<h1>2. Brosnan joins The King of Kung Fu vs. The King of Agents</h1>

In the movie "British Showdown", the opponent who fights with Jackie Chan must also be able to be equal to him. For this reason, director Martin Campbell chose Pierce Brosnan.

In the film, this wrinkled and scarred Jackie Chan caused countless viewers to feel sad, and at the same time applauded his attitude towards performance.

In addition, Jackie Chan temporarily gave up his comedic image from the film for decades, and instead created a sad character who was silent, had a bumpy life, and took up arms to avenge his daughter, paying more attention to the inner drama of forbearance and rich layers in performance. Jackie Chan does not want to be bound by a specific style, and his performance in "British Showdown" is the best proof, and Jackie Chan, who is now 63 years old, is still constantly breaking through himself and challenging fresh roles.

Although the film still retains the elements of action, but unlike the previous dragon-style humor kung fu, "British Showdown" pays more attention to the realism of action scenes, using a large number of close-quarters hand-to-hand combat to continuously stimulate the audience's senses.

However, Jackie Chan was hospitalized for surgery due to severe muscle decay during the filming of the film due to long-term shooting of highly dangerous action scenes without using a stand-in. But after the doctor told him to stop shooting martial arts scenes, Jackie Chan was still bent on filming the film and continued to play high-risk human flesh stunts himself.

<h1>7. Gather two magical classic actors to create an epic lineup</h1>

In addition to the two heroes of Jackie Chan and Brosnan, the tough guys in the East and west, and the strong joining of the national goddess Liu Tao, the audience can also find more familiar faces in "British Showdown". Liang Peishi made her debut as Chinese student Zhang Qiu in the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and then in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", she had a deep kiss with Harry Potter, and her appearance also attracted more Chinese fans for the "Harry Potter" series of movies.

Michael McElharton played Luce Burton in the TV series "Game of Thrones", he is mild-mannered in appearance, but ruthless and calculating, and killed the "Young Wolf Lord" Robb Stark at the Red Wedding, and his powerful acting skills have won the admiration of thousands of viewers.

<h1>8. Hollywood top production Strive to create the only international giant production in the National Day file</h1>

For a large number of explosion scenes in the film, the director insisted on using real explosions to achieve the effect of shocking and magnificent scenes. For example, in the film, on the Lambeth Bridge next to the British Parliament Building, a double-decker bus suddenly explodes, the fire is raging, and the billowing black smoke is scattered on the River Thames, and the visual effect of the grand scene has a shocking impact. In order to complete the filming of the live-action explosion at a landmark site in London, the crew submitted an application to the relevant authorities in advance and did not receive the filming permission until two months later.
