The Millionaires Express Blu ray Competition - KUNG FU KINGDOM
“THE MILLIONAIRES’ EXPRESS”, is OUT NOW! Eureka Entertainment present Sammo Hung’s action-comedy-western adventure, in its UK debut as a Limited-Edition Blu-ray (3000 copies only) as part of the Eureka Classics range.
This Definitive Limited 2-Disc Collector’s Edition will feature 4 versions of the film (all as brand new 2K restorations), O-Card Slipcase, Reversible poster and Collectors Booklet.
The Far East meets the Old West in this iconic, action-packed adventure from the inimitable Sammo Hung. Hung plays a loveable rogue who teams up with an incorruptible Sheriff (Yuen Biao; Project A, Wheels on Meals) to save their home town from certain destruction.
Featuring an explosion of brawls, bandits, and bordellos; “The Millionaires’ Express” is Sammo Hung’s loving tribute to classic Western tropes, but also one of his finest pieces of action cinema.
An electrifying fast-paced fusion of dynamic martial artistry, death-defying stunts, and physical comedy. Also starring Rosamund Kwan, Richard Ng, and Cynthia Rothrock (plus an abundance of cameos from other Hong Kong cinema legends)!
