Final Specs for SHANGHAI EXPRESS and ABOVE THE LAW.

Before you ask. I don't know about the deleted scenes or alternate ending, this is only what was listed on the specs given to me. I should have a review copy of both discs tomorrow and hopefully that should clear up any questions about the content. Those features (deleted scenes and an alternate ending) are listed on the Dragon Dynasty website, so it may just be nothing. I'll post some cover pics later.

“Shanghai Express” (starring Action Legend Yuen Biao)

Running Time: 96 minutes

Synopsis:

Hilarious escapades and breathtaking action collide in this stunt-filled thrill ride from the director of Jet Li’s Once Upon a Time in China and America.

Before Hollywood produced Shanghai Noon, Hong Kong created Shanghai Express: a fun-filled adventure where the Far East meets The Old West. Featuring an all-star cast of Sammo Hung (Kill Zone), Yuen Biao (Once Upon a Time in China ), and Cythia Rothrock (Above the Law), this action-packed caper follows a band of unlikely heroes who team up to protect their hometown from ruthless bandits. With one of the greatest action finales, the movie culminates in an all-out showdown of martial arts icons.
