Shanghai Knights (2003)

Better than the first film, and features possibly the best stunts of any English-language Jackie Chan movie to date. Owen Wilson seems sharper and more relaxed, too. Awfully precious at times, and the plot is as lame as anything, but at least the villains are credible in this one (my biggest beef with Shanghai Noon was that it was populated by guys Chan should have been able to whoop with one hand behind his back). A fun drinking game to play with this: Spot the Anachronism! You'll be drunk halfway through.

Grade: B-
