Movie Reviews of Shanghai Knights
Movie Review: Jackie Chan's Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson return in the sequal to their movie "Shanghai Noon," a movie which I did not like at all, but now they both return with a great sequal and a great movie "Shanghai Knights." What I liked about "Shanghai Knights," what that there was more comedy in this movie and the action scenes used that comedy. Owen Wilson also proves once again that he is a great comedic actor, just like he did with his other great movies "I Spy," "The Royal Tenenbaums." and "The Big Bounce." Jackie Chan also gives us his best role after making decent movies like "The Tuxedo," and "The Medallion." The movie takes place in 1887. Chon Wang(pronounced John Wayne) is the sheriff in carson City Neveda, who has to go to London after learning that his father, the keeper of the Imperial Seal that his family was guarding, has been murdered, and his sister Chon Lin followed the killer to London. He goes to New York to collect his money from his old partner Roy O' Bannon, an ex-cowboy who is getting his "adventures" into best-selling books, written by Sage McAlister. Roy lost the money after a bad investment, and the two escape from trouble that Roy gets into an make it to London. When they make it their they run into Charlie, an young kid who is part of a street gang. After defeating them, they get arrested and meet Artie Doyle, a police inspector for Scotland Yard. Artie is happy that they got rid of the gang, he informs Chon that his sister is in jail after trying to kill Lord Rathbone. Rathbone is the Queen's cousin and is the tenth in line of the throne. He needs the seal for Wu Chan, who wants to use it to gain control of China, while Rathbone uses a new weapon "the machine gun" to become the next in line of the throne. But Chon, and Roy won't have any of that, and set off to stop Rathbone for killing the royal family. Chon also has to deal with the feelings that Roy and Chon Lin have developed towards each other, with comedic recults.
"Shanghai Knights" is an action comedy where it cannot compare to the first. There is a huge difference between the goodness of the two movies, and this one comes out on top without a doubt. It was a great movie, that had comedy that is better then movies that are just comedies. Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan work so well off of one another, that you just can't imagine them not having a good time making this movie.
ENJOY!
Rated PG-13 for action violence and sexual content.
Summary of Shanghai Knights
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!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
