SHANGHAI SET:

The two Shanghai movies to date(2015), starring
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson!!


SHANGHAI NOON(2000):

A pretty good comedy western starring Jackie Chan
and Owen Wilson, this one joins up the unlikely
pair and has some fun moments, dialogue by
Owen and action scenes by Jackie! B+

From IMDb.com:

'Shanghai Noon' is a western-comedy starring Jackie
Chan and Owen Wilson. Chan is Chon Wang (sounds
like John Wayne) and Wilson is Roy O'Bannon, a perfect
name for the outlaw he is. Wang is in the USA because
he has to save a princess, played by Lucy Liu. He and
O'Bannon have to work together, why and how is not
important at all.

What is important is the fun they have together, and
therefore the fun we have while watching that. We
have the usual Jackie Chan martial art and this time
it is combined with the very funny Owen Wilson talking.
For some reason I like him in almost every movie and
here he gets at least one laugh in every scene. Try not
to think too much and you must be able to enjoy this
movie as much as I did. - rbverhoef

SHANGHAI KNIGHTS(2003):

This is one of those anomolies in movie!! Part two
is just as good as part one!! Jackie and Owen have
really put themselves in a groove with each other,
with great comedic timing as well as their stunts!
A good story about Jackie's father, who's been the
latest in a long line of ancestors to be the "keeper
of the Imperial Seal"!! When an unknown dude decides
it's time for the Imperial Seal to pass on to other
hands, Jackie gets involved with an international
incident that takes our pair of heroes to London and
the Royal Palace to stop a coupe not only in England
but in his homeland of China!! With Chon's sister
also involved here as not only Jackie's helper to
gain back the Imperial Seal, but as a love interest
for Owen! A lot of fun!!

Some great specials in this release too! A

From IMDb.com:

The implied promise of a sequel is that it will give
you what you got from the first movie, but that
promise is often broken. Shanghai Knights is an
exception, giving the audience that same mix
of goofy dialogue and slapstick martial arts that
made the first movie so much fun. This time the
duo heads to England, allowing them to make a
bunch of incredibly silly jokes about England
and Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chaplin. The
movie is essentially one long wink, and if you
ike that sort of humor your likely to find much
of it amusing. At times I thought they pushed
the anachronistic dialogue a little too far, as
when Owen asks the gorgeous Fann Wong if
she works out, but overall it works pretty well.
Chan supplies a number of very entertaining
fight sequences along with his usual goofy
charm and the end result feels like a more
actiony version of a Hope/Crosby road
movie. - Charles Herold
