Shanghai Noon
Pei-Pei, tricked into believing she's being sent to a life of servitude, must outwit dangerous outlaws and navigate the untamed American frontier while a determined Chinese warrior, Chon Wang, battles betrayal and foreign threats to reunite her with her emperor and her destiny.
“The old west meets the far east.”
Synopsis
Chon Wang, an awkward imperial guard, follows Princess Pei Pei after she is kidnapped from the Forbidden City and taken to America. Pursuing her captors to Nevada, Wang joins forces with Roy O'Bannon, an outcast outlaw, in an effort to rescue the princess from captivity.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 288+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
