Customer Reviews of Shanghai Knights
The Best Comedy I Have Seen In a Very Long Time! Most people, who I've talked to about the 'Shanghai' movies, liked the second one but not as much as the first. However, never having seen the first one, I loved the second!
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson are indefinitely an unlikely pair, but their comedic timing is flawless! The script is also very funny, with historical references to events and people such as: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, The American Revolution and Charlie Chaplin.
Good comedies are hard to come by, mostly because it is far too easy to simply make a painfully stupid movie and call it funny. But 'Shanghai Knights' is funny in an intelligent, well thought-out way. Its characters are bumbling and flighty, but not annoying or profane. The aging Chan should be proud that his Karate chops are still on target, but the action comes second in this witty laugh-fest, taking a backseat to the punch lines of the movie's numerous jokes.
I absolutely loved it, and although I probably will see the first, I obviously don't consider it a necessity.
Rush Shanghai Hour Tuxedo Knights 2
First of all, I'm the biggiest dang Jackie Chan fan in THE WORLD! And that's why I'm starting to become a bit angry with the roles Hollywood give Jackie, because their all exactly the same. Ever since the success of the hilarious and fresh pairing of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in 1998's surprise hit Rush Hour, Hollywood just hasn't been able to see that Jackie Chan is multi talented, and can do many more types of films besides buddy buddy action comedies.
1. Owen Wilson is a funny guy, but he doesn't even come close to Chris Tucker.
2. In Shanghai Knights Chon Wang and Roy O' Bannon have a little cross country adventure...... Uh, didn't I already see something like that in Rush Hour 2?
3. In Shanghai Noon Chon's uncle is killed, he wants revenge. Now in the sequel his father has been killed, he wants revenge again! Geez, can these writers come up with anything new?
4. Cancel Shanghai Dawn.
5. Chris Tucker is Jackie's original and best buddy period.
Oh God, and I don't even wanna mention the dreadful "Tuxedo", wich featured Jackie's worst co star yet, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
But please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Shanghai Knights very much, all I'm saying is...... It's nothing I haven't seen a billion times before.
GIVE JACKIE A NEW ROLE!
Not as good or funny as Shanghai Noon...
This movie was o.k. but I didn't care for it as much as I did Shanghai Noon. In Shanghai Noon I couldn't stop laughing but I didn't find that I laughed but a time or two in Shanghai Knights. The bloopers at the end gave me many more laughs then the actual movie did. I thought the vase scene was way to fake & didn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't plan on watching it again. To be honest, I just saw the movie yesterday & can't remember most of it. It's just not a movie that's going to stick with you. I'd say skip this movie.
