What happens when a glamorous express, with high government officials, wealthy merchants, concubines and a gang of brigands on board, speeds towards the small town of Hanshui, where escaping bank robbers, corrupt officials, and gamblers await? Well, let's just say the Titanic had a smoother maiden voyage.

Key opinion
Millionaire Express is a quintessential 1980s Hong Kong action-comedy that thrives on its star-studded ensemble cast and energetic stunt work. While the plot is widely considered minimal and secondary, the film succeeds as an entertaining, low-stress showcase for the era's greatest martial arts performers.
| Acting | The film functions as an impressive showcase for a vast ensemble of iconic Hong Kong cinema actors and international martial arts talent. | |
| Direction | The action sequences are expertly choreographed, featuring dynamic hand-to-hand combat and acrobatic stunts that echo the high standards of the genre. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative is intentionally simplistic and loose, serving primarily as a backdrop for comedy and fighting rather than delivering a substantial story. | |
| Humor | The film's humor is generally effective and engaging, though some viewers feel the comedic potential of the massive cast is not fully utilized. |
