Movie Guide： By Steve Ryfle, Hollywood.com Thursday, May 25, 2000 Get showtimes, view the trailer and see credits for this film in Hollywood.com's Movie Guide.

It's a Jackie Chan movie. It's a western. It's a comedy. In other words, there's a little something here for everybody. And if you don't mind all the recycled cliches, it's a lot of fun.

cliche：（小说或是艺术中的）陈腐的题材或是场面。在本片中有美国西部片的 　　　　　枪战、女人、印第安、酒吧争吵、绞刑等等老一套。

Story： All Jackie Chan movies are basically the same, right? Jackie is the good guy who's on the run from, or in pursuit of, a truly evil bad guy. In this one, Jackie plays an Imperial Chinese guard, sent to the American west during the 1800s to rescue a kidnapped princess (Lucy Liu). He buddies up with a bumbling outlaw (Owen Wilson) and, as you might guess, action and laughs follow.
bumbling outlaw：bumble 犯大错，结结巴巴讲话，弄糟之意。outlaw被放逐之人
　　　　　　　　　　　 ，歹徒，逃犯。整个的意思我想就明白了，如文中所说的你就可
　　　　　　　　　　　设想这个搭档给你带来的动作、笑料频频不断了。
Direction ：Well, there's some nice scenery of the Sierra Nevada's and the old west (where this stuff was actually filmed, I have no idea, but it looks great), but other than that, this film is a showcase for the actors. For the most part, director Tom Dey doesn't deviate from the tried-and-true elements of a Hollywood western: Gunfights, Indians, brothels, bounty hunters, barroom brawls, hangings, damsels in distress and so on. The final fight between the good guys and bad guys is a lot of fun, mixing up swordplay, gunplay, martial arts and fighting sticks.
showcase：陈列柜；显示人或物优点的东西。本片有内华达的美景和古老的西部（实
　　　　　　　　际上是人工布景）但更重要的是本片有让众演员展示其所长的广阔空间。
tried-and-true：经过考验而可靠的，靠得住的。导演汤姆·戴伊没有背离经受住考验
　　　　　　　　　 的美国西部片那些诸如枪战、悲惨处境中的女子等等。最后正派与反
　　　　　　　　　 派的决斗包括了击剑、枪战、棍棒械斗等等，逗笑之处多多。
