Jean Reno wears an unidentified watch

Jean Reno and Michaël Youn appear in promotional materials associated with The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman, though the film itself is a Chinese action comedy directed by Wuershan. The 2011 production follows a cleaver forged from legendary martial arts swords as it passes through various hands, linking stories of butchers, chefs, and warriors. Wuershan's film became a cult curiosity in China for its manic editing and irreverent humor, playing more like a music video than a traditional wuxia picture. How Reno and Youn connect to the project remains unclear, whether through dubbing, promotional appearances, or footage repurposed for international markets. The film never found much of an audience outside Asia. Their watches have not been identified.
