because we are all able to think on our own. I am looking forward to another sequel: SHANGHAI PIRATES......or....SHANGHAI ROBOTS.....or even.....SHANGHAI ANGELS.....really its not my decision. i dont think it is jackie and owen rock!

installment was good and I enjoyed the story I also enjoyed how Chon's younger sister was in it along with her own Ninja moves. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the fact that it didn't have a lot of fighting action in this one then the first, I'm not saying it was bad, but it didn't have that much Chan action therefore I give it a 9. But it makes for a great sequel, and if they do make a third one, I hope it will be good too. 9/10 for Shanghai Knights

unfold at a fast pace, each plot turn funnier and more implausible than the last. Owen taunts a stoic sentry outside Buckingham Palace, insults the British about their accent and loss of the American Colonies, is bewildered by spotted dick, and becomes the funniest Ugly American tourist in Victorian England.The physically adept Chan is often dazzling; his carefully choreographed martial-arts movements are almost balletic at times and recall Charlie Chaplin, who, played by Aaron Johnson, has a small but critical part in the film. But even beyond Chan, the film overflows with sight gags and slapstick; references to silent comedy emerge throughout, and a revolving fireplace and a wax museum recall Abbott and Costello routines. Chan and Wilson work together like a polished comedy team. Although Owen has most of the best lines and Chan most of the best action, Chan is more than a straight man and has some comedic moments of his own. While lovely Fann Wong as Cho's baby sister, not to be confused with baby sitter, and Tom Fisher as Artie Doyle, a would-be writer of detective novels, have their moments, the film belongs to Chan and Owen. The script by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who also wrote "Shanghai Noon," is full of priceless lines, and the score by Randy Edelman incorporates several pop songs that provide amusing background to the frantic action. Director David Dobkin maintains a frenetic pace that will hold viewers' attention throughout the nearly two-hour running time. "Shanghai Knights" is that rare film that will leave viewers sorry to see end and wanting more.

was in London waiting for her brother to arrive, since she followed Rathbone, the guy who murdered her and Wang's father. The problem is: Rathbone is a member of the Royal family.

be fun, while not always correct. But, when you go see an action comedy, you don't expect historical accuracy, right? Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson have what most duos don't: chemistry. They work well together, and they play off each other. Wilson's rambling tirades about the differences between America and Britain, and his constant bashing of England are hilarious. The action pieces are top notch, and as I already mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised to find an actual story.It started off as an action/drama film with a few gags in it, then develops into humor where you're not just amused, you chuckle, then as the film progresses you start laughing out loud. It gets funnier as it goes along, as well as becomes more dramatic.A great film, immensely entertaining. I give it an eight, simply because it's no Star Wars, LOTR, or Gettysburg, but it's definately better than most of the junk floating around these days, and will most likely find it's way to my small DVD collection devoid of comedies for the most part, DVDs are expensive, so I only buy movies I really really like, mostly three hour dramas. ; .

in the second `Harry Potter' the eye is purely architecture. I love it when that happens, but even in that case, the characters and the environment are separate. Not so here.Here, they let the movie flow as a collaboration between Chan and primary cinematographer Biddle and his art direction crew . Biddle introduces us to a space with lots of elements, then he manages the `ubiquitous eye' to help us see Chan USE that environment, choreographically merging with it.Plus the self-referential touches that I like: there is specific mention of that ubiquitous eye in the story. In fact, there are lots of self-referential bits: the two as ersatz Butch and Sundance but written by Butch, in fact Butch and Sundance as ersatz Beatles who are also referenced here. There's stuff about wax characters and moviemaking and writing again. There's a terrific `Singing in the Rain' number, and two homages to Charlie Chaplin, one as they are off to Hollywood.This isn't all that funny, nor exciting. But it was rewarding for this man with cinematic tastes.Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 4: Worth watching.
