The Wire’s characters are so deep and convincing that it’s always funny to see them outside of Baltimore in random other roles. Tonight I spotted a good one: Tommy Carcetti as Lord Nathan Rathbone in one of the sequel-iest sequels of all time, Shanghai Knights. SPOILER: Jackie Chan kills him on top of Big Ben.

Highlight of the Shanghai Knights Wikipedia: “While Shanghai Knights contains many anachronisms and historical inaccuracies, the writers say they were intentionally put in to make the movie more fun.”
