Shanghai Noon (watch click here)
Chon Wang is a Chinese imperial guard
in 1881. After Princess Pei-Pei, for whom Wang has affection, is
abducted and taken to the United States, the Emperor of China sends
three of his guards to retrieve her. Wang is not one of the three, but
he tells them that it was his fault the princess was kidnapped. The
Captain of the Imperial Guards first refuses, but when the Royal
Interpreter, Wang's uncle, offers to allow Wang to come help with the
baggage, the Captain agrees in the hopes that the "foreign devils" would
get rid of Wang. In Nevada,
Roy O'Bannon is an outlaw who, with his gang, hijacks the train Wang is
on. When Wallace, a member of Roy's gang, kills Wang's uncle, Wang
chases the outlaws down. However, the gang is well-armed and Wang's only
choice is to unhinge the cars and get away on the engine. In the
process, Wallace takes over the gang from Roy, and they leave him buried
up to his chin in the desert sand. Meanwhile, Pei-Pei, who was tricked
into believing she was freely escaping her arranged marriage in China,
finds out she has been kidnapped by an agent of Lo Fong, who ran away
from the Forbidden City and was viewed as a traitor by the Chinese.
