Jackie Chan's latest work "Shadows Edge" has recorded the number one box office ranking in China for four consecutive weeks, surpassing 1.2 billion yuan (about 250 billion yen) in about a month since its release, showing a fervent excitement. The Japanese release date has been decided for December 12 (Friday), with nationwide screenings including Shinjuku Wald 9. The Japanese version poster visual and trailer have been released. Additionally, a movie ticket card with a "three-fold photo card" will be released. The setting is Macau. Behind the glamorous city, an unidentified cybercrime group is secretly active. The police are helpless, and the last trump card called back is the tracking expert Huang Dezhong (Jackie Chan). Although he has already retired, he teams up with young elites and uses the latest technology and old-fashioned investigative techniques to chase the "shadow" of the crime group. The star is Jackie Chan, a legend in the action movie world who also shines in Hollywood. As a former Macau police tracking expert, he challenges the cybercrime group with a young detective team. The leader of the crime group, a former assassin known as "the Shadow," is played by Leon Lai, reuniting with Jackie for the first time in about 20 years since "THE MYTH." Among the core members of the crime group is Jun from the globally popular K-POP group SEVENTEEN, who takes on his first villain role and showcases stunning action. Other young Chinese stars include Chang Tzu-Feng from "Sister: Summer's Farewell" and Tu Sha, who are also featured. The director is Larry Yang, who teams up with Jackie again after "Ride On." The long-awaited Japanese version poster visual and trailer have been released. The poster visual depicts the police led by Jackie Chan's character Huang Dezhong confronting the cybercrime group led by Leon Lai's character, a former assassin known as "the Shadow," with the tagline "Break the Legend." Their expressions, as they hide and observe each other's movements around the corner, suggest an imminent fierce battle. The released trailer shows a series of clever and bold robbery incidents occurring in Macau due to the elusive cybercrime group, which has taken over the surveillance system, leaving the police helpless. They request the retired tracking expert Huang Dezhong (Jackie Chan) for assistance. He teaches the young detective team traditional investigative techniques like "seeing and remembering" and "recognizing features and connecting them instantly" as they chase the crime group. Meanwhile, the group led by the former assassin, known as "the Shadow," has a strong bond, saying, "We are with the boss," and possesses combat abilities that can outsmart the detectives with clever disguises. They skillfully evade police tracking using advanced computer technology. However, Huang Dezhong, who never gives up, reaches the leader of the crime group (Leon Lai), leading to an ultimate battle of wits that eventually turns into a direct confrontation of fists! The film features the ageless action of Jackie Chan and Leon Lai, who reunite after about 20 years, along with the sharp action of rising young actors like Jun and Tu Sha, who challenge Jackie. The legendary tracking expert and the legendary assassin face off in a fiery clash of justice and evil, with intense bonds on both sides. The film showcases a battle of wits filled with clever traps and deception, along with breathtaking action. The intense battles will engulf all viewers in a frenzy of excitement. The bonus is a special three-fold photo card designed with character cuts of Jackie Chan, Chang Tzu-Feng, Leon Lai, Tu Sha, and Jun. ■ Work Overview "Shadows Edge" December 12 (Friday), nationwide release including Shinjuku Wald 9 Director: Larry Yang Starring: Jackie Chan, Chang Tzu-Feng, Leon Lai, Tu Sha, Jun (SEVENTEEN) 2025 | Hong Kong, China | Mandarin | Original title: 捕風追影 | English title: THE SHADOW'S EDGE | Distributed by Clockworks (C) 2025 IQIYI PICTURES (BEIJING) CO., LTD.
