![]() ![]() The Prince, having become infatuated with Monique and ordered her to stay as his seventh wife (one for each day of the week) while the men were ordered to leave. Here, they were entertained for some hours in a swimming pool. They then travel to Turkey, where they are greeted by Prince Hapi (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The two men, accompanied by Monique, depart in a hot-air balloon. All of a sudden, Passepartout returns and tells his boss that they are late. To make a machine that could allow men to fly was always Phileas's dream he therefore feels touched. Moments later, Phileas sees a painting of a man with wings. Meanwhile, Phileas and Monique discuss Monique's paintings of 'impossible things', such as dogs playing poker. Realizing how busy his boss is, Passepartout fights the minions using every material available: canvas, brushes, buckets of paint, etc. Pretending to take Phileas to a convention with Thomas Edison, Passepartout leads him instead to an Art School, where Phileas meets Monique (Cécile de France), a would-be impressionist. She had given the Buddha to Lord Kelvin in exchange for military assistance in her enterprises to conquer Lau Xing's village. They then travel to Paris, where Passepartout must evade minions sent by the murderous female soldier General Fang, out after what he stole: the Jade Buddha, which is a sign of good fortune. ![]() Without losing a moment, they take a carriage and leave London, after crossing with Inspector Fix (Ewen Bremner), a corrupt officer who was hired to stop them from travelling around the world. Passepartout and Phileas retreat to Phileas's home, where he mourns on his rash decision yet Passepartout said that to bet on something he believed in made the bet in no way foolish. If he won, he would become Minister of Science in Lord Kelvin's place if not, he would tear down his lab and never invent anything again. Fogg places a bet to see if it would be possible (as his calculations said) to travel around the world in 80 days. In his blind rage, Fogg says that he's glad the bank was robbed because it is outdated and says that the thief could be in China in little over a month, which interests Lau Xing. Here, Fogg is insulted by other 'brilliant minds', in particular the bombastic Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), who believes that everything worth discovering has already been discovered and there is no need for further progress. ![]() After succeeding to do so, and managing to avoid the police, they head to the Royal Academy of Science. To escape from the police, he observes from a window, two police officers searching for him asking an Oriental man in the street for his identification, and says "Passport.too", he becomes, under the name "Passepartout" (pronounced Pass-par-too), a valet to Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan), a scientist trying to break the 50-mph speed barrier. A chinese man, Lau Xing (Jackie Chan), robbed and try to escape from the Bank of England. ![]()
