    This is one of Chan's worsed movies. There is alot of action that is not like Chan's usaul fighting style.

    I rate this title on for age 11 and give it 4.0

    Hmmmm, I was just about to say this film should have been rated PG, but the fact that Eddie Yang (Jackie Chan's character) was murdered makes it a little different. There's nothing particularly offensive about The Medallion, but it is kind of violent. I don't understand why so many people hate this movie, it's not that bad, just a little childish, but who cares, don't we like that every once in a while?

    I rate this title off for age 13 and give it 1.0

    A shame to see Jackie's talents go to waste like this!
