5.0 out of 5 stars Edizione magnifica per un cult poco conosciuto in Italia
Reviewed in Italy on March 9, 2022

NOTA: edizione priva di audio o sottotitoli italiani.

Film scandalosamente inedito da noi, The Millionaire's Express è una delle pellicole più famose di Sammo Hung (attore e regista famosissimo a Hong Kong e a livello internazionale, mentre da noi è conosciuto giusto come spalla di Jackie Chan e interprete di una simpatica serie tv americana). Questo scoppiettante film d'avventura è una parata di star del cinema action hongkongese, motivo per cui un'edizione blu-ray all'altezza della sua fama era particolarmente attesa.

E la Eureka - etichetta britannica ormai eccellenza nel settore - non ha deluso le aspettative. Questo doppio blu-ray in versione speciale (include anche un poster, cartoline e un corposo booklet) presenta il film con un eccellente restauro, e contiene addirittura QUATTRO versioni: versione cinematografica originale (quella proiettata a Hong Kong), versione internazionale (quella accorciata per USA e Europa), versione estesa, versione "ibrida" realizzata appositamente per questa edizione (un collage di tutte le tre versioni precedenti, quindi il montaggio più completo).
Ovviamente per le tracce audio la scelta è limita al Cantonese originale (con nuovi sotttitoli accurati in inglese) e al doppiaggio inglese d'epoca, ma i dialoghi sono abbastanza semplici da seguire; infine un ampio comparto di contenuti extra tra interviste, speciali, trailer.

Insomma, un gioiellino da avere non solo se siete appassionati del cinema di alta scuola prodotto in Oriente, ma anche per tutti gli amanti degli anni '80 e delle commedie d'azione realizzate a regola d'arte. Scazzottate, risate e sparatorie a profusione!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fun Sammo film!

Millionaires Express was originally released in 1986 and written, directed and stars the legendary Sammo Hung. The film is another comedy featuring a little kung fu and has a bit of western for good measure. The film's plot surrounds this train full of rich folks. There's several groups wanting to use this machine as a means to steal something of value or as an escape. Their plans all go wrong and they find themselves at odds with one another, leaving the film into a series of hilarious gags, stunts and some great fight scenes.

This limited edition of The Millionaires Express features two versions of the film. There's the original Hong Kong cut and the extended "international" cut. I chose to watch the extended cut and had a blast doing so. The film was a reasonable length and thanks to the fun happening on screen, it didn't get dull for a moment. Sammo did what he does best. He pulls off a charming performance with some great moments of humour and the odd action sequence. This is all elevated by the impressive cast including the scene stealing (and roof jumping) Yuen Biao, Rosamund Kwan, Kenny Bee, Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Ng and many more. Each actor has their moment on screen and it's great fun seeing them all here together.

This Eureka remaster is a fine package, to say the least. Not only does it come with the cuts of the movie I mentioned above, it also has an English version as well as a Hybrid Cut, released exclusively in this limited edition package. I haven't got round to watching these yet, but it's a nice addition, to say the least. There's also a huge amount of archival interviews, new featurettes, alternative English dubbing, subtitles, soundtrack as well as trailers and a few other cool little things. The disc case is housed next to a fold out poster and they sit in a cool looking cardboard slip case.

When I started up the film, I was very impressed with how the movie looked. It's a flawless release, or at least I couldn't see any fault. The clarity is quite something. The imagine has retained a lot of that '80s film grain, which means you'll see every detail possible. The colours are also very impressive. Due to the film being a western, it is filmed in a very dusty yellowish environment. This makes a lot of the outfits featuring reds, greens etc really stand out. I think this has got to be one of the best looking Hong Kong releases I have picked up.

Despite the fact this collection is comfortably expensive, or it is for my taste. I think it was still a good buy. I really enjoyed the movie, the extras are just as fun and the remaster itself is fantastic. This definitely a worthy purchase for Sammo Hung fans, Just remember, it's more focused on comedy than kung fu.
