Saw Shanghai Knights this afternoon - the sequel to Shanghai Noon. You can’t beat a good Jackie Chan movie. This one is no exception - there are a couple of not-quite-right characters, but the whole thing is so deliberately cheesy anyway that it can be forgiven. Aiden Gillen is really wanting to be Alan Rickman quite badly, and the kid is a litte *too* much of an Oliver! extra (with a disturbing Clockwork Orange undertone - that hat, that hair, those freckles). There is a fight scene early on in a marketplace with a sequence using umbrellas that is particularly cool and choreographed. Owen Wilson is excellent too - when I first saw Shanghai Noon, I didn’t really like him much, but I’ve seen a bunch of his other films now, and he’s really grown on me. Bottle Rocket (starring Owen and Luke Wilson) was one of my favourite films of those I saw last year.
