Is it really worth paying 9 bucks for?
I hate Owen Wilson because of that stupid airforce movie he was in. That movie was just lame.

Owen Wilson is awesome. See Bottle Rocket damnit!

...and Shanghai Knights was good. Better than the first one....and uh 9 bucks for a movie ticket? You go to an IMAX or something?

Saw this Saturday night. It was very cute, but not as good as the first IMO. Outtakes at the end were hilarious

Don't get up and leave soon as the credits start to roll!

Where i go is $7.50, some are $8...$9 Just seems like overboard =). Anyhow, was just a fun movie all around. Nothing amazing, but good fun! And thats all that matters at this type of a movie.

Matinee prices for our area is about $5.75. I laughed so hard I cried. The sister was really hot too. I'd hit that for certain! I'd let her hit me back too.

You see, we have parents that love us. You don't because you're just a little orphan!!

Best line ever, Stragi!

I thought this movie was funny as hell, especially the Singing in the Rain sequence, you all know what I'm talking about!

Wrathbone was just awesome, I loved that shit.

I liked the first one but I hated this one. The writing beyond Owen Wilson's ad libbing was atrocious, the direction was awful and whoever did the sound needs to be fucking shot. Even Jackie Chan's fighting scenes were dull except the umbrella sequence.

And what with all the first grade irony jokes? Haha Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chaplin. Haha automobiles will never catch on etc. etc. God I could have written that entire screenplay in a night.

The orphan line was the funniest part of the film. Well that and Jack the Ripper.

It had none of the physical and visual jokes that made the first movie funny, like the horse, or Jackie's indian wife. I didn't feel the bond between the two main characters like the first one either. It was like they were just back slapping and calling each other buddy.

You gotta admit though Kyou, that umbrella scene was too funny. Did you happen to like the swordsmanship?
