Shanghai Noon Writer Reveals the Disappointing Reason Why a Third Movie Never Happened

Writing duo Alfred Gough and Miles Millar may now be known for the likes of the hit Netflix series Wednesday and the long-awaited horror comedy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but the pair once crafted a masterful blend of Western and action in 2000s Shanghai Noon. Starring martial arts icon Jackie Chan and Wedding Crashers star Owen Wilson, the movie expertly combines thrilling action, comedy, martial arts, and cowboys, with a sequel, Shanghai Knights, released in 2003. Sadly, despite the popularity of the Shanghai movies, a third movie never materialized, and Gough has now revealed why. It was Jackie Chans fault.
