This second part is a follow-up to ¨Shangai noon¨with the likeable starring(Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson) . When the killers murder Chon's estranged father he flees. He goes London to retrieve a brilliant royal object that Jackie Chan's father guarded in the forbidden city Pekin when he was murdered by some Chinese rebels . Roy also escapes to England, and he and Chon make their way to London with revenge on their minds. And Chon's sister, Lin, has the same idea. They meet Victoria queen (Gemma Jones) and a roguish street boy called Charles Chaplin . They'll confront the villains (Aidan Gillen and Donnie Yen) which want to overthrow the British and China thrones and nasty Chinese Boxers and even Jack the Ripper (Oliver Cotton). Meanwhile, Owen Wilson falls in love with Chan's sister (Fam Wong).

Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson give a jolly and perfect couple . It's usual in Chan films create duos , a ¨buddy movie¨ type , as male : Chris Tucker (Rush hour I and II) , as female : Jennifer Love Hewitt (the Tuxedo) and Claire Forlani (The medallion) and here magnificently with Wilson . Here they uncover a worldwide conspiracy to murder the royal family but almost no one will believe them . The choreographic fights are excellent , they are made as musical numbers, there are remembrances to ¨singing in the rain¨dancing as well as Harold Lloyd , Keistone cops and to author Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes creation . It's an agreeable picture but uneven comedy, works better when Jackie Chan goes into the action . It's a Chan vehicle for the continuous struggles in leaps and bounds .The final confrontation among the starring and the enemies on the Thames river with fireworks background and in the Big clock tower are overwhelming and breathtaking . Cinematography (Adrian Biddle) and music (Randy Edelman) are spectacular and atmospheric. Production set is extraordinary, it's very well designed along London epoch . The picture was rightly directed by David Dobkin. Rating : Nice and bemusing .

It's 1887. In the Forbidden City, Lord Rathbone (Aidan Gillen) kills Chon Wang's estranged father, the keeper of the Imperial Seal. Rathbone is in league with rebel Wu Chow. Chon Wang's sister Chon Lin (Fann Wong) fails to protect the Seal and promises to retrieve it. Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) is the sheriff in Carson City, Nevada. He rejoins Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) and finds that he has lost all of their money. They make their way to London to find Wang's sister. Rathbone is scheming to get the royal crown. They find Lin in jail after a failed attempt to kill Rathbone. Wang vows to avenge his father's death.

It still has the great Jackie Chan stunts. More than ever, he is dancing rather than fighting. What makes it truly fun is his great chemistry with Owen Wilson. They are still terrific together. The story isn't anything to write home about. The movie is great with Owen joking around and Jackie jumping around. However it is problematic in between the funny moments.

In this really fun sequel, Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) go to England to stop an assassin from killing Queen Victoria at her royal jubilee, and they meet many famous Brits of the era (e.g., Jack the Ripper). Like the first movie, "Shanghai Knights" is a litany of hilarious, chop-socky, buddy comedy-action flick, with Jackie Chan throwing punches in every direction. True, almost everything in the movie is an anachronism, but that's OK since this is a goofy comedy. This movie equalled its predecessor just as "Rush Hour 2" equalled its predecessor. Really fun.

A movie star named Chon Wang. Could work.
