Overview

What happens when a glamorous express, with high government officials, wealthy merchants, concubines and a gang of brigands on board, speeds towards the small town of Hanshui, where escaping bank robbers, corrupt officials, and gamblers await? Well, let’s just say the Titanic had a smoother maiden voyage.

Viewing Notes

Super fun to revisit this with Tonia & Ron! Plenty of neat stunts and comedy antics w/a decent amount of “wow” inducing fighting. I really don’t know how some of these guys are still alive today.

This was particular fun to view having just watched two Shaw films that expired on Netflix starring Hsiao Ho, who is featured prominently in this movie. Also cool to see Olivia Cheng as Sammo’s girlfriend in this as I just saw her in the Shaw Production MR. VIRGIN.
