Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, fresh from their hit, "Shanghai Noon," are back again in this funny, buttkicking sequel, "Shanghai Noon." When watching this movie, one can take a backseat from the complicated plot of the murder of C...hon Wang's father in China, wherein the murderer flees to England, and then Chon(Chan) and buddy Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) and Chon's sister, discover a conspiracy to murder the royal family. Like many Chan movies, we tend to focus more on the kicks and laughs. Chan always acts like the karate-chopping, soft-spoken straight man. Wilson gets the quips, like Chan's "Rush Hour" movie sidekick, Chris Tucker, but not as loud and more gentlemanlike. As for the DVD, my biggest complaint is when DVDs have to make the letterboxes so thick that heads get cut off in the picture and the movie looks smaller. I had this problem with one of my all-time favorites, "Blazing Saddles," hopefully there will be an improved, deluxe version of that one in the future. However, the special features are entertaining such as "Action Overload," which plays in black in white and like a Chaplin movie since Chan is often regarded as a kung-fu Chaplin. The deleted scenes are funny, and my favorite is the one with the "headless knight." If you like your comedy and action, "Shanghai Knights" is it, and so far, I think this is Jackie Chan's best work.

The movie itself is amazing. I loved it. As with almost all DVDs, the special features were lacking/not so good. Besides that its great!! I recommend it to all.

Pros: Fun!

Cons: English is a little odd in some cases

Why do the brother and sister talk to each other in English when no one else is around? It's essential to the plot when Roy overhears, but I still get a bit hung up on it. 'English practice' somewhere in the dialog would have fixed this... oddity. However, that's a writer's quibble, and not strong enough to keep me from enjoying this MANY times. Read more Less

Fann Wong simply Fann-tastic

Pros: Fanntastic movie

Cons: Slow

This movie is great cos of the female lead, Fann Wong. This actress from Singapore is also a martial artist who can kick major ass. She upstaged Jackie and Owen yeah. The first ten minutes is really cool. Other than that, the story is a bit slow ...but worth it cos of Fann Wong. Read more Less
