Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Millionaires Express (also known as Shanghai Express in some territories) is a 1986 Hong Kong Martial Arts Movie that combines elements of Spaghetti Western and samurai films, all rolled in one entertaining 90-minute package. Directed by Sammo Hung, the film boasts what is probably the largest All-Star Cast of its time (as seen in that poster), including Sammo's long-time collaborator Yuen Biao, popular Canto-pop singer Kenny Bee, comedians Eric Tsang and Ng Man-tat, Japan's leading Action Girl Yukari Oshima, and loads and loads of leading stars of late-80s Hong Kong cinema at the time.Set in the 1930s, Ching Fong-tin (Sammo Hung) is a runaway fugitive and small-time criminal who just had a lucky escape from a confrontation from Loi-fook (Kenny Bee), a government agent sent to capture him. On his way back to his rural hometown of Hanshui. Ching intends to derail the Millionaires' Express, a train full of wealthy passengers, at the nearby train station so that the passengers would stop by the town and perhaps spend some money there to revive its local economy - much to the dismay of the town's local fire rescue chief Tsao (played by Yuen Biao). However, a gang of bandits have set their eyes on the train, intending to rob its passengers and relieve the train of its valuable cargo including a valuable Imperial scroll guarded by three samurai (Yukari Oshima, Yasuaki Kurata, Jang-Lee Hwang).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Action scenes ensues. Loads and loads of action. Explosions, shootouts, martial arts duel, acrobatic stuntmen somersaulting, fight scenes galore. Its super fun.Sometimes labelled as Shanghai Express, in which case do not confuse this movie with Shanghai Express. | |

David vs. Goliath: Invoked when the samurais have to face the bandit leader (played by the imposing Richard Norton). The leader is at least a few feet taller than the samurais, and holds his own even in a 2-vs-1 battle until the lady samurai scores a killing blow (see Groin Attack below). | |
