Millionaires' Express
Director: Sammo Kam-Bo Hung
1986 / 98min / 35mm
Arguably the most formidable ensemble cast in the history of Hong Kong cinema assembled on the set of Hung’s Eastern Western, in which reformed outlaw Sammo teams with Sheriff (played by Yuen Biao) to protect their impoverished rural hometown from a sudden influx of desperate characters, all plotting to make a fast fortune off the passengers of a brand new luxury train scheduled to pass through on the Shanghai-Chengdu line. Veteran stalwarts like Jimmy Wang Yu and James Tien rub shoulders with fresh talents like Rosamund Kwan and Cynthia Rothrock, Japanese ninjas vie with Soviet bandits, and the spectacular action and inspired slapstick scarcely lets up for a minute in this deliriously entertaining action-adventure vaudeville.
