Shanghai Knights (2003) 6/10

Starring : Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Fann Wong, Aaron Johnson, Aidan Gillen, Tom Fisher, Donnie Yen
Director : David Dobkin
Running Time : 114 mins

Chon Wang (Chan) discovers that his father has been murdered by Chinese rebels, and his sister Lin (Wong) has gone after them in search of revenge! He follows her to London with his trusty sidekick Roy O’Bannon (Wilson) to prevent her from making any life threatening mistakes, but together the group discover a terrible plot to destroy the Royal family.

Not Jackie Chan’s finest moment, but nowhere near his worst, this movie pretty much relies on bad jokes and racist comments about the English to carry it through nigh on two hours of silliness. Still, I did enjoy it, just not as much as Shanghai Noon.
