Editorial Review: Description: Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR 2) and Owen Wilson (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS) jump back in the saddle for SHANGHAI KNIGHTS, the hilarious sequel to the hit action-comedy SHANGHAI NOON. When Chon Wang (Chan) gets news of his estranged father's murder in Shanghai, he leaves his honorable life as Carson City's sheriff in a cloud of dust and reunites with his yarn-spinning sidekick, Roy O'Bannon (Wilson). Together they make their way to London on a daring quest for honor and revenge. Hilarious escapades and hair-raising adventures ensue as our heroes find themselves in the middle of a devious plot to eliminate the entire royal family. And Chon gives Victorian Britain a royal kick in the pants as he tries to avenge his father's death and keep love-struck Roy away from his sister! Amazon.com: Better than your average sequel, Shanghai Knights almost defies the law of diminishing returns. Lacking the freshness of Shanghai Noon, it compensates with a looser, disposable plot that plays to the strengths of costars Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson. It's 1887, and odd-couple heroes Chon Wang (Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) are in London to retrieve the Imperial Seal of China, stolen by an English lord (Aidan Gillen) who killed Wang's father in his quest for the British throne. Wang's lithe and lovely sister (Fann Wong) joins the battle with high-kicking force, appealing to Roy's roguish charm and surfer-dude anachronisms. While Chan continues his transition to safer stunts and good-natured homage to Buster Keaton, Gene Kelly, and other Hollywood legends, Wilson indulges the party vibe to good effect, maintaining the anything-goes approach that allows silly encounters with Jack the Ripper, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a Dickensian urchin named Charlie Chaplin. (Chaplin wasn't born until 1889, but if the filmmakers didn't care, why should you?) --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - For some reason I'd forgotten seeing this movie... But it all came back eventually! Good stuff!While I'm not saying the movie is forgettable, I am saying that I did forget having seen it until I re-watched it today. Now I remember good portions of it from before. In all it's a comedy / martial arts piece with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson. It's a worthy sequel to the original. Plenty more action, comedy and loose women, so-to-speak. The pillow fight seemed completely extraneous, and yet quite amusing. Though, it was apparently the most dangerous scene in the movie on account of ... Read More Rating:  - A bowl of FunAs an old Jackie Chan fan I was of course pleased to see him finally make his breakthrough in Hollywood with "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon" some years ago, and I think highly of both movies. But whereas the Rush Hour franchise has run on for too long, the tale of the two accidental western heroes is (as of yet) unspoiled. "Shanghai Knights" is funny, well produced, well acted, well actionpacked, generally well made, and, in my opinion, better than its predecessor "Shanghai Noon". ... Read More Rating:  - It's not as funny as Shanghai NoonIt's not as funny as Shanghai Noon. You can see it's obviously a spin-off of Shanghai Noon. That effort fails completely. If you like Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson you still want to watch this. Rating: - Chan & WilsonA great movie for fans of both Jackie Chan & Owen Wilson. Really funny and full of action. Rating: - one of Jackie's bestVery underated Jackie movie. It is funny and has great action. (Nothing much else to say, I just wanted to put in my 5 stars worth.)
