John Wayne, the Bad Guy?
If you are in a mood to watch an action movie, flicks of fast flying fists or serious gunfights may enter your mind. If you are in a mood for a comedy, the use of exaggeration or sarcasm could play an important role in your movie selection. Due to the characters' personalities, music, and fight scenes, Shanghai Noon fits into both of these categories while maintaining a western theme. Placed in 1881, Carson City, Nevada, surrounded by landscapes, Chinese immigrants, and bounty hunters, imperial guard from the Forbidden City in China, Chon Wang [pronounced John Wayne], played by Jacky Chan, and outlaw Roy Obanan, played by Owen Wilson, have to fight the masses of discrimination and stereotypes to learn about each other and ultimately become better friends to save the kidnapped princess, Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Lui). Although the movie takes place in the late 1800's and in a western setting, that fact is quickly forgo
Along with this the music fits the spot every time. Making it easier for himself, the kidnapper, tricks Princess Pei Pei into leaving the Forbidden City on her own will to go to America. Owen did a great job acting out Roy Obanan, a terrific Character. Chon Wang is confused in the beginning of the movie. Even with a gun pointing at his head, he musters up some sort of sarcastic humor. Always joking around, there is no situation that he will not crack a couple of sarcastic remarks about. He is sent from the Forbidden City, his homeland, to rescue the princess. During these fight scenes the camera angles and close ups are magnificent. tten due to our modern day views and linguistics implemented in the film. I'm not sure how I would feel about him if Owen Wilson did not act him.
