Ripper Fu: Shanghai Knights Meet Jack the Ripper

THE UGLY: Chan and Co. use the same gag at the end of Shanghai Knights that they used at the end of Rush Hour... i.e. falling from a great height holding on to a big piece of cloth. It works here because the cloth is a gigantic Union Jack. But I'd advise Chan to put this one to rest before it gets too rusty.

Anyway, Shanghai Knights is a fun, if silly, flick--and certainly worth the price of the rental and the popcorn.

Links to get you started...

Shanghai Knights
Shanghai Knights — The Official Site (Some cool stuff here, including Jackie Chan's diaries during the shoot)
Shanghai Knights (2003): Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Fann Wong, David Dobkin (a whole slew of reviews--most good, some bad--on the Rotten Tomatoes website)

Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan interview - Jackie Chan on Shanghai Knights (In reality, it's a short, entertaining article that talks to both Chan and Wilson)
The Official Jackie Chan Website (Jackie is very involved with this site, which really makes it more like a community than just a website)

Owen Wilson
World of Owen at Wilson-Brothers.com (Gee, I didn't know Owen had a brother)

Donnie Yen
Donnie Yen's Official Website (Another very good celebrity website)
Donnie Yen interview - Fight choreographer and Shanghai Knights villain (Short, but very good interview with Donnie Yen, done shortly before shooting Shanghai Knights)

Fann Wong
Fanfare - Fann Wong (A listing of sites devoted to the young woman who plays Chon Lin in Shanghai Knights)

Aiden Gillen
Aiden Gillen (I couldn't find much on this guy. This is really just a listing of links to stuff about him. He's a good actor, though, so we should be hearing more from him in the future)
