Shanghai Knights
6,719
Action. Comedy
It's 1887, and odd-couple heroes Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen 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.

"Wilson and Chan - this generation's Hope and Crosby? Okay, maybe not, but they certainly transcend decent material to make a film that is easily the equal of the original (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"'Shanghai Knights' has a nice mix of calculation and relaxed goofiness, and in Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, once again teams up two playful actors who manifestly enjoy playing their ridiculous roles (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Turns out to be that rarest of Hollywood creatures: a sequel that one-ups the original" | ||||
"Pretty mediocre entertainment, and probably better suited for home viewing than a trip to the multiplex" | ||||
"It's too bad Chan's imagination and delicacy were wasted in this movie." |
