Shanghai Noon/Knights

Misfit · 03-18-2004, 04:15 PM

I can't be the only fan of these movies can I? I just bought them both on DVD today and I love them. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson are so great together, although I do have to say I think Chan is losing his edge/charm a bit now. But the movies are still awesome. I actually enjoy Shanghai Knights better, I laugh more at it especially at all the references to people like Charlie Chaplin and Jack the Ripper. The best scene by far in SK is when Chon Lin meets Jack the Ripper and pushes him over the bridge. Her line there is classic and dear God, Fann Wong is AWESOME, better than Lucy Liu IMHO, although Lucy is cool too.

Shanghai Noon is great too. I love that scene where Roy and his gang are robbing the train and they have that new guy who keeps messing up and Roy's like "where'd we get this guy?!". Ha.

Anyone else want to discuss?

I love Jackie Chan but Shanghai Noon was not very good imo. He has done way better movies.

Seen Shanghai Noon and that was cool, Owen Wilson helped too. Glad to see Jackie Chan still pulling off some amazing tricks like the chain thing

Chan is the man!

What did you expect? The guy turns 50 on April 7. He's lost a lot of endurance. Plus, all the injuries he's had for over 30 years is slowing him down. But to still pull off amazing stunts to this day, and do 2 movies with Chris Tucker, that's paranormal.

Me, I would've retired.

Jackie Chan...the Mick Foley of martial arts.

Rush hour is another of my favorites. (I haven't seen Rush Hour 2, yet, though. :/ )
