Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson mix kung fu with the Old West and Victorian London across two buddy comedies. Here's the simple order to watch them.
Shanghai Noon paired Jackie Chan's martial-arts flair with Owen Wilson's laid-back charm in an East-meets-Wild-West adventure. Its success led to a globe-trotting sequel that swapped the frontier for Victorian England. Directed by Tom Dey and produced by Jackie Chan's Hollywood collaborators, the films showcased Chan's signature prop-based fight choreography while poking fun at classic Western and adventure tropes.
π Release Order
Release order is the way to go, as the sequel continues the friendship established in the original.
- Shanghai Noon (2000)
- Shanghai Knights (2003)
Both films follow the same duo in sequence, so chronology and release order line up.
π Story Chronology
The story progresses forward, so chronological order matches the release order.
- Shanghai Noon (2000)
- Shanghai Knights (2003)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch Shanghai Noon first to see Chon Wang and Roy O'Bannon become unlikely partners, then continue with Shanghai Knights for their London escapade. Release order is all you need for this breezy two-film franchise. The sequel deepens the friendship and even sets up historical cameos, so watching the original first makes Shanghai Knights' globe-trotting gags land far better.
