Watch Shanghai Knights For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Crappy film

Shanghai Knights is a film directed by David Dobkin. I had seen Shanghai Noon some months ago and was entertained by it. Due to some reasons, I couldn't see the 2nd part. But after seeing it yesterday night, I was overjoyed.Plot: Chon Wang and Roy go to London to seek vengeance for murdering Chon's father. Story and direction: These are the kind of films that I love. For the full 114 minutes, I was highly entertained by this film. Not a single moment felt dull. The comedy for me was spot on. The writers have so correctly written the story that it cashes on the star-power of our protagonists correctly Also the fight scenes were so nicely choreographed. It is always a treat to watch Jackie Chan fight. A big salute from my side to his stunt team for making me believe that good and realistic stunts are possible in cinema. The stunts also feel done in one-shot which I is a big thanks to the editing team. The sets and costumes were awesome and life-like. Also some popular references to pop-culture were appreciated. About some flaws with the film, I would say that if you are considering as something will be great about the film story-wise, don't. There is nothing much to the story. Also I did feel that there were some historical inaccuracies, that angered me a lot. Performances: Jackie Chan will always have a special place in my heart. In this film too, he shows that not only he is dedicated to his stunts but also delivers a good performance. Owen Wilson also performs good as a "side-kick". Fann Wong was a good addition to the cast. Donnie Yen and Aidan Gillen proved to be quite good villains. Tom Fisher too provided some great support.Favorite Scene: It is always a treat for me to watch Jackie Chan fight. So, for me the favorite scene of the film would be the London Market fight scene. The scene is choreographed so nicely. The comedy also was spot on and Jackie Chan makes the stunts feel so easy.Verdict: I had a great time watching this film. My tie was very nicely utilized. This film is highly recommended for those who want to have a fun time and also are ardent action lovers and Jackie Chan fans.I am going with an 8/10.

The East meets the West again in this sequel, where British Parliament rebel Lord Rathbone (Aidan Gillen) murders Chon Wang's (Jackie Chan) estranged father (Kim Chan) and escapes to England with Wang's Imperial Seal. Chon teams up with Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) and sister Chon Lin (Faye Wong) to avenge his father's death and to uncover a plot to murder the royal family.This is another good old fashion western comedy featuring Chan's signature martial arts moves and Wilson's mellow and grandiose personality. The two make a rock-em, sock-em team as they take out bad guy after bad guy, and, put in the martial-arts-skilled Faye Wong in the mix, you got triple the action and fun.Like the first film, the plot is quick-paced, helped by the story's many adventures, cultural references and fast action. More subplots and supporting characters were added to the story such as a young Charlie Chaplin (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), which served as a touching antagonist-turned-sidekick to our three heroes. The Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper references served an interesting twist to the movie, as well as the appearance of Queen Victoria - all contributing to the grandiose and splendor of England back in that time. While I didn't care for Gillen as the lead villain, I enjoyed seeing Donnie Yen as the villainous Wu Chow more. His fight against Chan, pitting martial arts star against martial arts star, is a thrilling display of action cinema. The clash between the east and west cultures continue to be amusing and the slapstick humor and whimsical jokes from the cast made this a continuously entertaining feature.Grade B

Shanghai Knights is a sequel that is just as good as the original. I'm glad they made another movie featuring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson together. They had just as good chemistry as they did in the original. Even thought this took place in London, I still loved it.Chon Wang, now a sheriff, finds out that this father was murdered. He goes to England with his faithful sidekick to avenge the death of his father.The acting here is very good. Owen Wilson was really funny and Jackie Chan has some good attempts at humor. Jackie Chan still can kick major butt though.Overall, I had a good time watching this film. Too bad they are not making a third film. I rate this film 9/10.

