Martial-arts superstar Jackie Chan's final major action movie "Chinese Zodiac" has premiered in Beijing, before opening on screens across China in a week's time.
It's a story about finding treasure. Chan plays a hunter, who repatriates the last 4 missing heads of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The 12 animal bronze heads were taken from Beijing's Old Summer Palace by French and British forces during the Opium Wars.
Jackie Chan has dedicated a lot to the movie. He undertook 15 different roles in the film, including producing, directing, scriptwriting and acting. The Kung Fu star received two awards from the Guinness World Records for "Most Stunts by a Living Actor" and "Most Credits in One Movie".
Jackie Chan believes "Chinese Zodiac" will bring a lot of entertainment to audiences and is his best film in 10 years.
