Watch Devil's Express

Devil's Express is a uniquely captivating blaxploitation and martial arts movie that was released in 1976. The movie stars Warhawk Tanzania as Luke, a skilled martial artist and New York City Karate champion who is returning home to Harlem from Hong Kong after several years of training in Kung Fu. Upon his return, Luke receives a mysterious emblem from his martial arts teacher that's believed to possess spiritual and injurious powers. As Luke journeys back to New York City, the emblem finds its way into the hands of a group of Chinese monks who are traveling to the US to fight evil spirits that are haunting the city. However, the emblem is possessed by a demonic force that quickly gets unleashed and causes an unimaginable horror in the city's subway system.

As the subway train hurtles through the dark tunnels, people begin to vanish one after the other until the survivors learn that an ancient demon has come to destroy New York City. The demon, filled with hunger and barbarism, soon begins to transform the subway into a den of iniquity, where depravity and death rule supreme.

Meanwhile, Luke starts experiencing strange things, and he becomes aware that the emblem he was given has something to do with the increasing number of random and brutal murders taking place on the streets of Harlem each day.

Luke soon discovers that he must team up with the monks and the NYPD to save the city and protect it from being consumed by the demon's malevolent powers. Together, they embark on a dangerous hunt to track and eliminate the demon, and restore harmony in the city.

What makes Devil's Express unique is that it combines elements of the martial arts genre with horror, mystery, and action, creating an entirely new genre of film. Additionally, the movie's soundtrack features a unique blend of martial arts-inspired music and funk, bringing to life the tension and suspense of the story.
