A film like 'Shanghai Noon' proves that you can take a serious and benchmark setting like the Western genre that has had hits and misses across decades, and take a more light-hearted and humorous approach, thats exactly what likeable starsA film like 'Shanghai Noon' proves that you can take a serious and benchmark setting like the Western genre that has had hits and misses across decades, and take a more light-hearted and humorous approach, thats exactly what likeable stars Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson bring to the table in this comedy-action film, a flick that has all the makings of a martial arts marvel with the perfect setting of the Old West to set up a fish out of water story that sparkles from beginning to end. Jackie Chan plays a curious and bumbling Imperial guard called Chon Wang in ancient Forbidden City China, where he hears the high princess (Lucy Liu) over-talkning to an unknown man about leaving the country to go to America, when this happens, Chon and a small number of other guards are sent America to retrieve the princess, where Chon runs into notorious outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), a witty and fast-talking cowboy who robs trains and longs after pretty women, but he messes with the wrong guard, and the two soon form an unlikely and uneasy alliance to retrieve the Princess, while Roy seems to be in it for the gold that is part of the exchange, as it is revealed to be an abduction of sorts.
The film plays to its key strengths which are the two leads of Chan and Wilson, its entertaining and awe-inspiring to watch Jackie Chan move seamlessly around the screen, taking out various enemies with his martial arts background, theses scenes rely on environmental cues which work brilliantly so as we don't have an endless amount of mirrored action sequences, with this comes Wilson, who provides an excellent amount of comical timing as man who tries to reason and talk his way out of everything, setting up a few funny encounters with Marshal Van Cleef (Xander Berkeley), who is after him. Many homages can be found to some of the best Western of the ages, proving that the film has a healthy respect for its roots, but also showing confidence in what sort of film it tries to be, not too serious but certainly enough drama to keep us entertained.
This is a wild and action-packed thrill of a film, it has some truly funny scenes and has some excellent martial arts moments with the undeniably energetic and charismatic Chan, but Owen Wilson cannot be left out of that equation, bringing his undeniable charm and witty persona to team up with the "Shanghai Kid", which has plenty of nods to buddy cop films but truly stands well on its own two feet.… Expand

A great film. It's funny, has good story and it's funny. The pace is perfect and has really good character development. Films with a premise like this are typically quite cliché and shallow, but this manages to keep it exciting.

It has a lot of funny moments and great performances from Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan. Even with a short story to tell with a few plot holes, it is a fun movie.

Amigooooooooo! Muy buena la película. Siempre creí que la forma de pelear de una persona en la vida cotidiana se asemejaba más a la de Jackie Chan que a la de otros actores de acción.

Son dos horas que se pasan rápido y la verdad que Jackie Chanactúa muy bien, se nota que siempre se toma el trabajo en serio. En una entrevista vi que decía que la mayoría de las piruetas y escenas de riesgo las hacía el mismo.
Por otro lado, Owen Wilson tampoco estuvo mal, pero es clásico papel de él. Una peli en la que actúo que lo vi bastante serio fue de tras de las líneas enemigas. No está mal y él se lleva la película.
En cuanto a esta tiene alguna que otra cosa que no tienes sentido, pero no quiero explayarme por un tema que no quiero entrar en spoilers. Vestuario óptimo, linda fotografía y personajes de relleno, a los que le sobran minutos de pantalla. Vamo a ve que nos depara la segunda!… Expand

Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson are truly a pair of jokers; their considerable chemistry, combined with Jackie Chan's signature martial arts moves, are enough to overshadow the lackluster aspects of the plot.
