Synopsis
The dynamic duo of Chon Wang and Roy O'Bannon return for another crazy adventure. This time, they're in London to avenge the murder of Chon's father, but end up on an even bigger case. Chon's sister is there to do the same, but instead unearths a plot to kill the royal family. No one believes her, though, and it's up to Chon and Roy (who has romance on his mind) to prove her right.

Variety
A hugely entertaining and more lavishly mounted follow-up to 2000's "Shanghai Noon," the high-concept East-meets-Western that first teamed top-billed duo, pic rides even taller in the saddle as a fleet and funny crowd-pleaser. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Bounds from one gag to another like an eager puppy. - 70
Chicago Reader
Despite his advancing years, Chan delivers some fleet slapstick; like his hero Buster Keaton he works intuitively with levers, pulleys, ladders, and umbrellas. - 67
Portland Oregonian
This is a movie where you can just sit back and revel in it, warts and all. - 63
Baltimore Sun
It's a gimcrack assemblage of gags, action scenes, favorite moments from the first hit and diorama-like views of high and low Victorian culture. - 63
Charlotte Observer
Uproarious imbecility. - 60
Village Voice
The adventure-book pace and topsy-turvy English setting evoke the feel of Stephen Sommers's "Mummy" films. - 50
Wall Street Journal
A machine for killing time, and it does so fairly painlessly.
