In the live action, there are several martial arts fight scenes, chase scenes, people trapped in a cage surrounded by hyenas, and people in peril of freezing to death.

More Detail:
KUNG FU YOGA features Jackie Chan as Professor Jack, an archaeologist, who receives a request from a young, beautiful Indian professor, Dr. Ashmita, to launch a treasure hunt for an ancient lost Indian treasure. Besides being knowledgeable in archaeology, Professor Jack displays his expert skills in Kung Fu while Dr. Ashmita shows her expert skills in yoga. The unlikely duo quickly discovers the first clue, which leads to a glacier.
Using high-level technology, they drill beneath the glacier and find another critical clue, but they’re waylaid by mercenaries who also seek the treasure. Dr. Ashmita saves Professor Jack from their glacial tomb by using an advanced yoga technique while swimming through the near freezing waters to escape.
The pursuit finally takes the treasure seekers and mercenaries to an underground Buddhist temple filled with gold. The foes continue to battle until the temple worshippers put an end to the fighting. Everyone bows to an idol of Buddha and joins a Bollywood dance for the finale.
KUNG FU YOGA features the acting talents of Jackie Chan and one lion during a chase scene. The dialogue includes too many explanations. Also, many of the characters are based on crude stereotypes. As often is the case in a Jackie Chan movie, the action violence for the most part is a more comic style of Kung Fu, with sporadic spurts of gun fire and chase scenes. Several foul words are said in Chinese, but clearly displayed in the subtitles. The movie’s popular quote is “He who possesses the eye of Shiva possesses the whole world.”
Due to violence, foul language and idol worship, extreme caution is recommended for children.
