What's your favorite, the first one or the sequel? I might be flamed for this, but I found both these movies to be enjoyable. Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan rocks! I heard a third is coming that is called Shanghai Dawn. This makes me happy The sequel to Noon is surprisingly good for being a sequel.

 

[Manics]

First was good, sequel sucked.

 

[Madrin]

Shanghai Noon. Shanghai Knights is terrible.

 

[norinrad21]

Both sucked, trying watching some good Jackie flicks from his HK days

I have watched almost all of them.

Shanghai Knights is terrible.

Sequel sucked

Knights sucked.

Knights isn't terrible at all

 

[Wario64]

noon

 

[Great King Bowser]

Knights sucked.

Noon was decent.

 

[Boogie]

Both were good, hard to choose. Probably Noon though, but the action was better in Knights, I think.

 

[AirBrian]

Shanghai Noon (and by a wide margin)

 

[Lakitu]

I like Shangai Knights most! I like em both, they're great films

 

[SantaC]

I like Shangai Knights most! I like em both, they're great films

aint that the truth

 

[Leatherface]

Shanghai Noon was WAY better. Shanghai Knights was ok and worth a rent. Noon is worth owning.

 

[Great King Bowser]

Uno mas?

 

[Asbel]

Knights was more cartoony but the 'fight' choreography was top notch.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Noon is great. I actually had a surreal experience watching Shanghai Noon in a hotel in Shanghai one night while I was visiting China a few years back. It was in Chinese with English sub-titles.

Knights was a major let down.

 

[karasu]

Shnghai Knights has some fantastic fight scenes, but unfortunately they can only be seen in the extra features. Shanghai Noon was funnier though.

 

[Ronin]

Donnie Yen was the best thing about Knights.

 

[D-X]

Noon. But Knights isn't as bad as people make out.

 

[Warm Machine]

I enjoyed Knights. Don't remember much of it though.

Noon feels really long. The cinematography is beautiful and much of the action is good but it needed another pass through the Avid.

 

[Ash Housewares]

neither of those has Roselyn Sanchez so I vote Rush Hour 2

they're both decent and Knights had fewer pei pei jokes and a better soundtrack

 

[slayn]

As a movie, I didn't really like Shanghai Knights, but damn did the dude with two swords at the end kick ass.

Noon was a god movie though.

 

[temp]

I like Knights better. Something about Noon rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Asbel]

Noon was a god movie though.

And to think, in the extras, he said he knew nothing about swordfighting. So all credit goes to Jackie's choreography for making the other guy look bad ass.

 

[Solid]

Which one is it when they piss in the prison? I laughed my ass of at that scene :lol

 

[Great King Bowser]

Shanghai Noon

No, you said "wet shirt not break," not "piss shirt bend bar"!

 

[DaMan121]

Noon is more of a Wilson movie than a Chan movie.. Knights is more of a HK movie,while Noon is Hollywood lite version of a HK movie.... therefore Knights >>> Noon.

 

[Azure Dream]

Hm... Knights hadn't lost the charm, but I still say Noon. It set the template, had some great gags, and decent action.

 

[TheDuce22]

"Ever heard of parents? We have parents who
love us. You don't, 'cause you're an orphan"

I liked them both.

 

[Odnetnin]

knights was fawful. Stupid plot and no Lucy Liu. The other chick had too much gum when she smiled. :vomits

 

[AeroGod]

(talking about the Chinese Imperial Guards)
"They're not like any Injuns I ever seen, Jedediah."
"That's because they're not Injuns, woman. They're Jews!"

:lol :lol

I love that line

 

[Ronin]

"Ever heard of parents? We have parents who
love us. You don't, 'cause you're an orphan"

I liked them both.

Okay, that part killed me. :lol

 

[DarienA]

I instead choose a bullet to my own head. But Donnie Yen rocked in Knights... just like he rocked in Highlander.

And was grossly underused in Blade 2.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Rush Hour.

(someone had to)

 

[DarienA]

And was grossly underused in Blade 2.

Well he wasn't really suppose to be in Blade, that was a last minute thing, he was doing fight choreography and they really liked him and decided to create a part for him real quick.

Now the dumb thing about this... who's the f'n moron who hired Donnie Yen for fight choregrapher and doesn't realize how talented he is and build a bigger role for him!

His fight with Adrian Paul is the best part of Highlander: Endgame.

It was great. Pretty bad when the best fight in a highlander movie is in the middle. At least I got something out of the movie though.

 

[cvxfreak]

Knights.

 

[Eric P]

knights made me really sad when donnie yen and jackie chan were on screen and had one of the weakest fights i've seen from either of them.
