Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

microfame For someone who loves the "three brothers" in the outstanding "Dragons Forever", or the also excellent "Wheels on Meals", "My Lucky Stars" was a poor offering. The fight scenes at the end, particularly Jackie's unique and exciting romp through the "haunted house", account for four of my five-star rating. The vast stretch of "humor" in the middle is comprised of some Chinese-nuanced gags, inaccessible to my Western senses, and a load of truly imbecilic slapstick, most of it so juvenile and embarrassing that I had to eventually begin fast-forward searching, to get to some decent action. I can only recommend the first 10 minutes, and the last 20.....

BA_Harrison My Lucky Stars, the sequel to hit HK comedy Winners and Sinners, is another huge serving of not-so-funny slapstick humour and irritatingly puerile hi-jinx from Sammo Hung and pals; nevertheless, its still worth persevering all of this silliness for the outstanding martial arts action sequences that bookend the film.The movie opens in excellent style with kung fu cops Muscles (Jackie Chan) and Ricky (Yuen Baio) on the trail of Japanese gangsters. After an exciting car chase with an amazing jump over a transporter lorry, and a fight against ninjas in a theme park, Ricky is taken hostage by the gang. Afraid that he will be recognised if he attempts to rescue his partner, Muscles decides to enlist the help of his old orphanage pals, most of whom are now petty criminals.There then follows a tedious hour or so of lame comedy, in which the reunited childhood friends play repetitive practical jokes on pretty cop Barbara Woo (Sibelle Hu) and generally act like immature morons. If you can make it past this laugh-less garbage without switching off, then your patience will be rewarded with a terrific finalé in which Chan fights a series of foes in a haunted house, Sammo and friends take on the nasty gangsters (including martial arts veteran Lam Ching Ying), and a memorable moment where Sibelle Hu has a scrap with a musclebound geisha, played by Michiko Nishiwaki.Whilst I'd happily recommend My Lucky Stars to fervent fans of fight action (and of Chan in particular), those looking for a laugh might be advised to seek their entertainment elsewhere (unless, of course, they think that curly haired bus-drivers, jokes about rape, and silly song and dance routines are incredibly funny).6.5 out of 10, but just not good enough for me to round my rating up to 7.

gridoon This movie begins with some jaw-dropping, "holy s**t" stunts performed by Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao. Then Biao's character gets taken as a hostage by the villains, and the next hour belongs to Sammo Hung and his gang, the infamous "Lucky Stars". Their comedy is often labored, and always lowbrow, but it manages to be occasionally funny. I've seen three films with them now, so I'm more accustomed to their brand of humor, but they're definitely not to everyone's taste. In the final 20 minutes, we get to the fight scenes, which are choreographed in the usual inimitable Jackie-Sammo style, yet I have some complaints: most of the fights are either too brief or too choppily intercut with each other. For example, what could have been the ultimate cinematic catfight, between the stunningly sexy Sibelle Hu and the beautifully muscular Michico Nishiwaki, is pretty much a disappointment: too brief, intercut with a parallel Sammo fight, and Ms. Nishiwaki comes to a rather demeaning end. Another example is the Jackie Chan vs. Dick Wei fight, which is over much too quickly. Both Nishiwaki and Wei are better showcased in the excellent Hong Kong actioner "In The Line Of Duty 3". In fact, probably everyone involved with "My Lucky Stars" is better showcased somewhere else. But for fans of the genre and the stars, the movie is worth a viewing. (**)

jrat6200 This movie was very funny! Sammo Hung has a true sense of humor. There was more comedy than action present, but it works out just fine. Jackie isn't the star of the movie. I think it works out better that way. The movie wasn't meant to be all action, but comedy mostly. The cameos were excellent!! Dick Wei's usual villainous role doesn't surprise me, but he shows off his moves and throws down in this movie!! Jackie, Yuen, and Sammo's chemistry on screen is incredible. I wonder when they trained at the Peking Opera School, did they ever think that they would use their skills on screen? Anyway, Eric Tsang is a very funny, versatile actor. His childish antics in this movie are hilarious. If you want to watch hilarious HK comedy, go meet the Lucky Stars!! They're all that and a bag of Kung Fu.
