[6][7] The film co-stars Kwon Sang-woo, Liao Fan, Zoe Zhang, Anna Yao and Laura Weissbecker.

[9] Chan also earned two Guinness World Records with the film for "Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor" and "Most Credits in One Movie".

JC is tasked by MP to find the remaining lost bronze heads, with a promise of a 10 million dollar bonus, if he can recover all of them, including the Dragon.

He visits Professor Guan, who had created 12 identical replicas for study purposes with his team of researchers, under the guise of a reporter named Martin from National Geographic.

JC scans the animal heads using special gloves so that his secret organisation can replicate an extremely realistic model of them.

At the boat house, Martin tells Coco that he is working for a secret corporation that is trying to recover all the lost relics for China.

JC and his team are invited to a castle owned by a lady named Catherine, unaware that the guards from the mansion are tailing them out of suspicion.

JC and his team find many treasures in the castle, including the bronze head of the Rooster, and hatch a series of plans to ferry them out.

The group are enraged when they find out that the supposedly-missing Dragon head was already at the hands of MP Corp all along, thereby making it impossible to claim the large bonus.

Coco and her fellow students' protests over the sale of the national treasures escalate quickly and capture worldwide attention.

Meanwhile, the Dragon bronze head is expected to fetch the highest price but no one bids for it due to increasing pressure from activist groups.

MP Corp, to teach these groups a lesson, threatens to throw the relic into an active volcano, calling the mission "Let the Dragon Fly", if no bids are received by noon the next day.

CZ12 was originally scheduled for release in U.S. theaters sometime in the summer of 2013 with about 20 minutes edited out by Jackie Chan himself in order to optimize the pace and content for North American audiences.

[25] The Hollywood Reporter also gave a negative review, noting the film's length and the lack of martial arts and stunts that star Chan is known for.
