    Who says that the western-action-comedy can't have Jackie Chan & Owen Wilson?
  • December 31, 2009
    A comical Western with an Eastern touch. Entertaining fight sequences, a great comedy partnership between Wilson and Chan and a comedy slant parody of the Western genre.
  • September 21, 2009
    This is a fun and refreshing 'buddy' movie with some genuine laughs in it.

    Roy O'Bannon: Yes, John, I've heard all about the Emperor. Must be one hell of a man.
    Chon Wang: He's only twelve.
    Roy O'Bannon: Are you kidding me? You're sitting here, waiting to die for someone whose balls haven't even dropped?

    Rush Hour goes west? Funny moments and neat mart...( read more)ial arts in the old west make this a fun movie.

    This movie doesn't attempt to be serious about its setting, its about having fun, and this film delivers. Chan stars as a Chinese man sent to the Wild Wild West to rescue a kidnapped princess, played by Lucy Liu. During his travels, he eventually partners up with a wannabe outlaw, played by Owen Wilson. The comedy/action ensues.

    What works is the chemistry between Chan and Wilson. Its a strange combo, but it works. The old west setting provides a neat twist for a Jackie Chan style action film. All of this adds up to a fun film.

    Roy O'Bannon: Ooooh... who's the pretty lady?
    Chon Wang: That's my wife!
    Roy O'Bannon: How long you been in this country?
    Chon Wang: Four days.
    Roy O'Bannon: Nice work.

    Chan's last grasp at big American success are these buddy comedies he subjects himself to. His core audience doesn't know what to make of them because Jackie is so watered down.

    The novelty of the teams (and the setting here) keep people interested in an action comedy coming ...( read more)though. It doesn't feel like the kind of last impression legacy that should be stamped on an inovator like Chan.

    Not a bad film...it passes the time. It isn't anything to write home about either with really bad editing and it seems rushed. Only watch if you want a popcorn film that requires little thinking.
  • December 29, 2009
    Nice and fun, nice and sweethearted
  • December 19, 2009
    CHAN AND WILSON ARE EXCELLENT TOGETHER IN THIS

    cowboys and boots... doesnt really work for me.

Roger Ebert, At the Movies

If you see only one martial arts Western this year (and there is probably an excellent chance of that), this is the one. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Shanghai Noon is, in classic western tradition, a celebration of male bonding, unabashedly juvenile, boyishly risqué and disarmingly sweet. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

If you see only one martial arts Western this year (and there is probably an excellent chance of that), this is the one. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Gough and Millar pepper the story with enough silly gags and droll one-liners that it's easy enough to stay alert between Chan's chest kicks and balletic twirls. full review
