"Railroad Tigers" was released in December 2016 and marked Jackie Chan's return to a more action-comedy oriented film reminiscent of his earlier work. Upon its release, the movie received mixed reviews: praised for its entertaining action sequences and Chan's charm, but criticized for a somewhat uneven tone and conventional plot. Initially, some viewers enjoyed its lighthearted approach to a historical wartime setting, while others felt it didn't live up to Chan's best films. Over the years, "Railroad Tigers" has garnered a modest fanbase who appreciate its blend of humor, martial arts, and heartfelt moments. While it hasn't achieved widespread cult status, it is often regarded as an underrated gem by fans of Jackie Chan and Chinese action cinema, appreciated for its unique setting and spirited performances, particularly Jackie Chan as Ma Yuan and Huang Zitao as Dahai.
