The Tuxedo is anything but the typical Jackie Chan movie. For the... first time, Chan stars as a man who is, himself, completely inept at the kind of high-flying stunts that have set Chan's action films apart. Nevertheless, The Tuxedo does, in fact, showcase Chan doing the kind of moves that have delighted his fans for years, but here it could be said that it's a case of the clothes making the man. Chan stars as Jimmy Tong, an ordinary cab driver, whose abilities behind the wheel of his taxi land him a job as a chauffeur for Clark Devlin, a wealthy industrialist, whose real industry is working for the CSA as a secret agent. Devlin is put out of commission, but not before ordering Jimmy to put on his prized tuxedo. Jimmy soon learns that this is no ordinary suit, but rather, a state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar tux, with features that allow the wearer to do everything from punch and kick to sing and dance--features that can turn an ordinary cab driver into an extraordinary secret agent. Jackie Chan jumped at the opportunity to play a role that was such a departure from his usual onscreen persona. "It's the kind of part I've never done before, and that is what made me want to do the movie," Chan states. "The script was funny, and my character was interesting. I wasn't playing a policeman, just an ordinary person--a taxi driver who becomes a kind of super spy because of a tuxedo that lets him do all kinds of special things.
About a taxi driver becoming a driver for a... spy,Jackie chan made this movie, With the places he ended up because he protended to be spy.
