SHANGHAI NOON (2000) Taking place in the 19th century, this comedy/action/western begins when Princess Pei Pei runs away from The Forbidden City with her English Tutor to America, to escape an arranged marriage. The wily English tutor takes her to Carson City, where she becomes the prisoner of a former imperial guard, the dastardly Lo Fong, who holds Pei Pei for a ransom demand. An Imperial Guard delegation and Chon Wang who tags along, is sent to America with the ransom gold. After their train was robbed, Chon Wang becomes separated from his party, and starts his own quest to rescue the princess. Along the way, Chon makes some unlikely alliances with an Indian tribe, and a small-time robber, Roy O'Bannon, with whom he shares misadventures and dangerous situations.
The cast includes: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Lucy Liu, Brandon Merrill, Roger Yuan, Xander Berkeley, Walt Goggins, Jason Connery, Rongguang Yu, Ya Hi Cui, Eric Chen, Russell Badger, Simon Baker III, and Sam Simon. Directed by Tom Dey. Written by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.
