The Millionaire's Express (1986)

Hong Kong Fortune Star DVD edition



A very entertaining, snappy and well budgeted Martial Arts Action Comedy 1986 classic
with many stars in cameo roles and with Cynthia Rothrock as a Bad Guy !!
There's a close to legendary fight between Cynthia's criminal and Sammo's anti-Hero and
also many other great stunts i.a. Sammo's jump from the roof of a building.
Cynthia only has a small role in this film but still i rate this her best film outside of her Holy
Top Three: Yes, Madam! - Righting Wrongs/Above the Law - Blonde Fury/Lady Reporter
