A 2017 Chinese action adventure comedy written and directed by Stanley Tong that has two professors (Jackie Chan and Disha Patani) teaming up to find treasure on adventure that takes them to different locations.
The movie also stars Aarif Rahman, Lay Zhang, Sonu Sood, Miya Muqi, Amyra Dastur, Eric Tsang, Zhang Guoli, and Eskindir Tesfay.
It was released on January 26, 2017.
Tropes for the film:
- Mystical India: Despite the movie being hyped up as a joint production between Indian and Chinese studios, ends up overdoing this trope that it makes the James Bond movie tame in comparison. Probably why the movie became a hit in China and flopped badly in India.
- Special Thanks: "Thanks to Andrea Krenn and very special thanks to Indian actor and producer Salman Khan and Tiger Shroff".
- Stealth Sequel: While it was never officially announced as a sequel, the movie appears to be one to The Myth, both movies starring Jackie Chan and directed by Stanley Tong. This is further supported by Chan's character in both films having the same name and profession, along with the presence of the painting of Princess Ok-soo in his office. In fact, Chan himself has stated that Kung Fu Yoga is basically The Myth 2.
- Sudden Musical Ending: The movie ends with a sudden Bollywood-esque Chinese song with both heroes and antagonists dance together along with Indian people.
