He needs to get back to China as soon as possible, as the safety of his village depends on the return of the Buddha. He demands its return or he won’t help her military cause.īack at Fogg’s home, Lau Xing gets the lay of the land and claims to be named Passepartout. This distresses Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent) and General Fang (Karen Joy Morris), two parties involved with the Buddha. We soon see that the Jade Buddha was the subject of the robbery. He pretends to be a French valet to escape the bobbies. On the lam from the London police after he apparently robs the Bank of England, Lau Xing (Jackie Chan) lands in Fogg’s yard. Set “before the turn of the century”, inventor Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan) goes through valets quickly, mainly because he forces them to act as test subjects in his dangerous experiments. However, when the original remains neglected by modern audiences, why not? Such was the case with the 2004 take on Around the World in 80 Days, a reworking of the 1956 hit, itself based on a Jules Verne novel. Not too many folks remake movies that won the Best Picture Oscar.

With production costs of about $110 million and estimated marketing costs of $30 million, it earned $24 million at the U.S. For comedic reasons, the film intentionally deviated wildly from the novel and included a number of anachronistic elements. During the trip, he is accompanied by his Chinese valet, Passepartout (Chan). The film is set in the nineteenth century and centers on Phileas Fogg (Coogan), here reimagined as an eccentric inventor, and his efforts to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. It stars Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan and Cécile de France.
