Dramatic, military music plays.

A man rides on a horse in the snowy mountains.

Some came from the mountains.

A large group of men ride on horses across a field.

Some from the valleys and plains.

A group of five women in a convertible car dressed up for cold weather.

Some came from their smart, city life.

A huge, black steam train hisses at a station.

The train is wrapped in flags and a military parade is taking place beside it.

But they all came to ride by Shanghai Express!

A train whistle is heard.

Tsao, a fire chief, is beside a frightened woman, Chi.

They stand on top of a burning building. Tsao lifts Chi onto his shoulders as she hangs onto a length of rope.

There were the good guys.

Two firemen pull the rope and Chi flies off the building into the arms of another fireman standing on a ladder. She holds onto him as the ladder falls to the ground.

It's night. Two doors are smashed as hooded figures walk in in slow motion.

And the bad guys.

They embark on a sword fight. A woman in a red gown and a man with long hair use their swords against a gang of hooded hoodlums.

A woman with short blonde hair screams as she attempts to kick a man in the head who ducks. She then spins and kicks him again all in slow motion.

And some guys who weren't really guys at all.

She lands and adopts a defiant pose.

And then there were some guys who just like to see everything go with a bang.

Ching has his hands on a detonator.

A train approaches.

He steels himself and pushes down on the detonation device.

A large explosion occurs in front of the train.

The train driver nervously looks out onto the track.

He applies the brake and the train hisses as it tries to stop.

Passengers sat for dining on the train all go flying as the train brakes.

A man in a cowboy hat sits behind a huge machine gun. Ching sits beside him.

For this little town the Shanghai Express brings nothing but a whole train load of trouble.

A gang of men see the gun and try to run away but the cowboy starts to crank the machine gun and fire at them at will.

A businessman in a suit stands up in anger at his companion being kicked then finds himself being kicked in the back of the head by a hooded assailant.

The blonde woman kicks someone and spins around.

The hoodlums kick another man towards a piano in a hotel reception.

Fighting continues outside with a man on a bicycle being kicked and knocking him off while the bicycle continues to stay upright along the way.

On a train track, Tsao stands facing Ching and throws a punch. Ching throws one back then puts his head between Tsao's legs and throws him over his shoulders.

Tsao hits his head on a wooden beam and falls to the floor.

As he struggles to get up, Ching kicks him in the stomach.

Ching then punches him in the face then brings him up to stand opposite him.

Ching delivers a punch that sends Tsao flying backwards and crashing into a wooden bench.

A blonde, bearded man stands opposite a long haired man in dark gown ready to fight.

The blonde man throws a punch but it is avoided and his opponent leaps up from the floor and punches him in the head.

They both land in a crouched position. The long haired man puts his hands together as if in prayer.

With the toe of his boot, he slyly digs his foot into the sand.

He flicks up sand into his opponent's face who spins and kicks him in the stomach sending him flying backwards.

A man in red scarf faces off against a man in blue shirt.

The man in blue shirt leaps up and does a somersault kick causing the opponent to fall into a table.

They both stagger to their feet and continue to fight. The red scarfed man is pinned to the edge of a railing while the blue shirted man stands above him. He avoids his attack and then kicks him causing him to spin through the air and almost fall off the building before grabbing hold of the railing.

Welcome aboard the Shanghai Express!

A steam train races down a track with steam flowing from it's chimney.
