Factual error: The first Kinetoscope (arcade of 'personal movie viewers') was opened in 1894 and the first motion picture studio was located in New Jersey. There is no way that they would have known enough about motion pictures in 1887 to go into them, let alone go to Hollywood to do so. And the use of the word 'movie' is at least twenty years too early.
Shanghai Knights (2003)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Dobkin
Starring: Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Donnie Yen, Aidan Gillen, Tom Fisher
Lin kills Wu Chow. Lord Rathbone falls off Big Ben. Chon, Roy and the inspector are knighted. The inspector is (Sir) Arthur Conan Doyle; he decides it's time to retire from Scotland Yard and start writing stories about a certain famous detective. The homeless kid is Charlie Chaplin. The secret message that Chon's father wrote is that family is very important and that he will always be with him (his son) in spirit (stuff like that). Chon and Roy head for the U.S. and Roy is interested in starring in motion pictures... and Charlie joins them (stowaway on their carriage).

Chon Wang: It's a puzzle box. I don't know how to open it.
Roy: What do you mean, you don't know how to open it? You just get a hammer and smash it open so you can see what it says.
Chon Wang: No. I must have patience. By the time I'm able to open it, I will be ready to read the message.
Roy: Oh, come on, Confucius, that's the corniest thing I've ever heard.
Trivia: When Roy is talking about his ideal life with Lynn, he mentions his three children, "Vera, Chuck and Dave," a very slick reference to the Beatles song "When I'm 64."
