Summary: Don't Listen to the Movie Critics, Get This!
Review: Jackie Chan is a great martial artist, stuntmaster, and comedian? Of course he is all of them! In most cases, good martial artists aren't Jerry Seinfield; look at Bruce Lee for example. This movie is one of the top three funniest films of all time in my opinion along with "Rush Hour" and "Spaceballs." It has very funny sequences and not to mention action-packed. The movie also has crazy stunts which is normal in a Jacki Chan movie, and Owen Wilson makes the movie more... Let's just say interesting. The fight scenes look realistic, except for the style, and the acting is well done.The movie is about an imperial guard (Chan) along with a relative of his and a few of their best men trying to find the Princess of China (Liu) and go to the US neogiating a ransom deal. I highly recommend this movie beause the characters are stuck in some deep sh** and the outcome is funny. Screw the movie critics who say that it's bad blah blah and it has a bad storyline yadda yadda and it's not funny and the movie didn't let him be himself and all that crap because they have no idea what a good movie is, don't like Chan because 60% of the critics are classified as a beached whale from all that snacking, don't get any of the jokes because they don't know what they mean, or are just dumb. Watch the bloopers, a registered trademark of Chan!

Summary: Vintage Jackie
Review: Jackie Chan's movie is never a thinking movie but a movie that entertains, & letting the viewers having a great time to be savoured with the loved ones. I always liked to watch his movie in VCD or even DVD as they enable us to watch his stunts in slow motion or rewatch the scenes again & again. What's deceptively simple is always been rehearsed couple of times as shown towards the closing credit of the movie. Jackie's Asian movies used to be more intense but he's no longer 20 years old but a seasoned actor & stuntman of 46 years old. Only by achieving his stardom in Hollywood that he's able to prolonging his career as he admitted in his autobiography, "I Am Jackie Chan". Shanghai Noon captured the magical chemistry between 2 buddies ie. Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Mel Gibson & Danny Glover in Lethal Weapons. Both Jackie & Owen are likeable characters & their performances were seamless. Don't be too fussy over the plots but just enjoy the roller coaster ride. Buster Keaton would have been proud of Jackie.

Summary: Jackie meets the Zen cowboy-- great fun!
Review: We love Jackie Chan, but after a while the formula gets a little tired in spite of Chan's great sense of humor and stunts. Frankly, we weren't expecting more than a little Saturday diversion when we all mosied out to Shanghai Noon. What a great show! It was hilarious from start to finish. Plus Jackie did a great job poking a little bit of fun at our American lack of cultural or geographical sense. The masterpiece though was casting Owen Wilson as the "good-bad-guy", a cowboy with a sense of Zen about him. Owen was a perfect match opposite Chan. This film achieved character chemistry all the Wild Wild West should have had but didn't. Favorite scene-- of course it had to be the "drinking games" while in the bath house. This film marked a bit of new creative new-genre thinking for the Jackie Chan films. It's on my wish list for Christmas-- if you don't want one, pick it up for us!

Summary: Chan's best American movie - UNO MÁS por favor
Review: Being the wizened old sod that I am, having passed my 30th year here on Earth, I can remember the bad old days when Jackie Chan was trying so desperately to break into the European and American markets - I can remember watching such 'Westernised' tosh as the Cannonball movies, Battle Creek Brawl and (shudder) The Protector and then comparing them to the Police Story and Drunken Master classics. I can remember sitting through the pirated, badly dubbed, piss poor videos which made watching, and enjoying, a Jackie Chan film a real chore. Thankfully this is now changing with most of his back catalogue now available on dvd - although the audio and visual quality of some of these titles are a bit hit and miss. I consider myself a pretty ardent J.C. fan and I can say, without reservation, that Shanghai Noon is his best American movie by quite a long way. Many will argue that Rush Hour is superior but stand the two side-by-side and after repeat viewings - which is a must for any Chan flick - S.N. stands head and shoulders above it's counterpart in terms of story, script, action, cinematography, direction.... need I say more? Special mention must go to Owen Wilson who exudes the type of charisma and wit the likes of Chris Tucker and his ilk can only dream of. The onscreen chemistry between the two is genuinely engaging which is surprising considering they didn't exactly get on when shooting first began. Also a quick mention to first time director Tom Dey who manages to keep everything rolling along at a healthy pace while allowing time for some priceless interludes (drinking game, cowboy training). If you don't leave the cinema with a smile on your face you've either forgotten what going to the movies is all about or you died in your seat midway through it. Role on the inevitable sequel - UNO MÁS as Jackie would say with a mouth full of bubble bath.

Summary: Chan-Tastic
Review: Jackie Chan gives a really funny performance in this movie that is set in the old west. The Kung-Fu scenes are very toned down in this film. Maybe so that it will be a more family film or maybe Chan just can't do things he used to. Owen Wilson is very funny and the two make a good partner ship. A much better movie then Jet Li's last hollywood appearance in Romeo Must Die. Chan proves that he may have a career in Comedy if he gets too old for his big stunts.

Summary: A western with a kick in the pants
Review: The movie that Wild Wild West tried to be last, this one is a great buddy movie. And I heard that there was going to be a sequel, and it deserves a sequel. it was probably the last good movie of the summer of 2000, that and X-men. So in conclusion buy Shanghai Noon.

Summary: Best Western Yet!
Review: Not being in any way a fan of Westerns, I wasn't sure I'd get anything out of this film, except for the joy of watching yet more Chan set-pieces. However, I loved every minute! East meets West really does work - anyone who doesn't believe should give it a try! In my opinion, there's no comparison with Rush Hour - I loved them both, for very different reasons. This is light-weight, improbable, slap-stick humour for anyone in the mood for a bit of a laugh and some great fun kung fu and highly amusing gun fight scenes.
