Panda Plan is a lighthearted Chinese action‑comedy film directed by Luan Zhang, starring Jackie Chan in a meta‑role as… himself. In a mix of slapstick humor and high‑stakes action, Jackie Chan is invited to adopt a rare baby panda named Hu Hu from a zoo. What starts as a public relations move quickly spirals into chaos when an international crime syndicate sets its sights on the adorable panda and launches a daring kidnapping scheme. Determined to protect Hu Hu, Jackie teams up with the panda’s very dedicated caretaker, Su Xiaozhu (played by Shi Ce), and his loyal agent David (Wei Xiang). The trio has to outsmart well‑armed mercenaries through a series of comedic action set-pieces, rescue missions, and classic Jackie Chan martial arts stunts. With explosions, chases, punches, and heartwarming moments, Panda Plan seamlessly blends action with family-friendly humor. The film frames Jackie’s character not just as an action hero but as a caring protector, using his signature style—humor, agility, and unexpected resourcefulness—to save the day. Although the movie caters to a younger audience, it doesn’t shy away from choreographed fight scenes and a genuine sense of danger. With its mix of animal rescue, martial arts, and goofy comedy, Panda Plan is a fun, feel-good adventure that highlights Jackie Chan’s enduring charm even at 70. ⏱ Runtime 99 minutes Wikipedia +2 Bingebase +2 👥 Cast Jackie Chan – Himself Wikipedia Wei Xiang – David Wikipedia Shi Ce – Su Xiaozhu Wikipedia Han Yanbo – Cha Kun Wikipedia Danny Ray – Harry Plex.tv Andy Friend – Director (in-film) Wikipedia 📅 Release Date China (Theatrical): 1 October 2024 Wikipedia Limited US Theatrical Release: 18 October 2024 Wellgo USA +1 Digital / DVD Release: 18 February 2025 DVD Release Dates +1 ⭐ Critical & Audience Reception Rotten Tomatoes: 43% approval from critics.
