The action scenes are modest, and therefore easy to ignore when you're watching a scene where computer-generated hyenas attack underwhelming supporting cast members Zhang, Muqi, and their equally stiff co-star Amyra Dastur, who plays an assistant to Indian archaeologist Ashmita ( Disha Patani). It is so miscalculated that it briefly made me forget why I love Jackie Chan films. I can't tell a lie: 'Kung-Fu Yoga' is a stinker. A scuffle ensues, then a really dull auction for more treasure, then he drives a car with a computer-generated lion in it, and then the rest of the movie keeps right on happening. Chan wants to make history come alive(!) so he lectures us multiple times(!!) after an equally boring '300'-style battle sequence that pits ferocious Indian soldiers riding elephants against ingenious killing machine Chinese soldiers. Along the way, Jack's group gets attacked by Randall (Sonu Snood), a descendant of the treasure trove's owners. But conflict only ensues 40 minutes later, after Jack bores us to tears with a multi-part history lesson about the treasure's past.

So, after enlisting the help of his teaching assistants Zhu (Yixing Zhang) and Nuomin (Miya Muqi), Jack inevitably embarks on a quest to dig up buried treasure that takes him from Tibet's frozen tundras to Dubai's urban sprawl.

Like Indiana Jones before him, Jack insists that everything valuable belongs to the world/a museum. Chan plays Jack, a well-respected university professor who specializes in Chinese/Indian history.
