There are two lines in the film, one line is the adventure of the royal guard played by Jackie Chan in the rescue of the princess of the Qing Dynasty, and the adventure in the western United States; the other line is the process of the cowboy thief played by Owen Wilson in pursuit of gold. When the two lines converged at the end, it was these two who became acquainted with each other and became the policemen who arrested the cowboy robbers.

The reason why it is said to be an anti-western movie is because the traditional western movie should be a kind of grievance and hatred like The Fistful of Dollars or The Past of the West, or a heroic warrior like the Seven Dragons. In short, the west is an extra-legal In this place, there can be justice and justice in the arena, and the skynet can be restored without leakage, but it is rare to see a cowboy becoming a policeman in the end. It is more like an adventure film in the west. We can even imagine that if this pair of policemen meets a cowboy like Eastwood at the same time in the future, how should they choose in the setting of Western film justice?

The film combines elements of Sino-American cultural conflict, Chinese Kungfu, Indian culture, Western adventure, etc. It is a very interesting and excellent popcorn movie.

    I wrote it wrong. I actually liked this first episode. It was renamed "Dragon Whirlwind" when it was introduced into China.

    Aside from the obvious "Bring the most awesome American culture", typical Hollywood commercial values ​​and Long Shu's slowest and most awkward filming since 1978, this film can still be seen. In addition, Owen Wilson is another Hollywood actor besides Chris Tucker who can perform chemical reactions with Jackie Chan. This also makes me feel an extra cordial feeling when I see him in movies these years.
