Profile of Shanghai Noon

The mood of Shanghai Noon is exciting, humorous, and witty. The plot centers around unlikely partners, an odd couple, and a "fish out of water". It features slapstick humor. Shanghai Noon is a comedy, action, and adventure movie. Stylistically, it features martial arts. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. The pacing of Shanghai Noon is fast. It happens in the Old West and in the 19th century. The movie is known for being critically acclaimed. Shanghai Noon is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Summary of Shanghai Noon

An action-comedy with a decidedly Western twist, Shanghai Noon features more acrobatics from superstar Jackie Chan. Chon Wang (Chan) is a dedicated member of the Chinese Imperial Guard. When the emperor's former captain, Lo Fong (Yuan), oversees an illegal operation that involves kidnapping Princess Pei Pei (Liu) and bringing her to America's wild West, it's up to Chong to save the day. Eventually partnering with the wise-cracking bandit Roy O'Bannon (Wilson), Chong uses his Eastern skills to tackle the wild West. Shanghai Noon is an high-kicking adventure with great comic chemistry between stars Chan and Wilson.

Critics Reviews

Variety
This enjoyable East-meets-Western likely will succeed on its own terms as a sure-fire, long-legged crowd-pleaser.
The New York Times
A refreshing movie that's so good natured, so confident of its ability to provoke not queasy awe or numb exhaustion but pure delight.
