Shanghai Knights

Shanghai KnightsWe watched Shanghai Knights tonight. I’m a big fan of Jackie Chan, and the film was in a very light and entertaining way pretty funny. Dragon laughs at me when I say this – but while none of the periodic inconsistencies the film was (of course) full of didn’t bother me at all, inconsistencies in food did.

I understand that the purpose of the scene where Chon and Roy are offered food at the party is to make fun of English food, I need to complain about the following discrepancies:

  • They were offered dessert in the beginning of the meal.
  • Spotted dick does not look like what they were offered.
  • Haggis is common food and would not be offered at all at a party like that.
  • Haggis does not look like a sausage.

There. Had to get that of my chest. Thank you for listening.
