My Lucky Stars
Because the success of the first LUCKY STARS film (WINNERS AND SINNERS) had a lot to do with the Japanese market, the second film in the series takes place in the land of the rising sun and features Michiko Nishiwaki, the Japanese female bodybuilder. Jackie Chan plays an undercover cop who solicits the help of his gang of childhood friends--the five Lucky Stars, each of whom specializes in petty crimes and minor mishaps--to help him catch Japanese gangsters. Dough-faced Eric Tsang replaces John Sham as one of the Lucky Stars, while Sibelle Hu plays the femme du jour and the object of the Lucky Stars' lust. The film features several notable fights, including a surreal sequence in which Chan rumbles in an outlandish amusement park costume; in another memorable fight, director Sammo Hung battles in a yellow jumpsuit, a la Bruce Lee's GAME OF DEATH. The fantastic showdown at a haunted house attraction pits the Lucky Stars against a stellar cast of opponents: Hu versus Nishiwaki, Hung versus Lau Kar-wing, Yuen Biao versus Lam Ching-ying, and Chan versus Dick Wei.

Absolute ploop! The dubbing in no way matches the subtitles - which for the first hour was quite amusing, then we realised we were not watching the film! We ended up turning it off because we could not take any more! Jackie Chan did not appear to have much of a role after the first 10 minutes - don't do it!

3 Brothers Rule!
Any film that stars Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao gets my vote. One of a series of action comedies directed by Sammo Hung, this film boasts Jackie as the star, but he is only in about a third of the film..... but what a third.
The opening car chase is fantastic with some crazy stunt work, and the sequence where Jackie is dressed as a cartoon character in a funhouse is also very memorable.
The big fight at the end also has some nifty footwork. In the end though, this is Sammo's film. Childish and slapstick comedy for the most, but don't forget, Sammo can kick ass with the best of them, and in this film he does.
