October 25, 2008Funny action movie with Jackie and Owen. Jackie's dad is murdered and his sister is missing. They trace her to London, where they uncover a conspiracy to kill the Royal family.

October 24, 2008Even better than the first, with clever fight scene choreography and some very funny moments, Chan manages to make another great comedy pairing with Wilson.

March 14, 2008Good clean, stupid fun. The cast has great chemistry and comedic timing, the stunts are cool, and the story is predictable so you don't have to pay attention to it.

September 30, 2009Bad sequel. This film was more like a rehash of the original. Sorry, was it a remake?

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A desperately unfunny action comedy, mirthless not only in its effect on an audience but in its whole aura. full review
February 7, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is just the sort of mindless entertainment we're ready for after all of December's distinguished and significant Oscar finalists. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
So appallingly slipshod in all the usual departments is this sequel to the engaging martial-arts comedy Western Shanghai Noon that you're tempted to cite its makers for contempt. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A pretty entertaining movie, in a kick-you- in-the-pants kind of way. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Grating. That's the best word to describe this flat follow-up to Shanghai Noon. full review

May 31, 2007"Shanghai Knights" is great when 1887, the movie's time setting, just got a bit funny as comedy mixes with the action and martial arts. Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) finish the story of "Shanghai Noon" just to return for this sequel. They travel from the Wild West to London, the center of the British Empire, where they fight a villain plotting to take over the British Crown. (Yeah, I guess that's what's in the movie's summary. I hope I'm right about this.) Meanwhile, both Chon and Roy meet the young Charlie Chaplin. Yes, that's right; Chon and Roy meet Charlie Chaplin. The movie is set in 1887; Chaplin wasn't born until 1889. This anachronism is easy for me to remember as Chaplin should've been out of the picture for someone else instead, but what the hey.... I like "Shanghai Knights"!
