Westerns that combine Chinese and Western

Even though it is a classic genre in Hollywood movies, the impression of the West in Western movies is not static. Here, the western cowboy is no longer a strong foreign man with blue eyes and yellow hair, but a fierce and funny master insider. The audience can not only see Jackie Chan fighting robbers in court official uniforms, but he also dressed as an Indian to fight with his bare hands. And the mix and match of character modeling is not enough. The dazzling east and west scenes are also perfectly seamlessly switched, from the dimly lit tavern with small space, to the oriental architecture with pillars and beams, to the bloody execution ground gallows, plus thrills. Exciting jumping and fighting, "Shanghai Noon" can definitely be called a shocking western feast.
