Shanghai Knights is a fun picture with light-hearted martial-arts violence and too much sexual emphasis.

Shanghai Knights
Jackie Chan's back in this action comedy, a follow-up to the western-flavored Shanghai Noon. After his father is murdered in the late 1880s by an English noble, John Wong (Jackie Chan) and his womanizing partner Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) follow the murderer to England. Wong's sister, Fann (Chon Lin), escapes from a Scotland Yard jail, and the three begin their hunt for the killer. As they search London, they get into the usual predicaments. Chan's comedic martial-arts skills help them escape danger and uncover a plot to kill the royal family. Climaxing with fireworks at Queen Victoria's jubilee celebration and a sword fight atop Big Ben, Wong is faced with an opportunity to avenge his father's death.
