Absolutely hilarious movie!! I loved it, though with some inappropriate themes and scenes in it, I wouldn't recommend it for kids under about 14.

What Parents Need to Know
About Shanghai Noon
Parents need to know that this movie has some bad language, potty humor, scenes in a brothel, and drinking and drug use (portrayed humorously, including a prolonged drinking game and a drunken horse). The racism of the era is touched on. Chong is thrown out of a bar and he is very hurt when he overhears Roy agree with an anti-Chinese comment. The prostitutes are portrayed stereotypically, but the leading women in the movie are brave, smart, capable, and loyal.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Roy and Chong learn to trust each other and work together, how Chong uses quick thinking (and a good knowledge of basic physics) to use whatever he can find to help him fight the bad guys, and how people from many different cultures reacted to life in America.

- I rate this title on for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate language
awsomely funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think pretty much most ten year olds could handle it. so ya the language is pretty bad but it could get much worse and ( for instance in coming to america). the violence is mostly kunfu by jackie and it is all pretty much comedy. and the sex is mosty just women dressed in skimpy outfits. so this movie is like one of my favorites right now, even i saw it like three years ago

- Inappropriate language
- Negative role models
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
Message of loyalty and friendship, even in the face of danger, is the main theme. Mistakes are made and forgiven by real friends. Female characters are strong and self-reliant, a big plus. Parents can and should discuss language, drinking and sexuality, but even my non-drinking family laughed at the goofy drinking-game scene in this film. Violence is cartoonish and mainly skilled, stylized Kung Fu.

pretty good
This is a good action movie. Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan make a great team. There is not a lot of sex or language in it. I say 12+

Fun!
A really entertaining action/comedy! And don't listen to CSM on this one, it's okay for kids under 15. I saw it when I was 10, and it wasn't too inappropriate for me at that age.

Great Jackie Chan fun
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson made a great team for this one. Thoroughly enjoyable romp in the Old West.
