This review is from: Shanghai Noon (VHS Tape)

a cowboy/outlaw type and jackie chan team up to save the chinese princess.jackie chan gives his best ever performance here.problem is ,hes followed around by this gay cowboy who talks too much.if thata not bad enough,he talks like a modern day gay guy and not a cowboy at all.ive never seen a cowboy more in touch with his feminine side.owen wilson?or something like that.he is very obnoxious.there are many good fight scenes.i dont know why this one wasnt a bigger hit.they made asequel based in england but it totaly sucked.

This review is from: Shanghai Noon (DVD)

This is good, silly entertainment. It's for the days when you don't want to think much about what's going on, and don't want to watch movies where people undress.

That's about all, though. Owen Wilson's wide-eyed naivete was over-used, and Chan's athleticism and physical comedy were under-used. The plot was adequate to keep the characters moving and to alternate between bad guys every now and then. Still, it's not the kind of movie that will keep you up late with its deep philosophy - or even with its bad puns.

Perhaps the funniest scene is the bathtub drink-off (no nudity, lots of bubbles). On the second thought, maybe it was the bloopers during the final credits.

If you're determined to watch something but can't find anything good on, maybe this is what you wanted. Set your expectations properly, and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Funny and Highly Entertaining Film!, May 8 2004

By

classicmoviefan (Rancho Mirage, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shanghai Noon (DVD)

I am usually drawn to drama, classic cinema or film noir as opposed to modern comedies, mainly because most seem to rely on profanity, toilet humor or obnoxious characterizations. A good friend recommended "Rush Hour" and I immediately knew I was going to become a Jackie Chan fan... I then got "Rush Hour 2" and then this film....... how refreshing to watch a film high on action, loaded with comedy and having so much genuine humor. ALL the lead actors in the film were wonderful in their parts. No weak areas here. This is NOT "Gone With the Wind", but as zany and wonderful comedy, it's a modern classic in my book.

The photography and the transfer is superb by the way.. and cinemeatographer should be commended for the beautiful work. Also excellent was the music score that was consistantly appropriate...... although the popular songs leaned towards the "rap" audience and I thought a few modern country artists might have worked better here... not to worry, the pop music did not get in the way of the overall quality of the film.

This is a terrific and charming film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny!
Shangai Noon is one of those movies that doesn't get a lot of praise, but is hilarious. Owen Wilson does a great job at playing a cowboy who isn't that good. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Really funny!
Pairing Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson together may seem the most unlikely thing to do since color televisions were first invented. Read more
