lisafordeay This was on TV a few days ago and I thought it was funny. The movie was about a Chinese man(played by Jackie Chan)who goes to the Wild Wild West and meets up with a quirky young man who is a train robber played by Owen Wilson and the two unlikely duo set off to save a Chinese princess(played by Lucy Lu)who is kidnapped,and its up to Chan and Wilson to save her. The humor is funny and the acting was very good. Chan was awesome and Wilson was great as im a fan of his since Meet The Parents all the way to Night At The Museum franchise. He actually reminded me of Jedadah(who he plays in Night at the Museum)in this movie. The action was great and for a Western Parody I say check it out. I enjoyed it.6.6/10

daworldismine shanghai noon is easily jackie chans best American movie action wise, now don't get me wrong i prefer rush hour as a movie, but shanghai noon is a much better showcase for chan's sort of action and comedy, and for the most part the movie succeeds, and owen Wilson as his partner and friend is hilarious in this. some of the action is brilliantly done, and even though it doesn't touch his hong kong stuff, but is much better than rush hour, and the stunts in this are better and more daring. the reason shanghai noon is so enjoyable is because it works as just a movie, a comedy and an action movie, there's plenty here for everyone. i seen the sequel and i didn't like it, the action was more wire work, and cgi, and it just felt forced, and unneeded. but never the less i recommend shanghai noon, its a perfect film to introduce jackie chan to people and new fans alike

Master Cultist Enjoyably silly action comedy with the grand master, Jackie Chan.Chan plays a Chinese Imperial guard in the mid 1800's, sent to America by order of the Emperor to bring back a princess who is captive of a particularly unpleasant Chinese character named Lo Fong. Upon arrival in America, Chan has the misfortune to be on a train when a gang of outlaws, led by the most laid back, incompetent cowboy of them all, Owen Wilson, storm the train on a robbery. Inevitably, as Chan seeks the Princess, their paths become inexorably linked.Some decent fight sequences, Chan's trademark stunt work (though toned down from his earlier work, presumably due to age) and a witty script make this entertaining enough fare.I liked it.

Spikeopath A loyal Imperial Guard sets off to America to rescue a kidnapped Princess that he serves in China. After the train he is on is robbed by Outlaws, and his uncle is killed, a set of circumstances will put the guard in the company of a rapscallion cowboy named Roy O'Bannon, to form an unlikely a duo as you are ever likely to see.Laden with Cowboy clichés and trumpeting that it is a West meets the East fish out of water shenanigan, Shanghai Noon could so easily have been a film to roll your eyes up to heaven with. Thankfully it turns out to be a non pretentious, non moralistic mess that entertains those looking for a comedy that just wants to cheer you up. Jackie Chan as Chon Wang (say that real fast to get the joke) opens up his bag of martial arts joviality and impresses as much as he amuses (check out the horse shoe set piece). While Owen Wilson as O'Bannon leaves behind some previous stinker pictures, to engage us royally as a comedy actor and provide us with dynamite chemistry playing off the charming wonder of Chan (the sequel was inevitable). With both men clearly happy to run with it and let each one share the limelight.It's a positive delight is what it is, blustering set pieces go hand in hand with cheeky in-jokes and Western genre standards, whilst the end credit out takes are some of the funniest out there. Highly recommended viewing to those in need of a pick me up and to those who know that sometimes harmless fun can be a cinematic treat. 7/10
