PUT Jackie Chan in any movie and you are guaranteed a chuckle - and Shanghai Knights is no exception.
Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) and Chon Wang, the Shanghai Kid (Chan), are back in the saddle after their first film, Shanghai Noon, only they're not, strictly speaking, in the saddle.
They find themselves in the middle of Victorian London, with a nifty little pick-pocket as an unlikely saviour and the addition of Chon's baby sister Lin, who is all grown up and very attractive.
While trying to complete their daring quest in the name of honour and revenge, they land themselves in the thick of a plot to eliminate most of the royal family.
The film is full of lovely little clichs, which are almost as much fun trying to spot as the flick itself.
