Mix the dizzy confusion of IT`S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD with director Sammo Hung`s kung-fu stylings and a mythical Chinese West complete with cowboy hats, clapboard towns, and steam locomotives and the result is SHANGHAI EXPRESS. At the center of the plot is a train loaded with wealthy passengers and a trio of Japanese hoping to smuggle an important document out of the country. The train becomes the target of a motley assortment of thieves, bandits, and ex-cons, each with their own get-rich-quick scheme. As the cops and criminals stumble over one another, the film marches steadily to its conclusion--an all-out, everyone-for-themselves battle royale. The cast is a who`s who of Hong Kong comedians and stars, most associated with Golden Harvest studio. The martial arts sequences are top-notch (the acrobatic Yuen Biao nonchalantly jumps off a two-story building as if it`s an everyday thing), and the plot is an object lesson in how Hong Kong directors can borrow from Hollywood to create schizophrenic, enjoyable cinema.

Traumatized by the discovery that her live-in fianci has cheated on her with his ex-wife, Allison Jones (Bridget Fonda) decides to find a roommate to share her apartment on Manhattan`s Upper West Side. After interviewing candidates, beautiful, sophisticated career woman Allison settles on Hedra Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a shy, mousy woman who has a hopeless fashion sense, and seemingly, a heart of gold. At first shes an ideal roommate, asking Allison for advice and attempting to emulate her cosmopolitan style. But Hedys adulation grows more and more disturbing as Allison realizes that her new roommate has a dark side. Barbet Schroeder (BARFLY, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE) directed this taut psychological thriller. Jason Leigh is mesmerizing as the disturbed Hedy; Fonda is well cast as the unwitting victim of another`s psychosis.
