The Tuxedo
Cabbie-turned-chauffeur Jimmy Tong learns there is really only one rule when you work for playboy millionaire Clark Devlin : Never touch Devlin's prized tuxedo. But when Devlin is temporarily put out of commission in an explosive accident, Jimmy puts on the tux and soon discovers that this extraordinary suit may be more black belt than black tie. Paired with a partner as inexperienced as he is, Jimmy becomes an unwitting secret agent.
Critics Sentiment
Jimmy encounters James Brown and dances with tuxedo's help
Heavily CGI and wire-assisted fight sequences begin
The film drops sharply from the beloved James Brown dance sequence to heavy criticism when wire-assisted action takes over, disappointing Jackie Chan fans who expected authentic stunts.
The Tuxedo receives mixed reviews that follow Jackie Chan's Hollywood struggles, with critics appreciating his charm and specific sequences like the James Brown dance but heavily criticizing the overuse of CGI and wires. The film starts promisingly with Chan's trademark humor and the supernatural tuxedo concept, but loses audience goodwill when it abandons authentic martial arts for special effects. While some found it entertainingly silly and suitable for families, most felt it wasted Chan's talents and featured a confused script with poor character development.
