Casablanca Express (1989) – The Last Train to Glory and Gunfire

Casablanca Express (1989) is what happens when spaghetti war flicks meet pulp comic-book bravado at a dusty railway station in North Africa. Directed by Sergio Martino, an Italian genre legend best known for giallo classics like Torso and The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, this wartime adventure is a feverish blend of guns, grit, and grit-teeth dialogue. The plot is bonkers in the best way: Winston Churchill is rumored to be on a train through Nazi-occupied territory, and a crack team of Allied soldiers must protect the iron beast from a ruthless SS ambush. Enter Jason Connery (yes, Sean’s son), stiff-jawed and shirt-sleeved, playing a secret agent who looks like he’s just walked off a Hugo Boss catalog.

The supporting cast is a B-movie dream team. Donald Pleasence (of Halloween fame) brings gravitas as a British intelligence officer who seems to know more than he's letting on, while Francesco Quinn injects some wild energy into the proceedings. There’s even a wonderfully crusty turn from Glenn Ford, who slaps sense into subordinates and chews cigars like they're laced with TNT. The film’s charm lies in its unashamed mix of old-school WWII tropes and low-budget Italian action spectacle—train shootouts, sneaky saboteurs, and slow-motion deaths included. It’s not historically accurate, but Casablanca Express doesn’t care—it’s a ride, pure and simple.
