	Shanghai Noon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Shanghai Noon is Chan's second United States' produced film, after the humongously successful Rush Hour, which helped to launch the career of Chris Tucker (sequels for Shanghai Noon and Rush Hour are already in the works).
		In Shanghai Noon, Chan again uses anything and everything around him as a weapon (from saplings to his hair) in a manner that is surprisingly nonviolent.
		Shanghai Noon may be fairly brainless, but it is very fun to watch.

		Shanghai Noon is a 2000 movie starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson as Chan's western sidekick.

	DVD REVIEW: SHANGHAI NOON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The similarity between the finale of George Roy Hill's 1969 masterpiece and "Shanghai Noon" is not coincidental.
		"Shanghai Noon" writers Gough and Millar borrow liberally from the Mel Gibson-Jodie Foster film, including a bathtub scene between Wang and O'Bannon that gets totally out of hand, and Indians who are smarter than their white (and in this case, Asian) counterparts.
		You might have seen it all before, yet "Shanghai Noon" is so slickly packaged and delivered with such comic conviction by director Dey and the cast, you can't deny its appeal.

	Shanghai Noon (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Of all of the `east-meets-west' scenarios Hollywood has concocted to showcase the talents of international action star Jackie Chan, Shanghai Noon turns out to be the most fun and surprisingly fresh yet.
		The cocktail premise of 'Shanghai Noon' is so original that it is only in those patented Chan moments where we are brought back into being aware that this is `a Jackie Chan vehicle'.
		And with Dey and two comic pros like Chan and Wilson driving the antics, Shanghai Noon is a hoot and a half.

	James Sanford reviews Shanghai Noon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Chan collects several bruises and reaps quite a few laughs in "Shanghai Noon" (the title is a slightly complicated spoof of Gary Cooper's "High Noon"), playing Chon Wang, a Forbidden City floor-scrubber who pursues the kidnapped princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu) all the way to Nevada in the late 19th century.
		Along the way, the determined Wang confronts hostile Crow Indians in a fight that leads to some amazing tomahawk juggling, is saddled with a ridiculously stubborn horse and trades quips with Roy (Owen Wilson), an outlaw who's so chatty and such a bad shot he was thrown out of his own gang.
		Although there's plenty of violence and shooting, "Noon" somehow manages to stay reasonably sunny and lighthearted without resorting to the condescending who-cares-it's-just-a-movie attitude that sunk Mel Gibson's "Maverick" a few years back.

	Shanghai Noon by Randy Edelman
		Shanghai Noon might be the most surprising of Edelman's three scores released by mid-2000.
		Shanghai Noon isn't sort of score that is heavily hyped or anticipated, but is one of those that sneaks in under most film music fans' noses, if the movie is not seen.
		Shanghai Noon is a very entertaining listen filled with Randy Edelman's flare for beautiful, Eastern influenced music along with bold and brash old west themes.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Shanghai Noon"- Comments1
		SHANGHAI NOON is a light-hearted ride that asks you to simply sit back and enjoy.
		The fight scenes in "Shanghai Noon" are much slower: you not only register every single punch, but even the pauses in between the punches.
		In "Shanghai Noon" Chan is paired with Owen Wilson.

	AboutFilm.Com - Shanghai Noon (2000)
		After reluctantly dragging myself to the cloyingly infantile slapstick western I presumed it to be from the trailer, I was surprised to discover a sweet-natured comic trifle that—while admittedly aiming low in terms of serious artistic achievement—aims primarily to please, and hits that mark with admirable regularity.
		In general, Shanghai Noon is too insubstantial and unambitious to really suck you in or stake a claim on your consciousness.
		Shanghai Noon is so light-hearted and ingratiatingly good-natured that it seems churlish to begrudge its wispiness, or to dismiss its successes simply because—with a better script—it might have been more.

	Discshop.se - Shanghai Noon
		I Shanghai Noon kombineras en matinéwestern med halsbrytande akrobatik och oanat roande komik som kan få de mest bistra åskådarna att flina så brett, att utan öron i vägen skulle mungiporna mötas i nacken.
		Shanghai Noon existerar inte för att skapa debatt och den kommer aldrig att användas som läromedel på filmskolor.
		Med Shanghai Noon i färskt minne tar jag mig friheten att hämningslöst rekommendera Jackie Chans och den komiska bifigurens, spelad av Owen Wilson, äventyr framför många andra komedier.

