Martial arts buddy sequel is exactly what you expect.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2003

It's a merry surfeit, lofted by calisthenic wow above the usual level for late-era Jackie and Wilson's mellow-gold delivery.

| Feb 11, 2003

Like an Abbott & Costello comedy, Shanghai Knights is truly dumb, sometimes inconsistent, but awfully funny.

Knights will surely find an enthusiastic following before it gets to video.

[A] mundane sequel.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 7, 2003

Grand, undemanding entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2003

A desperately unfunny action comedy, mirthless not only in its effect on an audience but in its whole aura.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 7, 2003

[Chan and Wilson] imbue Shanghai Knights with an aura of collegial high spirits, even when the writers leave them hanging.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 7, 2003

Except for some doubles, Chan performs his fight scenes in this film live on camera while doing his most creative choreography in years.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Feb 7, 2003

If Knights isn't exactly great filmmaking, it is at least a lot of silly fun.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 7, 2003

A nice mindless diversion of a film that provides a few chuckles, and some pretty fancy footwork by the always invincible Jackie Chan and the constantly optimistic Wilson.

| Feb 7, 2003

The movie is just the sort of mindless entertainment we're ready for after all of December's distinguished and significant Oscar finalists.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2003

So appallingly slipshod in all the usual departments is this sequel to the engaging martial-arts comedy Western Shanghai Noon that you're tempted to cite its makers for contempt.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 7, 2003

A pretty entertaining movie, in a kick-you- in-the-pants kind of way.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2003

Manages to entertain even as it's floating into the ether.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 7, 2003

Wilson has his surfer-dude moments of humor, but he's doing his best with creatively dead material.

Full Review | Feb 7, 2003

Far from great but greatly entertaining, Jackie Chan's Shanghai Knights is certainly one of the best of his English-language pictures.
