60 of 84 · most liked firstI consider any movie I watch around Christmas to be a Christmas movie. I like to watch Shanghai Noon this time of year, so now it’s a Christmas movie. Agent Cody Banks. Xanadu. Waiting to Exhale. They’re all my Christmas movies.

Actor from Pop culture Film&TV (Mommie Dearest,T2, Air Force One, Apollo 13,Gatacca,Shanghai Noon - 24, Nikita, The Walking Dead) to Indie Art Film (Sid & Nancy, SAFE, Leaving Las Vegas, Candyman, and a couple hundred others:).🤷🏻😅✌️LibDem 4 evr
neutral · AI labelView post →There's an interview I swear I read once, I wish I could find it, I just want proof I didn't imagine it, where some comedian claimed that "Shanghai Noon" ruined film comedy because Owen Wilson was allowed to adlib his way through it.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's used in Last Action Hero! Toward the end, bad guy has a revolver and is shooting at Schwarzenegger keeping him pinned down. Gun goes click. "Did you make the classic movie mistake? You forgot to reload!" "No, I just left one chamber empty." *Blam* With the voice, it's used in Shanghai Noon. Kinda. Owen Wilson attempts to make the bad guy believe he is reloading (despite being entirely out of ammo), but it doesn't work.
neutral · AI labelView post →Mine are from movies which you wouldn’t expect to get sage advice **Shanghai Noon** “That which you promised, you must perform”. Jackie Chan’s character says this at one point and it really stuck with me since I was a child. It’s a broken English version of “your word is your bond”. I never promise something to someone that I can’t accomplish. It does drive some people I know a little crazy. **Just Married**…

neutral · AI labelView post →What was the last good movie Jackie Chan starred in? Not a cameo or a voice role, I mean he was the star of the film. I've got a line in my script that he hasn't starred in a good movie since 2000's Shanghai Noon, but I feel like I must be overlooking something...
neutral · AI labelView post →**Avatar** (2009) 4/5 - I've changed my opinion on this quite a bit as I've moved away from the release. Sure the plot is simple, but honestly with all the crazy shit going on around it, it's fine. The technology innovations you can see on screen are just stunning even 15 years later **If I had Legs I'd Kick You** 3/5 - Parent anxiety simulator! I don't have kids and couldn't quite connect with it. I'd be interested to hear how other people interpreted the "rodents are resilient creatures"…
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Shanghai Noon recently (the movie where Jackie Chan is a Chinese cowboy called "Chon Wang") and it got me thinking, there's such an interesting alt history there if the US was just a bit less racist
neutral · AI labelView post →As everything is super-grim today, please enjoy this fun fact: despite being a film critic, it took me about nine solid months to realise SHANGHAI NOON was a play on HIGH NOON.
neutral · AI labelView post →Owen Wilson in BOTTLE ROCKET talks about Starsky and Hutch and then went on to play Hutch in a movie version; in SHANGHAI NOON, he plays a western outlaw and then a year later in THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS plays a city kid who cosplays as a western type.
neutral · AI labelView post →If just one of those kids had seen the Jackie Chan film Shanghai Noon, they would have known how to do that with a piss-soaked t-shirt. I blame the parents.

neutral · AI labelView post →17. Shanghai Noon (2000 movie) I'mma just say that Jackie Chan's chemistry with Owen Wilson is just as great as his chemistry with Chris Tucker (though the later is still superior imo). It's just a super fun movie even if some elements are hardly used in said movie. 4/5
positive · AI labelView post →I was today years old when I realised that Shanghai Noon has "high noon" in the title. That's such a good movie title!
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember reading a review of the Owen Wilson/Jackie Chan movie Shanghai Noon that said Wilson couldn't be more anachronistic if he were wearing a Hoobastank shirt and talking on a cell phone. That's the vibe I get from Denzel in the ads. Can't wait to see it.
neutral · AI labelView post →When I was in college a bunch of us went of see SHANGHAI NOON. Mostly empty theater. When the credits started, an usher came out and was like "hey do you want to stick around for a free test-showing of this other movie?" It was BATTLEFIELD EARTH, and it was fucking _hilarious_.
positive · AI labelView post →I keep having a dream where I have an overdue movie from Blockbuster just sort of sitting around. I think the movie is Shanghai Noon but I will need to check next time I dream about it.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the start for Owen. Then he did Armageddon and Shanghai Noon and became a big movie star. #cultshelf
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching this film after viewing Rumble in the Bronx a few nights ago probably didn't help my viewing experience for Shanghai Noon. I couldn't help but compare the two in terms of quality. #films #movies #filmsky #letterboxd #writingcommunity boxd.it/aJ32cp