		Shanghai Noon is a great movie that the whole family can enjoy, starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.
		In all, Shanghai Noon is a great family film you'll watch again and again.
		"Shanghai Noon" is a five star film when judged by its enjoyability and not by more presumptuous artistic standards.

	SHANGHAI NOON
		In the new Shanghai Noon, Chan is once again cast as a foreigner, a second-tier Chinese Imperial Guard named Chon Wang who journeys to the Wild West to rescue his crush, the Emperor's beautiful daughter, Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu), from kidnappers who want the Emperor's gold.
		In Shanghai Noon, Chan is his classic funny self again — the action hero with a goofy side.
		Shanghai Noon feels like an act of justice: for being a Hollywood vehicle worthy of Chan's talents, and also, for being the film Chan's idol, Bruce Lee, should have made, but didn't because of racism.

	SHANGHAI NOON
		Noon not only proves that Jackie Chan’s mainstream hit Rush Hour was no fluke, but also looks likely to establish co-star Owen Wilson as one of Hollywood’s most likeable comedic stars.
		Noon’s story is so simplistic that it could have been taken from a video game (in fact, some games are much more complicated).
		As Noon opens, Roy and his gang of inept cowboys are trying to rob the train that is carrying Chon Wang and his fellow Imperial Guardsmen.

	MediaCircus.net: Shanghai Noon Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Thanks to some great chemistry between Chan and his co-star Owen Wilson ("Armageddon"), plus a script that pokes fun at the clichés and conventions of the Western, "Shanghai Noon" is probably the most fun I have had in a Jackie Chan movie in years.
		"Shanghai Noon" is not the first 'East-meets-Western'-- that honor would go to the Sammo Hung-directed "Once Upon a Time in China and America" from a couple of years back.
		Mind you, there are some flaws in "Shanghai Noon", making it far from perfect, including Wang's 'wife' all but disappearing from the story, numerous contrived plot twists, and some tight-framing of the fight sequences that sometimes makes the action difficult to follow.

	Shanghai Noon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Shanghai Noon is a western, with the usual cowboys, action, gunshots, women, more action, drinking, card playing, games, more action, did we say this was a Western?
		The director in Shanghai Noon did a very good job of combining beautiful scenery with smooth action to give the viewer a great experience.
		Shanghai Noon may not be a great classic, but you'll have fun watching it...

	"Shanghai Noon" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		From a Christian perspective Shanghai Noon is not given a "PG-13" for nothing.
		Language is prevalent throughout the film (even the Indians curse in subtitles!), though thankfully, we are spared from many instances of the Lord's name in vain, and the film has zero f-words (impressive for a modern PG-13 film).
		All in all, "Shanghai Noon" is a decent movie and a subgenre in itself.

	Shanghai Noon \| ajc.com
		Review: A buddy movie that tweaks cowboy cliches as it gallops through the prairies, "Shanghai Noon" lassos up all the revisionist laughs and action scenes that last summer's Wild Wild West botched.
		Passing through the genre's familiar stations -- bordellos, posses, gallows and shootouts -- Noon lets Chan use moose antlers, horseshoes and pine saplings as weapons, take a big fall from a mission bell tower, and contend with a drunken horse.
		"Shanghai Noon" doesn't have a major, gasp-inducing stunt centerpiece that most of Chan's movies feature.

	Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Express Reviewed
		Shanghai Noon is in some ways a movie about movies, with its joking references to so many films.
		Shanghai Noon is the most accessible of these films today.
		One of the perhaps accidental echoes of this film in Shanghai Noon is in the friendship that crosses ethnic lines and plays against ethnic stereotypes.

	Movie Review - Shanghai Noon - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		As much as I enjoy Jackie Chan, I'm going to have to say it: The best thing about "Shanghai Noon" is his partner, Owen Wilson.
		This style is downright hilarious in "Shanghai Noon," in which he plays Roy O'Bannon, an 1881 Wild West train robber.
		"Shanghai Noon" takes too long to get going, and occasionally resorts to stupid movie tricks like Roy accidentally saying something disparaging of Chon and Chinese people in general, leading to a rift between the two buddies.

