Storyline
Multi-genre flick (western, martial arts, comedy, adventure, etc.) with an all-star cast about a man who returns to his home town, buys everything in sight, and tries to improve its municipal (and his personal) profits by sabotaging a train so the passengers all have to stop in his town and spend lots o' money! Throw in various subplots involving some Japanese swordsmen, some bungling bankrobbers (one of whom is the head of security), and a gang of no-goods who try to mess up the town. Written by Mark Toscano <fiddybop@uclink4.berkeley.edu>

Trivia
A very tight shooting schedule demanded round-the-clock work from the cast and crew, who largely lived at the set throughout production. Cynthia Rothrock remembers being discouraged from sleeping because it would cause black circles around her eyes. See more »Goofs
During the final big fight scene, one of the actors does a back flip off of a bar. Wires can be seen during a top view of the flip. See more »Alternate Versions
Asian prints of the movie delete the scene where Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock are introduced. See more »Contribute to This Page

Maybe I don't know enough about HK cinema to get all the in jokes and references, or maybe I just didn't pay close enough attention, but I was thoroughly confused by this bizarre action comedy that seems to be set in an Old West town located in China. The cinematography is fine (particularly the train sequences) and the martial arts are predictably excellent. But the dubbing is atrocious (not too mention insulting) and the cast of character so vast I couldn't keep track of everyone. Sammo Hung is good, but he's used his comedic talent to much greater effect in other stuff like Wheels on Meals. Only for the HK hardcore.
