The preview just finished last night, and my social media feed is flooded. "Catching the Wind and Chasing Shadows" turns crypto elements into highlights; the ticket price is worth double.
As the audience left, a guy in the back mumbled, "When Jackie Chan signed with MetaMask, I got goosebumps."
Simply put, this film does three things no one has done before—it's the first domestic film to make crypto the main storyline, not just a backdrop.
Jackie Chan plays a police officer tracking down cross-border money laundering. A transfer of 30,000 USDT via MetaMask is a key clue; Zhang Zifeng writes down the mnemonic phrase on paper and hides it in her clothes, then directly sets it on fire in the next second, with the camera giving a close-up.
Technical details are fully packed; even seasoned veterans are convinced after watching. The main chain chosen is Ethereum, with flashbacks featuring BTC and Tron; all props are original equipment—Ledger devices appear, mnemonic phrases are in BIP39 format, K-lines are directly adjusted on TradingView, and even DAO multi-signatures follow the 2/3 rule in filming.
The review can pass because it defines cryptocurrencies as "tools," with the main theme still focused on catching the culprit. The Hong Kong co-production and overseas filming provided creative space; in the end, the police still catch the criminal, and the on-chain assets are also locked, so the values don’t deviate.
Tony Leung shines the most, playing the villain Zhao Chongwu, who hides a cold wallet at the bottom of a fish tank, locking a 200 million dollar DAO with his multi-signature. In a moment of desperation, he breaks the Ledger to force a showdown, fully embodying the mad genius vibe.
The Easter egg is also well hidden: the final block height is 20601723, corresponding to the ENS domain name "fengying2026.eth," indicating that a sequel is likely already in production.
Watch it as a cop-and-robber action film from outside the circle, but don’t bring newcomers inside; they might spoil the fun with explanations. As the old saying goes: technology is innocent, but human hearts have shadows; after enjoying, remember to keep your mnemonic phrase safe.
