Standout Aspects

Stunts

Jackie's umbrella fight in Big Ben is pure unhinged cinema.

Acting

Wilson's cowboy stoner energy against Chan's deadpan perfection.

Production

Victorian London built on Czech Republic soundstages, somehow.

Best for:Friends: Pizza night when nobody wants to think too hard.·Background: Fold laundry while Jackie destroys a library.·Rewatch: Spot every Arthur Conan Doyle Easter egg.

The Big Ben fight took four weeks to film; Jackie performed without wires, relying on hidden safety mats.

Cultural

Fann Wong, already huge in Singapore cinema, was cast partly to boost Asian box office—a rare 2003 studio move.
