The Medallion (Chinese: 飛龍再生/免死金牌) is a 2003 buddy action comedy film directed by Hong Kong film director Gordon Chan, who also wrote the screenplay with Bennett Joshua Davlin, Bey Logan, Paul Wheeler, and Alfred Cheung, who also produced.

[4] The film stars Jackie Chan, Lee Evans, Claire Forlani, and Julian Sands.

In the story, Eddie (Jackie Chan) is a Hong Kong police officer hired by Interpol to capture a crime lord known as Snakehead (Sands) and stop him from kidnapping a chosen boy with special powers and a medallion that gives superhuman power and immortality.

Even though the film's United States box office result was strong enough for Sony/TriStar Pictures to make profit,[5][6] the film performed poorly at the worldwide box-office, and only grossed $34.3 million in worldwide box office against $35‒41 million production budget.

Eddie Yang is a Hong Kong police inspector cooperating with Interpol in the capture of a crime lord named AJ "Snakehead" Staul.

Snakehead procures an ancient book from a Chinese bookstore keeper, which tells the story of a boy chosen every thousand years to bind the two halves of a legendary medallion.

In Hong Kong, Eddie and Interpol agent Arthur Watson led a raid to capture Snakehead and his men, who were about to kidnap the boy named Jai.

By chance, Eddie later encounters and apprehends one of Snakehead's top men, who confesses Jai gets held in the harbor.

Eddie and Jai end up trapped inside a container, which is knocked into the water by one of Snakehead's men before they can be released.

Snakehead's men appear in the hospital to recapture Jai, and during the fight, Eddie discovers the medallion has also granted him superhuman strength and immortality.

With a projected budget of $35 million, the film was at the time the most expensive Hong Kong production ever, making Bennett Joshua Davlin the highest paid screenwriter in Asia.

The plot of the film explained Snakehead's crime syndicate of human smuggling, the deaths that occurred from it, and his desire to create an army of Highbinders to aid his organization.
