Guest the golden dragon Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I saw this the other day and must admit it was pretty damn good. Was actually surprised. I thought it was better than the first one. Did you all like this outing as much as I did. Gd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beat TG Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The only things improved was Chan and Wilson as a buddy team and the overall humor, but action-wise the first movie was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Running Man Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I saw this the other day and must admit it was pretty damn good. Was actually surprised. I thought it was better than the first one. I agree. Not only is it his best American film by far, it's also his best film made in quite a long time. The biggest gripe is the idiot director who cut out a large portion of the fighting from it which is a shame, since it's among Jackie's best work in recent years as well.

Guest HungKuen Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The only things improved was Chan and Wilson as a buddy team and the overall humor, but action-wise the first movie was better. I'd say it's the other way around. Shanghai Noon was a great parody of the Western genre (and specifically the Charles Bronson/Toshiro Mifune movie Red Sun), and had some really funny scenes, but it was quite lacking in the action department. Shanghai Knights was just a tired rehash of Noon, only in a different setting, and downright embarassing to watch at times. However, Jackie obviously had a lot more time for the action scenes in that one. Too bad a lot of it was cut, but I'd say the uncut version of his fight against Donnie is one of his best fights in the last ten years. I guess Jackie needs to fight worthy opponents, instead of all those popstar-protegés of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hardz Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm so glad the dvd contained the uncut fight scenes. Can't understand why the director trimmed so much good stuff for the final release ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
