This is a pretty funny movie. Owen Wilson is very funny (as always) and works great together with Jackie Chan. Um... since I haven't seen this movie in a while, in the words of Porky Pig, that's all folks.

Shanghai Noon is a hilarious western comedy with a great plot and set of actors. I thought that Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson made a great pair that was perfect for this film. The main plot in this film begins when Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu) of the Forbidden City in China being kidnapped and taken to America. Three Imperial Guards (Rongguang Yu, Ya Hui Cui, and Eric Chen) and the Royal Interpreter (Henry O) are sent to bring pay the ransom and get the princess back. Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) is sent as a servant because he is the Royal Interpreter's nephew. Meanwhile, Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), leader of a group of bandits, is overthrown by the newest member of the gang. Roy and Chon keep meeting each other by chance and eventually become partners (after Roy hears about the gold reward for the princess). After a long adventure, Chon and Roy are able to stop the kidnapper and former Imperial Guard, Lo Fong (Roger Yuan) and save the princess, who ends up deciding not to go back to China after all. This movie is great for all people who like westerns and/or comedies.
