Big Chinese braids and American cowboys

The movie in 2000 is already in the 21st century. The Americans' impression of China is still extremely ignorant and backward, and they still have the image of long braids. The so-called Chinese big coffee like Jackie Chan and ABC like Liu Yuling still spare no effort to help Americans solidify this image.
Jackie Chan plays the manchurian dog's royal guard. He is very servile, and seeing a princess is worse than a pug. In order to save the kidnapped and mentally handicapped princess to the United States, she was first put on the train. After she escaped, she had feelings for the Indians for no reason, and she became the Indian's son-in-law. After the bar melee, he mingled with a cynical American cowboy, escaped from prison together, and was chased by the sheriff together. After a fight, the princess was rescued. Owen Wilson, a babbled crappy cowboy, looks quite handsome, but with more wrinkles. Maybe Jackie Chan's English is not very good, coupled with cultural differences, so his partners, whether black or white, are people who can't keep their mouths shut. The princess was starred by Yuling Liu, with freckles on her face, but I regret to tell the director that in fact, only a few people of the yellow race have freckles. Except being in the way, it doesn't matter whether the princess actually appears or not.
Jackie Chan in the film has big braids and kneels at every turn. He is more accustomed to being a dog than being a human being. Maybe people a hundred years ago are like this, but he has to praise Jackie Chan's acting skills are really great. He played a servile dog. vivid. The feeling of the American West is also pretty good, with dirty people in a dirty town, yellow sand all over the sky, drawing guns if they don't agree, and cowboys who rob trains.
There were not many fighting scenes. The first one was a fight on the train. Then there was the jungle battle against the Indians. This was a good fight, Jackie Chan's consistent style, using terrain and props. Then there was a big melee in the tavern, with too many characters, too messy, boring, and thinking it was just humorous. In the end, there was a chaos in the church. Jackie Chan also played a spear and a three-section stick. In the end, he used a big clock to hang the kidnapper on the ground.
Jackie Chan's consistent style, unfortunately, is too pleasing to American audiences.
