I just showed the kiddos Shanghai Noon for the first time recently. Being a period piece, it holds up pretty well. Haven't shown them Knights yet. I seem to recall it being more violent. Am I remembering right?

I liked Shanghai Knights a lot, even more than the first one. I thought the action direction of Noon was really poor, although that may have been to hide the doubling of Jackie.

Best things about Knights:
The gorgeous Fann Wong (the scene where she crawls on the bed towards Owen Wilson is stunning)
When Wong slaps Jackie after rescuing her. "I just saved you!" "You were late!!"
And the line I use anytime someone asks me to do something impossible. "Now what in our history together makes you think I'm capable of something like that??"

In Shanghai Knights I liked that line in the brothel where the prostitute asks Owen Wilson:

"Hello love, fancy a tumble?"


"That's the most romantic thing a woman has ever said to me."

MGM is jumping back into the saddle for a new Shanghai Noon sequel.

Jared Hess, the Napoleon Dynamite director, who releases his long-delayed comedy Masterminds later this month, has signed on to direct Shanghai Dawn for MGM.

Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson are in negotiations to reprise their roles for the long-in-the-works third film in the movie series.

Details are being kept buried, but the story is by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, who wrote 2000’s Shanghai Noon and 2003’s Shanghai Knights. Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum wrote the script.

The original was an East-meets-West buddy comedy about a Chinese man (Chan) who is forced to team up with an outlaw (Wilson) to save a Chinese princess. The movie turned out to be a surprise hit and led to the London-set sequel.

Spyglass Entertainment is producing. Millar and Gough will executive produce.

UTA-repped Hess broke through with Dynamite, the Sundance sensation which he also co-wrote. He also directed and co-wrote Nacho Libre, Gentlemen Broncos and Don Verdean.

Sept. 30 will see the release of Masterminds, the comedy that stars Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig and Zach Galifianakis. Its release was postponed several times due to Relativity’s bankruptcy woes.

On the TV side, Hess recently directed the pilot of Making History, Fox’s time travel comedy from exec producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord. He also directed episodes of The Last Man on Earth and Son of Zorn.

So awkward clean humor like in all of the other Hess movies?

Yeah I liked the first 2 movies. If they're serious about getting this made, hopefully they don't wait too long. Jackie is 62 and aging fast. He looked really slow in Skiptrace.
