It's a caper film! It's martial arts action! It's a farce! It's Millionaire's Express, with Hong Kong stalwart Sammo Hung on both sides of the camera! For HK fans, this film makes nearly as little sense as Jackie Chan's Fantasy Mission Force. Sammo plays a ne'er do well who comes back to his hometown with a platoon of sexy kung-fu hookers in tow and sets up business. The Shanghai Express, loaded with the rich and famous, is scheduled to come through town , and our man Sammo plans to derail it by blowing up the tracks, then entice the passengers to spend their money in town and (hopefully) visit his brothel as well. So far, so good. Problem is, a gang of thieves is on board the train, and a gang of Japanese mercenaries is after a map of valuable terracotta figures from a temple. Add to this mix a pair of jailbirds who hope to be freed by letting the train run over their shackles and an man and woman dressed inexplicably in 19th-century U.S. Cavalry outfits and you have a thoroughly confusing mess of a Hong Kong action comedy. The only thing that's missing is a cameo appearance by the Three Stooges. Sammo pulls it off quite well, though, with some killer fight segments towards the end, gorgeous lighting and camera work and trademark jaw-dropping HK stunt work. Anyhow, forget about how confusing it is and just go along for the ride on the Millionaire's Express. --Jerry Renshaw Average Rating:
 Rating: - Who's not in this?Sammo really goes all out on this one. There is a train coming through town and Sammo plans on halting the passengers trip so that they will visit their town and they can profit. He will do this by any means necessary keeping his brothel's profits that could be made in mind all the time. While this isn't one of Sammo's best comedies it is still very good. Eric Tsang always bugs me but thankfully we get literally ALL of the stars that Sammo worked with throughout the 80's. I think the only ones ...

The music is so cliched it's laughably bad and the voices, while poorly done, are full of character(one guy even sounds homosexual). The intentional humor in this movie doesn't stand a chance against the blatant showing of a low budget masterpeice. Rating: - MILLIONAIRE'S EXPRESS - All-star martial arts action comedyThis 1987 Hong Kong production is easily one of Sammo Hung's most enjoyable and spectacular directorial efforts. It's got the all-star, non-stop action, farcical comedy approach of the epic Hollywood comedy IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. Sammo plays a man who brings his bevy of prostitutes to a remote railroad town and sets up a hotel. He arranges for a train accident to stop the Shanghai Express and force its passengers to stay in town and pay for the hospitality of his establishment. Meanwhile, ...

I thought the Japanese trio were cool and reminded me of the characters from the "Wrath of the Ninja" Anime. Down points were too many characters and a lousy plot. Some of the highlights were some of the comedy, Yukari Oshima's anime-ish ninja outfit, and the cameo character appearance of Wong Fei Hung as a kid. Rating: - Great cast, dissaponting filmStarts off real good, youre getting to think youll see allot of sumo, but theres only one really good fight (with yuen biao!)and the movie as a whole isnt very much. Whang jang lee (the worlds best& fastet kicker) is totally wasted. nice performence,as allways,by Norton. Rothrock-I hate,but shes doing fine,and offcourse theres yuen biao-my personal god. |
