Has anyone seen those two movies with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson?

I love those movies, since they make me crack up!! There is alot of humor involved...and I don't think you can go throughout the whole movie without laughing at least once.

For the first movie the plot is:
A 19th century Western directed by Tom Dey, Shanghai Noon stars Jackie Chan as Chon Wang, a clumsy Imperial Guard to the Emperor of China. When Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu) is kidnapped from the Forbidden City, Wang feels personally responsible and insists on joining the guards sent to rescue the Princess, who has been whisked away to the United States. In Nevada and hot on the trail of the kidnappers, Wang is separated from the group and soon finds himself an unlikely partner with Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson), a small time robber with delusions of grandeur. Together, the two forge onto one misadventure after another.

And the second..

When a Chinese rebel murders Chon's estranged father and escapes to England, Chon and Roy make their way to London with revenge on their minds. Chon's sister, Lin, has the same idea, and uncovers a worldwide conspiracy to murder the royal family but almost no one will believe her.

If you haven't seen those movies yet, I advise you to!![/quote]

lol, I LOVE those movies. I agree, the first one was the best, but they both are hilarious. I still laugh over the name Chon Wang (say it outloud).

Ahh I LOVE these two movies. Owen Wilson is absolutely hilarious and Jackie Chan is... well a legend! lol They make such an awesome team. I heard that there's a possible third movie coming in the near future. Can't wait :D

Also if you loved these two films, check out the Rush Hour movies as well. Great stuff. Rush Hour 3 is in pre-production at the moment and is expected for a release next year!!!

I laughed so hard I cried at both Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. The stunts done by Jackie Chan were also mind-blowing!!!
