Shanghai Noon

Shanghai Noon

Year; 2000

Director; Tom Fey

Starring; Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Lucy Liu

In the late 1800’s, Princess Pei Pei (Liu) is seduced into escaping the Chinese Royal Palace for America, only to find that she is a captive of a Chinese traitor, being held for ransom.  Four Imperial Guards are sent to save her, and the Chinese also send Imperial Oaf Chong Wang (Chan) in hopes that he will get lost.  The Code of the West has never been so damn funny.

Quotable line; “Roy, we jist blew the shit out of our fruits!”

Rating; One and a half thumbs up!
