Review

In this mildly entertaining sequel to Shanghai Noon, our mismatched heroes are now in London, searching for a stolen Great Seal of China, and avenging the murder of Chan's estranged father. Jackie's beautiful sister tags along as well, catching the eye of anachronistic surfer-dude Wilson. Even more featherweight than its predecessor, Knights is by no means a classic action film; it is, however, buoyed by the chemistry of its stars, and some amusing (if less than spectacular) fight scenes. The film's Forrest Gump-isms (the pair run into Arthur Conan Doyle and Charlie Chaplin, among other celebrities-to-be) and tired put-downs of Britain will most likely result in more groans than giggles, and the pace flags occasionally.
