The Medallion is an action comedy starring Jackie Chan with Lee Evans, Claire Forlani, and Julian Sands. It was released in 2003 and was much less successful than Chan's other North American vehicles of the Rush Hour series, Shanghai Noon, and Shanghai Knights.
Chan stars as Eddie, a cop from Hong Kong who is transformed into an immortal warrior with superhuman powers after a fatal accident involving a mysterious medallion. Eddie enlists the help of British Interpol agent Nicole (Claire Forlani) to determine the secret of the medallion and thwart the villain Snakehead's (Julian Sands) plans to abuse the medallion's magical powers.
