| Based on the Jules Verne novel and set during the industrial Revolution. But unlike the version that starred David Niven as intrepid adventurer Phileas Fogg, the emphasis in this film shifts to Chan's Passepartout character, who, after stealing a valuable jade Buddha, seeks refuge with London inventor Fogg. In the original, the crux of the story is Fogg's bet with members of his club that a man traverse the globe in 80 days. The revision has Passepartout teaching Fogg to open his mind to the different cultures he encounters en route to winning his bet. |
