Shanghai Knights

Aaron Johnson, Aidan Gillen, Constantine Gregory, Donnie Yen, Fann Wong

When a Chinese rebel murders Chon's estranged father and escapes to England, Chon and Roy make their way to London with revenge on their minds. Chon's sister, Lin, has the same idea, and uncovers a wo...( read more  read more... )rldwide conspiracy to murder the royal family--but almost no one will believe her. With the help of a kindly Scotland Yard Inspector and a 10-year-old street urchin, the acrobatic Chon gives Victorian Britain a kick in the pants as he attempts to avenge his father's death--and keep the romance-minded Roy away from his sister.

    Roy: So what did your dad do? Was he an imperial guard?
    Chon Wang: No, much more important. He was the Keeper of the Imperial Seal.
    Roy: That's what I love about China. Everybody's job description sounds so damn cool!

    You can see that everyone is clearly having a good time, to ...( read more)not really care how ridiculous things are in this movie. fun enough.

    If you care about the story: This time Chan and Wilson go to England to find the murderers of Chan's father. Fish out of water action and comedy ensues.

    This film takes a step further than the last in tone, by purposefully becoming set at making clear homages to other films, using contemporary music and dialog, and being very self aware in general.

    The chemistry between Chan and Wilson is fun once again, the action is cool enough, and there is even a fight between Chan and Donnie Yen. Pretty cool.

    Server: Spotted dick, sir?
    Roy: What?
    Server: Spotted dick?
    Roy: Can you believe this guy? I'm trying to get something to eat and he's asking me if I got the clap.

    Funny 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.

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

    Good 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.

    Hilarious.

    Interesting, I laughed. Jackie Chan as Chon Wang, pull up some crazy stuns yet again, Owen Wilson played blond playboy charmer Roy O'Bannon and Aidan Gillen gave us one hot English villain, Lord Nelson Rathbone.

    I like how they put little details and characters fro...( read more)m other stories into the movie, like when Jack the Ripper shows up at the end and wanted to attack Chon's little sister Lin, but she kick his ass, or little boy named Charlie Chaplin who went with Roy O'Bannon and Chon Wang a.k.a. John Wayne to Hollywood to start their acting carriers and of course, former Inspector Arthur Conan Doyle who is just about to wrote his famous stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes. We could also hear one of my favorite song Singin' in the Rain during Jackie's fight with umbrellas. I love those details.

    Costumes and make-up was great. Soundtrack, funny, not bad. Overall, very good action comedy, I highly recommended it.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Doyle: I think you gentlemen should accompany me back to the Yard.
    [Cut to Roy and Chon in a cell at Scotland Yard]
    Roy: This isn't a yard! It's a JAIL!
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Roy: That's a terrible name for a detective. Sherlock Holmes?
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Chon Wang: We are wasting time.
    Roy: What do you think I've been doing? Sittin' here and drinking expensive hooch?
    [to Charlie]
    Roy: Boy, refill.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Chon Wang: I look like a fool.
    Roy: What? You're a Maharajah! That's Indian royalty!
    Chon Wang: But I'm Chinese.
    Roy: It's the same thing.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Roy: There's this new thing they're starting out in California: moving pictures. There's no sound, so we won't have to worry about the language problem, and I think the kung fu stuff could be huge! People are dying for a good action flick.
    Chon Wang: Chon Wang...
    [sounds like "John Wayne"]
    Chon Wang: ...movie star? It could work.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Lord Rathbone: One more.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Lord Rathbone: Perhaps you could explain to me how Looney Lin managed to escape from the confines of Scotland Yard under the watch of the most respected police force in the world.
    Doyle: Yes, of course, it's absolutely fascinating. She picked the lock using a deck of rather risqué playing cards. Then scaled the walls with a mop, a fork, and various pilfered undergarments. I've got to hand it to the Chinese, they're awfully ingenious, Lord, aren't they?
    Lord Rathbone: Does your incompetence know no bounds?
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Roy: Well, what's in it for you?
    Lord Rathbone: Your looking at the future king of England.
    Roy: You're, like, 20th line to the throne.
    Lord Rathbone: 10th. But my friend here is about to change all that.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Doyle: [to Nelson] No matter how far you are from the throne, you'll always be number one in our hearts.
    ..........................................................................................................................
    Enjoy!
