In the action-packed 2007 film *Skiptrace*, Jackie Chan stars as Bennie Chan, a seasoned Hong Kong detective on a mission to take down the notorious crime boss known as the “Matador.” The story begins when Chan is investigating Victor Wong (Winston Chao), a businessman he believes is the Matador. Along the way, his partner Yung (Eric Tsang) is captured, and in a heroic act of self-sacrifice, Yung gives his watch to Chan as a reminder of their partnership.
Fast forward nine years, and Yung’s daughter, Samantha (Fan Bingbing), finds herself tangled in trouble with Wong’s dangerous crime syndicate. In order to save her, Chan must track down Connor Watts (Johnny Knoxville), an American conman who has gambled his way through Chinese casinos after being banned in the U.S. Connor holds crucial information, as he was a witness to the murder of a woman named Esther Yee in Wong’s casino in Macau. Chan’s task is complicated when Connor is kidnapped by a Russian kingpin who wants revenge for Connor’s actions that led to his daughter’s pregnancy.
After a daring rescue from the Russian kidnappers, Chan and Connor find themselves on the run. Their journey takes them from Hong Kong to the harsh wilderness of Inner Mongolia. Along the way, they help a Mongolian boy and stumble upon a village where a wrestling match takes place. Despite facing a fierce Mongolian wrestler, Chan struggles to win until the boy intervenes, stopping the fight and gaining the villagers’ respect.
The villagers, impressed by Chan and Connor’s help, hold a celebration in their honor. During this time, Connor reveals a shocking detail: before Esther’s death, she gave him a phone that once belonged to the “Matador.” This phone holds the key to proving Wong’s true identity. But their journey isn’t easy—while crossing into China, Connor creates a ruckus, leading to their arrest. However, they are soon broken out of custody by a Siberian hitwoman who works for the Russian kingpin. Despite her relentless pursuit, Chan and Connor manage to escape her clutches.
As the story unfolds, Connor sees Wong on the news and finally realizes that he was the one who murdered Esther. Meanwhile, Chan learns that Samantha has been captured by Wong’s right-hand man, Willie, who threatens her life unless Chan retrieves the phone. In a dramatic twist, Connor decides to part ways with Chan, giving him the phone that will expose Wong as the “Matador.” However, when Chan attempts to use the phone to prove Wong’s guilt, he discovers that the phone’s security thumbprint doesn’t match Wong’s, leading to his own arrest by the Hong Kong police.
With Connor’s help, Chan manages to break free from police custody, and together with Leslie (Chan’s coworker), they bypass the phone’s security and find a crucial clue that will reveal the Matador’s true identity. Leslie informs them that Captain Tang (Michael Wong) is working with Wong, and this information helps them escape from the police station. The pair sneaks into a shipyard where they witness Wong talking to the “Matador” himself. But the meeting takes a violent turn when Wong is killed for failing to retrieve the phone.
As Chan and Connor attempt to rescue Samantha from Wong’s clutches, they are captured by the crime syndicate. In a shocking revelation, “Matador” unmasked himself as none other than Yung, Chan’s old partner. Yung confesses that he faked his death and had been working as the mastermind behind the criminal activities all along. Samantha, devastated by her father’s actions, locks herself away, refusing to accept his betrayal.
As a cargo ship slowly sinks after being struck by a boat, Chan and Yung work together to save Samantha from drowning. In a tragic turn of events, Yung sacrifices himself by drowning to ensure Samantha’s safety. Meanwhile, the Siberian hitwoman arrives with reinforcements to rescue Chan and Connor, and the police arrive just in time to apprehend the criminals. With the authorities closing in, Tang and Willie are arrested, bringing justice to the long-running investigation.
Connor returns to Russia, where he fulfills his promise to witness the birth of his child with the Russian kingpin’s daughter. However, after the baby is born, it’s revealed that the child is not his. Disillusioned, Connor leaves the hospital and later surprises Chan at his farm, bringing alpacas to help Chan fulfill his lifelong dream of running an alpaca farm. In a lighthearted moment, Connor attempts to knock out Chan using a technique he learned from him earlier. Chan, however, manages to stay awake just long enough to see Connor and Samantha leave—before finally being knocked out by Connor’s technique.
