I can't say it's a rehashing, but the act feels a little stale by this point.

John (Jackie Chan) and Roy (Owen Wilson) are back but in a different setting. Had a few laughs and the action was slightly better. Unfortunately, a few unbelievable moments like jumping over a bridge to a boat more than 20 ft high or getting killed by fireworks. Shanghai Noon was more believable, even the scene where John back-stabs Roy over his sister, was done already in the first installment. Shanghai Knights is a decent adventure comedy set in London with a few good martial arts choreography.

I'm not looking for historical accuracies or poignant subplots when I rent a movie like this, I just want to escape my boring life for a couple of hours. And this film delivers. Owen Wilson is outrageous as he wisecracks his way in and out of side-splitting situations and tight spots. And he and Jackie Chan play perfectly off each other. As in the first movie, the comedy is nicely fitted between superb action scenes and a decent enough story. But let there be no doubt, these are comedies, and they are among the best in the last few years. I'd have to say Shanghai Knights is a bit better than the first one, through and through, but you really can't enjoy it without having seen Shanghai Noon.
I love Jackie Chan movies because Jackie Chan loves making movies, and his energy and vigor are …
