Martial Art star Jackie Chan has been adoring his fans for decades and continues to bring many great action stories to the silver screen. This time he is saving loveable animals for us to see and he includes all of his comedic action techniques. With the endangerment of the Giant Panda’s habitat, creating a place for these lovable stars is essential to keep them alive for generations to come. This adventure takes place at a location that does that and not just for the Panda’s but also many other endangered living things. 
This cute story is about Jackie (Jackie Chan) the international film star adopting a young panda, from the Noah Zoo, named Big Babe, who is one of the many Giant Pandas located in their new Panda experience exhibit. Here is where these beautiful creatures are cared for, nurtured, and raised to live a wonderful life in a habit built for them to flourish. When the Pandas worth becomes over a 100 million, a warlord will stop at nothing to find this panda and abduct it for his benefactor.
During the adoption ceremony at the park, Jackie and his friend David (Wei Xiang), find themselves in danger when the mercenary kidnappers assault the Zoo to get their prize. With help from the Panda caregiver (Shi Ce), Jackie’s true nature comes calling as he must try and save this baby Panda from being kidnapped by a ruthless mercenary and his team of warriors, and he also must figure out how to save his friends. 
Director and writer Luan Zhang’s love for wildlife shows in her production of this wonderful and entertaining story. She builds the narrative to include our famous hero so he can be the one who tries and saves HuHu, along with some of his friends. The special effects and choreography are fantastic and allows for excellent action and fighting scenes throughout. Of course all of Jackie’s fighting sequences include many funny antics that grab a giggle or two. Luan’s fun and enjoyable journey is filmed entirely in China and presented with subtitles (Mandarin) for most of the narrative but does present some broken English for a lot of the voyage.
Creating a habit for many of the world’s endangered species is an excellent goal to help save these beautiful mammals. Not all of what man does is to help the world’s creatures, but when we do get together and establish a safe place for these living beasts to survive and hopefully rebuild their population is very important to all of us. According to the World Wildlife Federation there are approximately 99 different species of animals that are listed on the endangered list, some are considered critically endangered.
This fun-loving action pack display definitely will keep you entertained knowing Jackie will come to the rescue, and he will guarantee to make you laugh along the way. An event for the whole family that will give you a great night out and certainly feel it was worth the time you all spent together.
