Shanghai Noon

shanghainoon


Directed by Tom Dey
Written by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough
Rated PG-13 for Action violence, some drug humor, language and sensuality

Cast:

Owen Wilson as Roy O'Bannon
Jackie Chan as Chon Wang
Lucy Liu as Princess Pei Pei
Brandon Merrill as Falling Leaves
Roger Yuan as Lo Fong
Xander Berkeley as Nathan Van Cleef

When Princess Pei Pei is kidnapped and brought back to America by the evil Lo Fong, the Imperial Guard is sent from the Forbidden City to bring her back. Chon Wang volunteers his service because he blames himself for her capture and accompanies the Guards to America. Once there he eventually meets up with Roy O'Bannon, a not so bright outlaw, and begins a series of dangerous tasks to bring back the Princess.

This was an entertaining movie up to a point then somethings were just boring and moronic. I think Jackie Chan is trying to be too serious in an action/comedy flick that is supposed to be campy. It's a good film for the family.


Rating: 2 1/2 of 5 stars
