Very enjoyable action-comedy-western. If you like Jackie Chan or Owen Wilson, this is one to buy. The video quality is superb and sound is excellent also. Extras are good too. Nice DVD from Disney. Recommended!

First off, don't read my sig if you've never seen the movie 
Shanghai Noon is a great film. I had some issues with it as I thought some of the deleted scenes should've stayed in the film. Some parts of the movie would've made more sense if they were kept in, but overall it's definitely worth buying

A fun film. My wife even said she liked it, and she alway hated Jackie's other films. It has a lot cool extras too. I agree that most of the deleted scenes should have stayed in the film. The test audience strikes again.

I'll echoe the others, great movie!
As far as the disc goes, well it is a very solid package by the folks at Buena Vista.
Video quality is reference, period. It is one of the best looking discs I have seen. It truly has a 3 dimensional quality about it. I detected no signs of EE, compression artifacts, grain, etc. Just a gorgeous transfer.
Audio quality is also top notch and actually hangs with the video transfer. Solid low end, no distortion that I detected. Just a very solid 5.1 track.
You want extras, well this disc has got 'em. It is a loaded DVD and I agree with SDSII, I too thought some of the deleted scenes should have been left in the film. But still you get them and you get them finished. The scenes have been finished and are anamorphic plus DD 5.1 to boot.
If Buena Vista had the Vista Series (ala Unbreakable) out when this disc was released it would have been one as it truly offers reference quality video and audio as well as a slew of extras.
Bottom line, run don't walk, and get this DVD. You won't be dissapointed.
