SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson’s first mismatched-partner adventure has the same buoyant blend of period comedy, inventive martial-arts stunts, Western playfulness, and affectionate buddy banter.
02
Why this pick
Another lively Jackie Chan period romp: globe-spanning escapades, broad comic energy, physical ingenuity, and a deliberately anachronistic sense of fun echo Shanghai Knights’ breezy tone.
03
Why this pick
Pairs Jackie Chan’s agile physical comedy with a fish-out-of-water spy premise, delivering gadget-led action and light, playful banter rather than hard-edged danger.
04
Why this pick
Its central culture-clash partnership lets Jackie Chan’s precise stunt comedy bounce off a fast-talking Western counterpart, with the same easygoing action-comedy momentum.
05
Why this pick
A colorful, good-natured treasure chase with escalating brawls, eccentric villains, and a reluctant partnership; it shares Shanghai Knights’ muscular action wrapped in cartoon-bright adventure.

01 / THE STORY
In 1887, Chon Lin (Fann Wong) tells her father (Kim Chan), Keeper of the Imperial Seal of China in the Forbidden City, that her brother Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) is doing well as a sheriff in Carson City, Nevada, but her father replies that her brother is dead to him. Lord Nelson Rathbone (Aidan Gillen) leads a band of Boxer Rebellion into the city, killing Lin’s father and stealing the seal. With his dying breath, Lin’s father gives her a box to send to her brother.
