filming for his latest project,The Shadow’s Edge. The movie reunites Chan with the talented Chinese director,Larry Yang,with whom he collaborated inRide On,an action-comedy about a washed-up stuntman and his stunt horse. The film released in 2023 was an international hit, especially within Asia, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film in Japan since 2022 and also setting records in Malaysia, ranking among the top three Chinese films in the country in 2023. Chan and Yang will be hoping to strike the same chord with audiences with their second collaborative effort, whichDeadline reportshas just wrapped filming in Macau.
The Shadow’s Edgesees Chan as a veteransurveillance expertfor the Macau Police Service who’s been asked out of retirement to help crack down on an elusive, violent criminal gang running rogue in the city. Though the police unit is already equipped with an elite team of young detectives, they will find themselves in need of some old tricks that Chan’s character will pass on. Theheist thrillerwill feature a thrilling showdown between traditional tracking techniques and state-of-the-art technology as the police and criminals lock horns in a fierce battle to outwit each other, setting the stage for an intense game of cat and mouse.
As expected from that plot,The Shadow’s Edgewill feature somehigh-intensity action sequencesand there will be lots of blood, judging by the first-look image above. In the behind-the-scenes image, Chan is seen sitting on the floor with the director, Yang crouching next to his side, both laughing probably at a failed take. The moment seems to have been caught in between filming a heavy action scene as Chan appears badly bruised and heavily blood-soaked.
