| Product Details |
| An action-comedy with a decidedly Western twist, SHANGHAI NOON features more acrobatics from superstar Jackie Chan. Chon Wang (Chan) is a dedicated member of the Chinese Imperial Guard. When the emperor's former captain, Lo Fong (Yuan), oversees an illegal operation that involves kidnapping Princess Pei Pei (Liu) and bringing her to America's wild West, it's up to Chong to save the day. Eventually partnering with the wise-cracking bandit Roy O'Bannon (Wilson), Chong uses his Eastern skills to tackle the wild West. SHANGHAI NOON is an high-kicking adventure with great comic chemistry between stars Chan and Wilson. |

(05/26/2000, p.25, Roger Ebert): "...A wink at Westerns, martial arts and buddy movies -- enriched by a goofy performance by Owen Wilson, who would steal the movie if Chan were not so clever at sharing it with him...", (05/26/2000, p.C1, Kevin Thomas): "...The hilarious, knockabout SHANGHAI NOON, Jackie Chan's best American picture to date, breathes fresh life into the virtually dormant comedy-western...", (05/26/2000, p.E12, A. O. Scott): "...The movie benefits from an unusually witty, high-spirited script....it's giddily, effervescently funny...", (06/02/2000, p.13E, Mike Clark): "...[A] smoothly filmed, generally funny and brilliantly titled Western...", (06/22/2000, p.140, Peter Travers): "...Wilson is flat-out hilarious....A slap-happy treat...", (07/01/2000, p.102, Wade Major): "...[Chan and Wilson are] perfectly matched in temperament and timing, they make for a classic duo whose cinematic exploits have surely only begun..." |