neutral · AI labelView post →amusingly Jackie Chan martial arts comedies were very specifically a kind of movie my dad thought was respectable and showed me all the time he thought Shanghai Noon was GENIUS
positive · AI labelView post →Loved that one when it came out. While we're at it, honorable mention for Shanghai Noon. The Kung Fu elements are more diluted compared to much that's on this list, but it's a delightful film (and was my introduction to Owen Wilson -- he and Jackie make an excellent duo).
positive · AI labelView post →Shanghai Noon is such a great movie. :)
positive · AI labelView post →My hot take: Rush Hour was a shit movie for the lowest common denominator. Shanghai Noon was the superior film, with artistic heart, better action, and greater comedy.
positive · AI labelView post →Film-wise: at 9pm, Renfield on Film4, Funny Cow on Sky Comedy, Shanghai Noon on Comedy Central or Parker on Legend. At 10pm, Blades Of Glory on TLC. At 10.50pm, The Hunt on Film4. At 11pm, Bonnie & Clyde on BBC2. At 11.10pm, Beetlejuice on BBC3. At 11.20pm, Nick Of Time on Legend #telly

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched "Shanghai Noon" way too many times when I was young. When DVDs became popular, the local movie store was selling VHS tapes on the *cheap* (10 for $10 at some point), and I picked this one cuz I liked Jackie Chan. Watched it over and over again, especially during school breaks!
positive · AI labelView post →I do dance. Unrelated: have you ever seen the 2000s under rated cowboy buddy movie starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson titled: Shanghai Noon?
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally realized that the reason I recognized Walton Goggins from long ago was is because he was in Shanghai Noon, a movie I watched a million times as a child. With a face that unforgettable it feels like he’s always existed.
neutral · AI labelView post →There were a lot of those Sean William Scott pairs up with an action movie actor after Shanghai Noon was a hit
neutral · AI labelView post →Shanghai Noon A million jokes about cowboy Lightning McQueen aside this was a really fun movie that fits as both a kung fu film and a Western. There's a bit of an annoyance with fitting all of its characters into the plot but that's far from ruining the experience. 4.5/5

neutral · AI labelView post →28. Favourite movie Hard to say because I don't watch movies much, but I do love Shanghai Noon and 1988 Treasure Island (Soviet production)!
positive · AI labelView post →I also love classic martial arts movies. I first became a Jackie Chan fan watching his American films (mostly Shanghai Noon tbh), and a few years ago I made an effort to watch more of his Hong Kong films. Miracles: The Canton Godfather was a revelation, a 10/10 movie, I adore it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Any David Leitch movie. He’s quickly become one of my favorite action directors - brings a whole new focus to the genre when the director has experience as a stunt performer. Otherwise, I actually really like Shanghai Noon/Knights. I think it’s some of Jackie Chan’s best choreography.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone was trying to find the right formula to mix wire-fu and Hong Kong choreography into movies in the US, like Shanghai Noon. Somebody got the notion that The Three Musketeers was a good candidate, and this movie was born.
neutral · AI labelView post →Pick a movie, keep one actor, rest are Muppets: Who should be kept as human in "Shanghai Noon"?
neutral · AI labelView post →Same goes for me, watched Shanghai Noon as a kid, loved it, but seeing him as Mobius made me realise I loved Owen more than Jackie in that movie, I've always had a soft spot for him 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s really hard to make sense of the movie Shanghai Noon through a 2024 lens because the lady Jackie Chan accidentally marries has the most agency of any character in the film & is the most competent (Dea Ex Machinas him multiple times) but she’s also not named at all and credited as “Indian Wife”
neutral · AI labelView post →Closest real movie I can come up with is Shanghai Noon. It's not samurai, but it does have eastern martial arts in an old west setting.

neutral · AI labelView post →Keanu Reeves has the physicality and charm, but I just don't think it comes through, his action performances are too glum and serious. I can't imagine Keanu Reeves in a movie like Shanghai Noon or Rumble in the Bronx.
