Jackie Chan (RUSH HOUR 2) and Owen Wilson (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS) jump back in the saddle for SHANGHAI KNIGHTS, the hilarious sequel to the hit action-comedy SHANGHAI NOON. When Chon Wang (Chan) gets news of his estranged father's murder in Shanghai, he leaves his honorable life as Carson City's sheriff in a cloud of dust and reunites with his yarn-spinning sidekick, Roy O'Bannon (Wilson). Together they make their way to London on a daring quest for honor and revenge. Hilarious escapades and hair-raising adventures ensue as our heroes find themselves in the middle of a devious plot to eliminate the entire royal family. And Chon gives Victorian Britain a royal kick in the pants as he tries to avenge his father's death and keep love-struck Roy away from his sister! Review: A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE THAT DESERVES A KNIGHTHOOD - I came for a lighthearted buddy comedy. I left emotionally transformed, spiritually uplifted, and fully prepared to duel a British aristocrat with a folding ladder. Shanghai Knights is not just a movie. It is an experience. It is friendship. It is honor. It is Owen Wilson mispronouncing British things with absolute confidence. Jackie Chan once again defies physics, gravity, and probably several Victorian safety regulations. The fight scenes? Flawless. Elegant. Beautifully chaotic. I now believe ladders were invented solely so Jackie Chan could weaponize them in period clothing. And Owen Wilson? A national treasure. His commitment to being wildly out of place in 1880s England is inspiring. The banter between Chon Wang and Roy O’Bannon is the kind of friendship we all aspire to: loyal, ridiculous, slightly irresponsible, but ultimately heroic. Let’s not forget the historical accuracy: Queen Victoria, Sherlock Holmes’ cousin (don’t question it), and a villain so delightfully dramatic you can practically hear the orchestral swell every time he enters a room. But beneath the comedy and flying furniture lies something wholesome. It’s about loyalty. Family. Doing the right thing. And occasionally disguising yourself in theatrical costumes to infiltrate high society. This is the kind of movie you put on when you want to laugh, feel good, and momentarily believe you too could survive Victorian England armed with nothing but charm and improvised martial arts. If you don’t enjoy this film, I challenge you to a duel at high noon (location flexible). 10/10. Would knight again. Review: My Favorite - Truly, an awesome throwback love these two actors and the sequel to their first movie. This one is just as funny and so worth the purchase! A great laugh.

Great Movie For a Night Of Laughs
I'm not sure what people are expecting out of this movie... giving it 2 or 3 stars. It's by no means a masterpiece, but it is simply a great movie for entertainment. Jackie shows some nice moves, Owen has his "wow" moments, and Little Finger is still kind of young here. Awesome movie if you're not expecting a masterpiece with a great story.
