A barrel of monkeys

| If Sergio Leonne did the Great Train Robbery in Cantonese and casted the Three Stooges to star in it, Millionaires Express would be the result. There are about a half dozen sub-plots going on, but it all centers around a derailed train (courtesy of Sammo)and the attempt of several groups to profit, legally and illegally, from it's rich passengers. Funny in a goofy way (check your high brow at the door), it's a western with kung fu supplementing the gun play and a constellation of some of the best in martial arts films, including (my favorite) Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Cynthia Rothrock, the adorable and lethal Yukari Oshima, Ken Norton, as well as the always sumptious Rosamund Qwan in a minor role. The fight scenes are fantastic (or in the case of Yukari Oshima's circumsision of Ken Norton with a katana , traumatic)to watch and the characters are entertaining. The only bad thing I can really say about the film is that I had the subtitled edition inflicted on me, and subtitled voices are like someone dragging their nails over a chalkboard. Other than that, it's good, silly fun. |