	SHANGHAI NOON; Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Lucy Liu, CinemaSense.Com Review.
		In Shanghai Noon, we were touched by his obvious delight to switch from beautiful Chinese trappings, thought of as dresses in the Wild West, to cowboy duds.
		Jackie Chan movies are usually confined to urban spaces, but the sets in Shanghai Noon included the lush confines of Imperial pomp, forests, an Indian village, western trains and towns, and in the end, a Catholic mission church.
		Ultimately, Shanghai Noon comes to a satisfying conclusion where the slave earns his place at the side of his Princess as her equal in a new land.

	Filmtracks: Shanghai Noon (Randy Edelman)
		Shanghai Noon: (Randy Edelman) The appeal of Jackie Chan films was at its height when the idea for Shanghai Noon splashed across the big screens.
		He dabbles his feet in many different genres in Shanghai Noon, and makes use of every Western-inclined instrument and sound effect, but never does he do so with a serious enough intent to really diversify his template further than it was already established.
		Even so, the sum of the parts is effective in Shanghai Noon because of the comedy genre, and all Chan flicks should be so fortunate as to have such a score.

		SHANGHAI NOON is an L.A.-based DJ duo that features Daniel Djang and Michael Scot, two of the resident DJs for Qoöl Los Angeles, the sister club to Jondi and Spesh's legendary Qoöl in San Francisco.
		When they hit the decks as Shanghai Noon, Daniel and Michael play off each other's music and challenge one another to reach for new levels in their sets.
		When Shanghai Noon throws down a 2x4 set, it's for real: you'll hear all four decks on two mixers, with the two DJs improvising and layering their music, dropping tracks in and out of the mix at a dizzying rate.

		Chon will give up his post as a Chinese Imperial guard to become Carson City's Sheriff in the sequel Shanghai Knights.
		SHANGHAI NOON is so unabashedly good natured one can't help but find it an entertaining and diverting entertainment.
		The amazing thing about "Shanghai Noon" is that nothing in this film should work, from the pairing of Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson (although both are highly entertaining performers), to the modern rock songs that seem to pop up every 10 minutes or so.

	Shanghai Noon (2000)
		Chan's latest, Shanghai Noon, does not deviate from the humorous action setup that worked so well before.
		Shanghai Noon is a movie I never really wanted to end, and by the time the film closed, I was asking for more.
		Shanghai Noon is probably the funniest movie released so far this year, and is easily Chan's best.

	MovieFreak.Com - Shanghai Noon Review
		Now's he back in this type of thing with Shanghai Noon, a more of a western comedy than an action film.
		This is mostly a comedy and most of the action scenes are played for laughs and I'm sure that's not what they would want.
		And as a side note, the outtakes at the end provide a few laughs along with the movie but they're just acting goof-ups instead of any bone cracking.

	TNMC Movies: News: Shanghai Noon
		Shanghai Noon is in an inoffensive enough piece of entertainment, a sometimes deft satire on the old West, but yet it seems we've seen all this before.
		There are some fun moments to be had, and Shanghai Noon is not exactly dull, but it's prefabricated escapism for the right market and rarely does anything new.
		The buzz I'm hearing is that SHANGHAI is expected to be one of the most highly anticipated films of Summer 1800 and that Disney and Spyglass execs are extremely happy with the film directed by Tom Dey and starring Jackie Chan.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Shanghai Noon" review (2000)
		"Shanghai Noon" is a Jackie Chan flick set in the Old West.
		"Shanghai Noon" could have done with more of Chan's endlessly inventive fight scenes, and it feels much longer than its 105 minutes.
		"Shanghai Noon" has the same capricious, winking take on Westerns as the 1994 film version of "Maverick." But at least in that picture Jodie Foster got a piece of the action, playing flirtatious, self-sufficient foil to Mel Gibson's glib hero.

	Shanghai Noon - Rotten Tomatoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Shanghai Noon is hardly as enervating as its trailer would lead you to believe -- but not by much.
		Even at under two hours, Shanghai Noon feels lengthier than a double bill of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West.
		Shanghai Noon is, in classic western tradition, a celebration of male bonding, unabashedly juvenile, boyishly risqué and disarmingly sweet.
