Advantages: Some funny moments, its entertaining, range of actors used (both English & American) Disadvantages: Slightly slow in parts, a bit cheesy/predictable
as being his name when he spots policemen having found his passport I believe) (played by Jackie Chan), who he begs to let him come on this journey. The reason for this is because he happens to have stolen a valuable Jade Buddha from the Bank of England, though Fogg isn't made aware of this at the time and so Fogg and Passepartout is chased around the world by the English government. Of course there's a valid reason why Chan's character stole this Buddha, as often is the case in these type of movies he stars in, it turns out that the Buddha figurine had originally been stolen from his hometown in China and if it isn't returned to its rightful home, then it will face a bleak future. hence his reason to join Fogg, so he can return it when they reach China. The final member of the Fogg team, so to speak, is a French artist called Monique ...
Advantages: Theme tune, characters, and childhood memories Disadvantages: Only 5 episodes on DVD, animation is an acquired taste

Advantages: Quite funny, good family film Disadvantages: lacks something for more mature viewers
trying to prove his credentials to the science organisation in London he gets himself into a challenge, to navigate the world in 80 days. So with Passepartout at his side Fogg takes off around the world to prove its possible with the Director of the Academy?s chair as his ultimate goal.
It?s a premise for a film that does actually work. Of course this is a remake and not having seen the original or read Verne?s novel. This is a comedy for all the family but I imagine that with the amount of martial arts involved it?s quite removed from the original concept. As a comedy it works in the same way as Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon. The appeal of Chan?s comical martial arts performances, combined with Coogan?s ability to deliver some witty one liner?s does work reasonably well. There is however an overwhelming sense that this movie could have been ...
