Actor Jackie Chan has decide to donate the props used in his latest film, Chinese Zodiac, to the National Stadium, the main venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The film is about a treasure-hunting journey undertaken by kung fu masters who bring back bronze-headed statues that were looted by British and French troops from the Old Summer Palace in Beijing 150 years ago.

The stadium will exhibit replicas of the 12 statues, the most important props used in the film, and develop related games for tourists.

Chan wrote the script, directed the film and led the cast. The film will be released on December 20.
