I'm a bachelor for the week, so a friend and I have been passing the time playing old games (Nintendo 64!!) and watching old movies. Yesterday, we watched Shanghai Noon, the 2000 western/comedy starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.
Shanghai Noon is the story of Chon Wang (Chan), who leaves China and travels to Nevada in the 1850s to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Luci Liu). In the process, he ends up partnered with Roy O'Bannon (Wilson), an incompetent cowboy outlaw. Hilarity ensues- sometimes.
I like both Wilson and Chan, and enjoyed their chemistry on-screen, but overall this didn't do it for me. The fight scenes, comedy, and suspense were all second-rate. I'd skip this one.
Rating: C
