Don't Listen to the Movie Critics, Get This!
Jackie Chan is a great martial artist, stuntmaster, and comedian? Of course he is all of them! In most cases, good martial artists aren't Jerry Seinfield; look at Bruce Lee for example. This movie is one of the top three funniest films of all time in my opinion along with "Rush Hour" and "Spaceballs." It has very funny sequences and not to mention action-packed. The movie also has crazy stunts which is normal in a Jacki Chan movie, and Owen Wilson makes the movie more... Let's just say interesting. The fight scenes look realistic, except for the style, and the acting is well done.

The movie is about an imperial guard (Chan) along with a relative of his and a few of their best men trying to find the Princess of China (Liu) and go to the US neogiating a ransom deal. I highly recommend this movie beause the characters are stuck in some deep sh** and the outcome is funny. Screw the movie critics who say that it's bad blah blah and it has a bad storyline yadda yadda and it's not funny and the movie didn't let him be himself and all that crap because they have no idea what a good movie is, don't like Chan because 60% of the critics are classified as a beached whale from all that snacking, don't get any of the jokes because they don't know what they mean, or are just dumb. Watch the bloopers, a registered trademark of Chan!

Notice to all critics!!!
This movie is an excellent Jackie Chan film, with owen wilson to lend a hand in the comic relief department. Jackie chan is a brilliant asian actor/director/writer/stuntman/e.t.c... He has over 50 films to his credit... As of late Jackie's movies have moved into the U.S. marketplace with a vengence...This movie is very typical of the new genre. Understand that the differences in filming a U.S. film, and an Asian film are relevant to anyone's review of this film. It's easy to sit back and critic this film for it's lack of all the martial arts, and stunt sequences that we've become accustomed to in a "Jackie Chan" movie. However, realize that in America Jackie has to film within certain rules and guidelines that aren't present in Asia. There are no nets, ropes, harnesses, standins, bluescreens, computer effect,e.t.c. in Asian filmaking(especially in any Jackie Chan movie) To pull off these films, Jackie has to really do it. He "IS" the special effect. In America, they do not allow him to film in this manner. Safety regulations and such. So you will not be seeing alot of the harrowing stunts you are accustomed to in this film. I thought the movie was a success, it was a comedy, and it did give me quite a laugh. We should all remember, it is easy to sit back and critic those who entertain us. But we forget the main objective-"To be Entertained- And I was, I love this film, I hope Jackie keeps on entertaining me as he has for 20+ years now. *Also, anyone who will ever critisize jackie's incredible stunts, or martial arts skills..."Ask yourself, could I do that?" -I did't think so!!!!- *Bravo Jackie,Bravo!!!!*

Yippi Kai Aye!!!!
Since Jackie Chan has been making English only films this could be his best work to date!

Jackie plays Chon Wang an imperial gaurdsman sent "to carry the luggage" for a rescue crew to save the Princess Pei Pei, played by Lucy Liu. She is being held prisoner by, the suprisingly excellent, Lo Fong, played by Roger Yuan.

Chon eventually meets up with an unscruplous coward cowboy named Roy and the two get into some pretty funny situations together as they try to resuce the princess.

As a buddy flick go this might be on par with or even a little better then Rush Hour. Roy played by the cleft-nosed Owen Wilson is a hoot as he stumbles along trying to show Chon the ropes, literally.

The fight scenes in this movie are watered down slightly but good none the less. The highlight being a riverbank fight with a bunch of merauding Indians. Jackie still has some punch left in his kick for this movie.

An excellent Chan flick and a decent movie overall.
