A Winner For Jackie Chan

It seems this film has been out longer than just nine years but I remember it was one of the first modern-day humorous martial arts films to be seen in North America. It also introduced a much wider English-speaking audience to the charm and talents of Asian star Jackie Chan, who now is well-known everywhere.

This is considered one of Chan's better films and the setting certainly is different than normal for him: the American Old West. Good action scenes, some solid humor, fun characters and nice cinematography are all the pluses. Chan speaks English so there is no need for dubbing, either.

The only "minus" I found was the final action scene going on too long, but that's typical of modern action films. All in all, this is a very entertaining movie. Owen Wlson and Lucy Liu also are two big reasons this film became so popular.

I'd forgotten just how good this movie was!

For some reason, I had an image of a really cheesy, cornball movie that was so-so. But I may have been thinking of Wild Wild West and/or Blazing Saddles.

I love Jackie Chan movies. This one doesn't disappoint! It's full of great action scenes, several doses of humor, and lots of Jackie goodness!

I liked it considerably more than The Medallion, which I watched a couple nights ago (at least decent fare in its own right). Now I really want to see Shanghai Knights and see if it's as good as the original.

I'd certainly rate this a "buy" if you're into Jackie, and maybe even if you're not. Good art direction, costuming, etc. Well choreographed fights. Etc. Good stuff!

Comedy Holds Up Years On

Holy cow, it's been nearly a decade since Shanghai Noon was released.

Recently I was up for a ski trip where the hotel rooms only had VHS players. We borrowed a copy of Shanghai Noon 'for old time sakes'.

I was rather pleased with how well the comedy of Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan has held up over the years. Both are masters of timing, but in their own way. I'd forgotten just how funny this movie was until it reached the train robbery scene.

I've watched both actors (especially Owen Wilson) in many movies since this one's release in 2000, but I can hardly say they've improved as their comedic stylings were as solid then as they remain today.

(I cannot vouch for all of Wilson's films because some seemed too silly to watch, but the ones where he's half-serious half-funny are classic in my mind)

Two cultures collide in SHANGHAI NOON, a wildly hilarious, stunt-filled action-adventure comedy starring the death-defying action hero Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR 2), Owen Wilson (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS), and Lucy Liu (PAYBACK, CHARLIE'S ANGELS). Chan plays Chinese Imperial Guard Chon Wang (say it out loud) who hightails it to the wild and woolly West to rescue the beautiful kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Liu). When he meets up with the laid-back outlaw cowboy dude Roy O'Bannon (Wilson), they form the best mismatch ever made in the rough and tumble Old West -- the two face jail, brawls, bordellos, and the vilest villains this side of the Great Wall! Spectacular stunts, outrageous irreverence, and epic vistas reign as East meets West in a battle for honor, royalty, and a fortune in gold! It's a real kick!
