Trailer Watch: Jackie Chan Ushers In The Year Of The Rat With Action Adventure Vanguard

Yang Yang, Ai Lun, Mu Qimiya, Zhu Zhengting, and Xu Ruohan play his good-looking team members. Together, they are involved in a high-octane battle against mercenaries, with the action spanning from London to Zambia to Dubai.

Judging from the dialogue-free teaser, you don’t come to see Vanguard for political insight on the war of terror. You’re watching it for the eye-candy, exotic locations, the Fast & Furious vehicular mayhem and lots of rat-a-tat-tat action...geddit? Oh, never mind.

With Jackie teaming up with his Police Story III: Supercop and Rumble in the Bronx director Stanley Tong, let’s hope the movie delivers the goods and doesn't suck like his last CNY movie, The Knights of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang. (Then again, the duo also made The Myth and Kung Fu Yoga.) You owe us, Jackie!

Vanguard opens in cinemas Jan 25.
