"Shanghai Noon" is a very funny movie. Starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, the action takes place in the Old West back in the late 1800's. Chan plays Chon Wang, a member of the Chinese Imperial Guard who must come to the United States in order to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei-Pei, played by Lucy Liu. Along the way he meets a train robber, Roy O'Bannon, played by Wilson. The two keep running into each other and decide to ride together in the quest to save the princess.
The movie succeeds because of its funny jokes and scenes. Chan and Wilson are a great team who are able to get the audience roaring in laughter. I recommend this movie to everyone and urge people to not leave when the movie is over. There are about 5 minutes of out-takes after the end that are hilarious.
Rated PG-13 for action violence, some drug humor, language, and sensuality. 110 minutes.
