Director: David Dobkin
Cast: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Fann Wong, Aaron Johnson, Aidan Gillen

The sequel sees "John Wayne" reteam with Roy to pursue his father's murderer to London where we are in for a silly and anachronistic adventure with cameos from Arthur Conan Doyle and Jack the Ripper. The story is inept but Wilson's banter and Chan's beautifully choreographed fights carry this sweet-natured and entertaining film a long way.
