Shanghai Noon (2000)



Similar. Average. Comedy. (SAC)

Final Verdict: This movie is just a repeat of the Rush Hour series, albeit with a different comedian (Owen Wilson) and a different setting. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad movie; Jackie Chan and Wilson both perform their parts well, but it's just not original. In fact, it's so unoriginal it's almost insulting. I did enjoy the film for its merits however, and it's a fun way to spend a couple hours. Just don't expect anything new.

Spoiler(s): [Insert Rush Hour 1, 2, or 3 spoiler]

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 78%
