I won’t lie, I’m a huge Jackie Chan nut. I’ve been watching his films since I was young, so I like to think I’m well versed in his back catalog of films. While I think that many of his best films are the ones he made back in Hong Kong, there’s a few of his films that he’s made here in Hollywood that are quite fun as well. Two of those stand outs were ‘Shanghai Noon’, and its sequel, ‘Shanghai Knights’, which starred him and Owen Wilson. The films were period piece buddy comedies that played heavily on the “fish out of water” aspect, to much success. I’ve been waiting to retire my DVD copies for some time now, so I’m very excited to say that Disney will be releasing the two films as a double feature on May 7, 2013.
This is great news for fans of the films, as well as fans of both Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan, and I really look forward to getting this film when it comes to blu-ray next month. Will you be picking this up to add it to your collection? And what are your favorite Jackie Chan films? Let me know in the comments below, only here at Chip and Company, and hit the jump for trailers for both films, as well as the press release for this release.

East meets West in two wildly hilarious comedies starring legendary action star Jackie Chan and funnyman Owen Wilson. Experience Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights for the first time on Blu-ray, featuring new digital restoration with enhanced picture and sound.
Chinese Imperial Guard Chon Wang is in for a real kick when he travels to the rough and tumble Old West to rescue the beautiful kidnapped princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu). Teamed with laid-back cowboy outlaw Roy O’Bannon, the two mismatched partners face jail, brawls and the vilest villains this side of the Great Wall. Then jump in the saddle for the wild and wooly sequel as the two unlikely heroes make their way to London on a daring quest for honor and revenge. These two uproarious comic adventures are even better on Blu-ray!