The hilarious Jackie Chan & Owen Wilson action comedy "Shanghai Knights" captures the light-hearted lunacy of those classic Bob Hope western comedies "The Paleface" (1948) and "Son of Paleface" (1952). "In Shanghai Knights," our hapless heroes constantly make clowns of themselves in outrageous outfits, and barely have enough time to catch their breath because the cunning villains hold the upper hand. Indeed, the Alfred Gough and Miles Millar screenplay adheres to the familiar formulaic fracas about strangers-in-a-strange-land who find themselves out-manned as well as out-gunned and must navigate an arduous obstacle course of cliffhanger proportions. At the same time, Shanghai Knights" relies on saddle-sore clichés, such as the one about the bad guys who murder the protagonist's poor old pappy. Of course, the lead vows to punish them! Naturally, a priceless cultural treasure is at stake, too.Aside from some occasional profane language of a PG-13 variety, this lavishly-mounted, seriocomic melodrama boasts the best marital arts choreography of any American-made Jackie Chan movie, along with the presence of "Iron Monkey" star Donnie Yen. The computer-generated long shots of London, England, which approximate the look of the late 1880s, are impressive, while Adrian Biddle's stunning widescreen cinematography is a treat for the eyes. If you missed the original "Shanghai Noon" (2000), Shanghai Knights" catches you up about everything relevant to the narrative. Ultimately, what differentiates this 107-minute cowboys-in-England comedy from any recent farces is its reckless disregard for realism, historical veracity, and the laws of gravity. Nevertheless, "Clay Pigeons" director David Dobkin serves up this buffoonery with such consummate style that its clichés and conventions contribute to rather than detract from audience expectations.In "Shanghai Noon," a pint-sized but obedient Imperial Guardsman named Chon Wong (Jackie Chan of "Rush Hour") embarks on a cultural odyssey to the wild and woolly West to free a beautiful Chinese princess kidnapped by her tutor. Chon Wong (pronounced John Wayne) teams up with sympathetic 'Butch Cassidy' type outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson of "Bottle Rocket") after his gang of owl hoots double-cross him. Together, Chon and Roy rescue the heroine and vanquish the vile villains. As "Shanghai Knights" opens, Chon still wears the tin star as the sheriff of Carson City, Nevada. Meanwhile, Roy has headed back east to New York City and has written dime novels about his dubious exploits. Half-way around the world in distant China, an outcast Wu Chan (Donnie Yen) steals the Great Seal and stabs Chon's father in cold blood when the senior tries to stop him. Chon's gorgeous, heretofore unknown sister Chon Lin (Singapore-born actress-singer-model Fann Wong) wires Chon about his dad's death and pursues the villains to cosmopolitan London. Promoting his deputy to sheriff, Chon heads off to New York City to find Roy.Roy has made a mess of his life and earns his income as a lowly waiter. When our heroes arrive in England, they deal with a gallery of Charles Dickens type characters as well as some real-lifers. One of the more humorous scenes shows what happens when Jack the Ripper falls prey to a high-kicking martial arts babe. During the screwball shenanigans, Chon Wang and Roy O'Bannon meet Arthur Conan Doyle, before the author wrote the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, drop in on Queen Victoria, and foil an assassination. Talk about a whirlwind of events! Jackie Chan plays tribute to his all-time favorite comedians and dancers in "Shanghai Knights." Chan cavorts with an umbrella a la Gene Kelly in an imaginative homage to "Singing in the Rain," while he battles his assailants. Later, Chon dangles helplessly from the Big Ben clock tower like famed silent movie comedian Harold Lloyd did in "Safety Last" (1923). As Roy and Chon struggle to smuggle themselves out of New York, Jackie adroitly thwarts Gotham police dressed, appropriately enough for the era, like the Keystone Cops in a revolving hotel door. The way that our hero eludes and handcuffs the cops in the revolving door gag is priceless. When Chan isn't generating more than enough giddy-up in terms of his own unique acrobatic antics, Wilson indulges in his giddy-yap brand of verbal wit, spouting words and phrases coined in the 1960s that were never uttered in the 1880s. "Shanghai Knights" features modern-day music on its soundtrack as if to make this semi-kung fu western palatable for contemporary tastes. Altogether, as sequels go, "Shanghai Knights" surpasses "Shanghai Noon."
