Picked this DVD up in the bargain bin for a few bucks.  Basic plot of this drama/comedy is a group of Chinese nobody civilians manage to destroy a critical bridge in Japan occupied China.  The 2016 movie was shot in northern China which I believe was the last steamer holdout.  You do see a lot of Jackie Chan, however he does not do those crazy stunts he did in his youth, rather more a father figure ringleader.

Lots of steam train actionm some real and a lot computer generated (but sure was hard to distinguish between which in some scenes.)  They built a 1/4 scale loco that was shot against blue screen so the backgrounds could be added. 

What was (for us more) fun were the bonus features of "how we did it" and director and actor commentaries   All spoken Mandarin, but there were English subtitles though for fun you could see them in Mandarin!

Anyone else seen this DVD?
