Shanghai Knights

Pros: Chan and Wilson still make good buddies
Cons: Less action, more modern references

"Shanghai Knights" is a film that returns viewers to the seemingly bygone days of Jackie Chan (circa 2000). It's the sequel to Chan's movie from 2000, "Shanghai Noon.," and takes place in 1887, six years after the original. Chon Wang (Chan), a former...

Pros: It ended.
Cons: acting, dialogue, plot, story, that it was ever made.

This is a Jackie Chan film, so right off you have a 50/50 chance of it being the sequel to another one of his movies. It seems that whenever he has success in a film, even if it is quite modest that a sequel will be soon to follow. In the past I have ...

Pros: Returning characters in a fun, entertaining movie.
Cons: Certain things could be too silly for some viewers.

After Shanghai Noon< a> was so successful, it was no surprise when a sequel was made. I recently watched Shanghai Knights< b>< i>, the sequel, again. In Imperial China, Chon Wang rsquo;s< b> father was ...

Pros: chan/wilson make a great comedy pair
Cons: kind of generic fighting

Out of all the martial artists in the world, one of them happens to act and do his own stunts ...

Pros: Chan, Wilson and there chemistry. Choreography and sense of fun.
Cons: Again, some people will complain about he silliness, for some reason.

Well I said before that both S hanghai Noon films show what was so great about Chan, and I meant both films. Shanghai Knights is, of course, the sequel to Shanghai Noon and sees the return of Chinese ...

Pros: Very funny, good cast, decent storyline, fast-moving
Cons: None really, unless you are an over-sensitive, paranoid Brit or American!

I went into this movie rather blind as I’ve never seen the prequel, Shanghai Noon. (As we Brits are a bit behind in the movie stakes I saw it in the cinema quite recently, not on DVD). But now that I’ve seen this, I want to see that. But ...

Pros: A Couple Laughs Here And There, Owen Wilson And Jackie Chan Are Talented Actors
Cons: Not As Good As The Original Which Wasn't Terrific In The First Place

I've never been a really big fan of movies based on martial arts, or Jackie Chan for that matter, but for some odd reason I went to see the movie Shanghai Noon when it first premiered. Although I didn't particularly enjoy this movie, after seeing the...

Pros: mildly funny, Wilson and Chan's chemistry
Cons: dumb plot even for this, bad supporting characters

"Shanghai Knights" reunites Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), our two heroes continuing their saga since we last saw them in "Shanghai Noon." It's a good thing Chan and Wilson came back, as they both had to redeem their careers....

Pros: You gotta like Jackie Chan; lots of low-grade laughs
Cons: Owen Wilson; nothing about this film is even slightly believable

I really like Jackie Chan and have been enjoying his films for many years. I prefer his low-budget Hong Kong films to the big-budget Hollywood films, even with the poor dubbing and modest production values. However, with that smile, athletic skill and...

Pros: In the words of Ernest Borgnine in the Wild Bunch, "It'll do."
Cons: while amusing on a sheer surface level, on how much deeper it wanted to be!

A movie that pairs one of the greatest physical comedians of all time, a virtual kung fu fourth Stooge in Jackie Chan with a deadpan dead-on with cultural ironic references partner, should be intimates with the broader and vaster culture it seeks to...

Pros: Great action. Great Jackie Chan moves and lots of great jokes.
Cons: The dramatic end was a tad bit weak.

Punch! Bam! Kick! Slap! Jab! Kung Pao! No, it's not another Batman movie. It's Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan back for a sequel to Shanghai Noon. They go from China to the West to England, and this movie has you traveling with them while you laugh, cringe,...

Pros: Chan and Wilson make a great team.
Cons: Nothing new storywise.

The buddy comedy film has its roots buried deeply into the Hollywood historical archives. One need look no further than the classic Road movies of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope to see that even in the Golden Age of Hollywood, this formula was a proven winner....

Pros: Jackie and Owen improve upon the original, and the fun never stops.
Cons: Continuity errors and a numbing simplicity.

SHANGHAI KNIGHTS is a Touchstone Pictures/Spyglass Entertainment presentation, rated PG-13 fo ...

Pros: Where's the story?
Cons: As usual, amazing martial arts action fight scenes

UnLucky me. I went to see the screening for "The Recruit" with Al Pacino, and accidentally got passes to see “Shanghai Knights” the sequel to Shanghai Noon. Unlucky because I’m not a martial arts genre fan and was looking forward to seeing...

Pros: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, action sequences
Cons: Seems slow in parts, too predictable

Who would have thought a film like Shanghai Noon would acquire a cult following, let alone a sequel ...
