"Shanghai Noon" is the name of the first one.
It's wise to rent Shanghai Noon before one sees Shanghai Knights because of all the references to the first one.
It isn't nesseccary to see Shanghai Noon to understand Shanghai Knights, but it will increase your appreciation of Shanghai Knights even more inho.
Enjoy Shanghai Noon when you rent it - it's a GREAT movie ! ( And Shanghai Knights in theaters Feb 7 is even BETTER ! I've seen a sneak preview and will see another one Tues. night - can't wait ! )
I think the second one is a lot better than the first
I can't agree more!! It was great! (Shameless plug ahead!) I just wrote a review for Shanghai Knights that you will be able to read in the newest issue of Screen Power (vol 5 Issue 1) On stands March 7!
