Jackie Chan and Kid Rock Team Up to make a Music Video

Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson had so much fun making Shanghai Noon, their new movie about a Chinese imperial guard in the Wild West, that they were happy to slip back into chaps and cowboy hats to shoot a music video. At Disney's Golden Oak Ranch in Newhall, California, the actors joined Kid Rock and his protege, Uncle Kracker, to re-create the film's saloon fight scene, set to the tune of Kracker's hip-pop "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." The song is used in the movies and appears on Kracker's debut album, Bould Wide, out next month. Before the chairs and poker chips started flying, Wilson noted that he was deeply impressed by Chan's realistic combat moves. "He really does all his own stunts!" said Wilson, who was last seen in The Haunting. "I thought that was some kind of con." The fisticuffs turned out to be a bonding experience for the cast. "The video's about friendship and so is the movie," said Tom Dey, who directed both. "There's nothing like a good barroom brawl to bring people together."
