Shanghai Noon: with Jackie Chan

A modern Western, the movie starts in China and moves to the U.S. territories, c. 1800's. A paint trick horse shares center stage with Jackie Chan's martial arts, doing such things as smile, remove saddle blanket, kiss, sit down, lay down, receive a rider flying through air and landing on his back, walking up porch steps almost into a building, and rescuing the star from a hanging. The plot is full of humor, but also a drama of honor, integrity and self-control.

Playing in theaters July 2000.
