a5c7b9f00b When a Chinese rebel murders Chon&#39;s estranged father and escapes to England, Chon and Roy make their way to London with revenge on their minds. When a Chinese rebel murders Chon&#39;s estranged father and escapes to England, Chon and Roy make their way to London with revenge on their minds. Chon&#39;s sister, Lin, has the same idea, and uncovers a worldwide conspiracy to murder the royal family but almost no one will believe her. This movie was amazing! Some of Chan&#39;s best choreography and stunts in years. This movie was better than &quot;Shanghai Noon,&quot; and leaps and bounds better than Chan&#39;s last movie, the horribly mediocre &quot;The Tuxedo.&quot; Owen Wilson is also hilarious with his laid-back, nonchalant attitude towards everything, along with his skirt-chasing antics. This is a fun movie, and should hold you over until Rush Hour 3. This second part is a follow up of¨Shangai noon¨with the likable starring(Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson) who are going to London for retrieve a brilliant royal object that Jackie Chan&#39;s father was guarding in the forbidden city Pekin when he was murdered.They know to Victoria queen (Gemma Jones) and a roguish street boy called Charles Chaplin.They&#39;ll confront against the villain(Aidan Gillen and Donnie Yen) which want overthrow the British and China thrones and nasties Boxers Chinese and even Jack the Ripper(Oliver Cotton). Meanwhile Owen Wilson falls in love with Chan&#39;s sister(Fam Wong).<br/><br/>Chan and Wilson make a jolly and perfect couple. It&#39;s habitual in Chan films create duos, a ¨buddy movie¨type, such 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. The choreography fights are excellent ,they are mademusical numbers, there are a remembrance to dancing¨singing in the rain¨as wellHarold LLoyd,Keistone cops and to the author Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes. It&#39;s an agreeable picture but uneven comedy,works better when Jackie Chan goes into the action.It&#39;s a Chan vehicle for the continued struggles in bounds and leaps. 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) is spectacular and atmospheric. Production set is extraordinary, it&#39;s very well designed 1887 London epoch. the pic is rightly directed by David Dobkin. Rating:Nice and bemused . It's a gimcrack assemblage of gags, action scenes, favorite moments from the first hit and diorama-like views of high and low Victorian culture.
