“They could be in disguise – don’t let anyone slip by!” CMC Pictures has debuted a second trailer for the action thriller from China titled The Shadow’s Edge, which is already playing in theaters (including in the US) as of a few weeks ago. This is the second film Jackie Chan has made with filmmaker Larry Yang after also working on Ride On (2023) together previously. “Trust collapses. Truth twists. No one’s identity is safe. The hunt is on — step by step, move by move.” The legend returns — Jackie Chan is back on the front line, facing off against criminal mastermind (Leung Ka Fai Tony) and his elite “Wolf Pack” in a full-throttle war of shadows and strategy. Lots of trickery going on. Also starring Zhang Zi Feng, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Ci Sha, Jun, and Zhou Zheng Jie. This is a much better trailer this time around, compared to the first one which didn’t feature as much action footage. This new international trailer also features a hilarious English dub voiceover, which is quite unnecessary, along with a boat load of violence. Really selling it! Have a look.

Here’s the second international trailer for Larry Yang’s film The Shadow’s Edge, direct from YouTube:

The cunning and treacherous thieves challenged the Macau Judiciary Police in multiple dimensions. The Judiciary Police, which was in a tough battle, invited back the tracking expert Huang De Zhong who had retired for many years to join forces with the young elite of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Judiciary Police. Under the collision of traditional tracking techniques and high technology, the police and the criminals fought wits and courage, and launched a cat-and-mouse game-like duel between good and evil. The Shadow’s Edge, originally known as 捕风追影 or Bu Feng Zhui Ying in Mandarin, is written and directed by Chinese filmmaker Larry Yang, director of the films Sorry I Love You, Mountain Cry, Another Shot, and Adoring previously, as well as Ride On also with Jackie Chan. Produced by Victoria Hon. This will open in theaters in China starting this week. CMC Pictures will also debut Larry Yang’s The Shadow’s Edge in select US & Canadian theaters starting on August 22nd, 2025 this summer. Who wants to watch this?

Jackie Chan Back on Top:

Jackie Chan has once again proven his enduring star power. His latest thriller, The Shadow’s Edge (produced by iQIYI Pictures), stayed at No. 1 at the China box office for a second weekend, pulling in RMB189.1 million ($26.3 million). That brings its cumulative total to an impressive RMB878 million ($121.9 million), according to Artisan Gateway.

The film not only dominated locally but also topped the global chart, as confirmed by Comscore.

What Is The Shadow’s Edge About?

Directed by Larry Yang, the thriller casts Jackie Chan as Wong Tak-Chung, a retired Macau surveillance expert drawn back into the field to investigate a high-tech heist.

Teaming up with rookie cop He Qiuguo (Zhang Zifeng), Wong faces off against criminal mastermind Fu Longsheng, played by Tony Leung Ka-fai. Together, they must dismantle a gang that threatens the fragile balance of Macau’s underworld.

The film blends Chan’s iconic presence with sleek crime-thriller storytelling, proving that he remains as relevant to action cinema today as ever.

Box Office Competition:

The weekend box office in China was stacked with major titles, yet The Shadow’s Edge held its ground.

Nobody (Shanghai Animation Film): $15.2 million, cumulative $202.1 million.

Dead to Rights (China Film): $8.2 million, cumulative $401.4 million.

I Swear (Taopiaopiao): $7.4 million debut.

Final Destination: Bloodlines (New Line): $4.5 million, cumulative $18.1 million.

In total, weekend receipts reached $76.4 million, pushing China’s 2025 year-to-date box office tally to $5.457 billion, up 18.4% from the same period last year.

Why Does It Matter?

At 71, Jackie Chan continues to prove his global box office appeal. The Shadow’s Edge is not only a local hit but also a global chart-topper, reaffirming Chan’s ability to headline large-scale action films.

With strong competition on the charts and still maintaining its number one position, the film highlights both Chan’s adaptability and his long-standing influence in cinema. For audiences worldwide, it serves as a reminder that Jackie Chan remains one of the most bankable and iconic stars in the industry.
