Shanghai Knights (2003)

★★★☆☆

Chon Wang and Roy O’Bannon are at it again but this time it isn’t in the Wild West. A Chinese rebel kills chon’s estranged father and his sister tracks him down to Great Britain. Now Chon and Roy are off to Britain to avenge his death but while in Britain they discover that the rebel is in cahoots with a British Lord who wants to be king. They are then falsely accused of a crime and are racing against the clock to stop the two madmen. Much like the original Chan’s “humiliation fighting” is the real star of the show. It’s funny, it’s stupid and it’s a great sequel to beloved buddy comedy. Look for a hysterical scene involving fighting heroine Chon Lin and Jack the Ripper.
