Python Hyena Shanghai Knights (2003): Dir: David Dobkin / Cast: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Fann Wong, Aidan Gillen, Donnie Yen: Sequel to Shanghai Noon with a title that suggests storybook themes in a way that Owen Wilson attempts to impress people with bogus adventures, plus it references classic films and actors. Yet it is still just a series of set pieces and tired plotting. The Chinese Seal is stolen and Jackie Chan's father is murdered. His sister pursues the killers to London where an assassination is planned. Chan and Owen Wilson reunite and various stunts and action sequences follow. Standard issue plot with David Dobkin doing well as director. Hopefully he will move beyond this. Chan combines action and humour. Wilson throws out one-liners and delusional fantasies. Unfortunately they are merely reciting what worked better during their western outing. Fann Wong is skilled as Chan's sister who pursues her father's killer. She is the one interesting role in the film and it is still not enough to make this watchable. Villains are unfortunately standard with Aidan Gillan leading the pack. He is about as frightening as Elmer Fudd less the personality. Because Rush Hour spawned a sequel, I suppose they figured out of fairness, why not sequel Shanghai Noon. The result is a well made comedy that serves as nothing more than a pointless sequel. Score: 3 ½ / 10
OllieSuave-007 The East meets the West again in this sequel, where British Parliament rebel Lord Rathbone (Aidan Gillen) murders Chon Wang's (Jackie Chan) estranged father (Kim Chan) and escapes to England with Wang's Imperial Seal. Chon teams up with Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) and sister Chon Lin (Faye Wong) to avenge his father's death and to uncover a plot to murder the royal family.This is another good old fashion western comedy featuring Chan's signature martial arts moves and Wilson's mellow and grandiose personality. The two make a rock-em, sock-em team as they take out bad guy after bad guy, and, put in the martial-arts-skilled Faye Wong in the mix, you got triple the action and fun.Like the first film, the plot is quick-paced, helped by the story's many adventures, cultural references and fast action. More subplots and supporting characters were added to the story such as a young Charlie Chaplin (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), which served as a touching antagonist-turned-sidekick to our three heroes. The Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper references served an interesting twist to the movie, as well as the appearance of Queen Victoria - all contributing to the grandiose and splendor of England back in that time. While I didn't care for Gillen as the lead villain, I enjoyed seeing Donnie Yen as the villainous Wu Chow more. His fight against Chan, pitting martial arts star against martial arts star, is a thrilling display of action cinema. The clash between the east and west cultures continue to be amusing and the slapstick humor and whimsical jokes from the cast made this a continuously entertaining feature.Grade B
Jackson Booth-Millard Shanghai Noon was a good fun twist on the western theme mixing both the traditions and martial arts, and this sequel is just as fun. Basically Chinese rebels murder the Father (Kim S. Chan) of Chon Lin (Fann Wong), sister of course of Chon Wang (Jackie Chan), and when he hears, he, along with his partner Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) are determined to find those responsible. They end up in London, England looking for the villains, soon to be helped out and annoyed a little by young street Charlie Chaplin (Aaron Johnson) and Insp. Artie Doyle (Thomas 'Tom' Fisher), oh, and Lin too. As the story unfolds, they find out about a plot to take the crown from Queen Victoria (Gemma Jones) by royalty member Lord Nelson Rathbone (Aidan Gillen). So it is not a mission to stop him in his dastardly plot by getting back the precious Imperial Seal, but also avenge Chon's father. With just as many good giggles, fight scenes (including one spoofing Singin' in the Rain), and Chan and Wilson still good making a good buddy duo, it is a likable sequel. Worth watching!
tonberrykinged Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson join forces once again in this sequel to the kung-fu comedy western Shanghai Noon. Unlike the Rush Hour films this franchise seems to have plenty of life left in it - and that isn't just because Chris Tucker's nowhere to be seen! The story surrounds Chon Wang's (Chan) quest for revenge after his father is killed by a dastardly English royal with his sights set on the throne. Now living in America, he gets the chance to reunite with inept sidekick Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) who has moved to England. This is where most of the action takes place, allowing for plenty of 'fish-out-of-water' humour and general Brit-bashing. As usual, Wilson's laid back delivery hits the mark, and the chemistry between the two stars really works.Shanghai Knights features some of Chan's best fight sequences in a Hollywood movie. It's clear he's been given more time for his customary choreographic perfection than in the previous movie. Highlights include his tussle with guards in the library and the showdown with fellow kung-fu legend Donnie Yen (Hero, Iron Monkey) under heavy machine gun fire! This is one of those movies which really is for all ages. It would be a misleading to call it a family film because that would suggest a syrup laden, overly moralistic film which, thankfully, this is not (witness O'Bannon's cruel put-down on a London orphan). Shanghai Knights is that rare thing - a sequel that surpasses the original, and a Hollywood production that makes the most of Jackie's talents.Summary? A very fun (and funny) adventure.
