''Shanghai Surprise'' is a 1986 British adventure comedy film starring then-newlyweds Sean Penn and Madonna, produced by George Harrison's HandMade Films and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Harrison himself appeared as a night club singer, and also recorded several songs for the film's soundtrack, including the song "Breath Away from Heaven", which was re-recorded and released on his album ''Cloud Nine'' along with the song "Someplace Else", also used in the film. The soundtrack for ''Shanghai Surprise'' was never released as a record or CD, and was only briefly available as a promotional single featuring the title song "Shanghai Surprise" coupled with "Zig Zag".〔Booklet included with ''Cloud Nine'' CD, released 2004.〕 Both of these songs have since been released as "additional tracks" on the 2004 release of the ''Cloud Nine'' CD. Another track, "The Hottest Gong in Town", was included on the EP ''Songs by George Harrison Volume 2''. The screenplay was adapted by John Kohn and Robert Bentley from Tony Kenrick's 1978 novel ''Faraday's Flowers''. The book was reprinted (under the film's title and with a film-centric cover) as a piece of tie-in merchandise for the film. ==Plot== Glendon Wasey (Sean Penn) is a sleazy, down-on-his-luck con man struggling to sell glow-in-the-dark neckties in Shanghai. When he encounters the lovely Gloria Tatlock (Madonna), a missionary nurse who wants to obtain a supply of opium to ease the suffering of her patients, he decides to help her get hold of a stolen supply of the valuable drug. The only problem is that a lot of other people want to secure the stolen opium as well—gangsters, smugglers, thugs and a host of dangerous lowlifes.
