SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

OllieSuave-007 This Hong Kong movie was one of my favorites from my childhood and still remains a definite must for pure entertainment after all these years. It features an all-star cast, including Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, John Sham, Stanley Fung and Charlie Chin, who star as five reformed criminals that open up a cleaning business. While on the job, they are caught in the middle of a deal-gone-bad between rival triad gangs bent on controlling the counterfeit currency market. Soon, they find themselves having to deal with these bad guys and bring them to justice.The main plot is loosely tied together and not very solid; however, what you get throughout the movie in addition to the main counterfeit currency plot is interesting subplots one after the other, from the five friends' hilarious trip at an outdoor market to Exhaust Pipe's (Richard Ng) embarrassing attempt at being invisible, and from CID 07's (Jackie Chan) pursuit of two petty thieves to the massive car pile-up you would ever see on screen.It's nonstop laughs and gags from start to finish, with a good helping of Kung-Fu action, especially during the well-choreographed and funny ballroom showdown at Jack Tar's (James Tien) mansion, and excellent acting by all the actors involved. In addition to the starring roles of the five friends and the co-starring role of Jackie Chan, you also get a wide range of cameo appearances from Yuen Biao, Moon Lee, Lam Ching-Ying, Wu Ma and the team of stunt-men who appear on screen from Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan's team. And, the beautiful Cherie Chung starring as the female lead is definitely a treat.Any fan of Hong Kong movies would appreciate the action and HK humor this movie has to offer. It's a great good guy vs. bad guy story that all would find very entertaining.Grade A

Andrei Pavlov By "kitaiskiy yeralash" I mean a unique mixture of comedy and action with nice music and childish slapstick Well, have mentioned it all already. The reason I like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars" better is the Chinese soundtrack and a more vivid picture. Here only the English soundtrack is present on the DVD. Though the Russian soundtrack is much clearer than in the later movie.Sammo Hung shines as bright as possible. His face is more baby-looking than ever. He is brawling in the toughest manner for a man of his sizes and weight. I like it extremely.Almost every single "Lucky Stars" man has a chance to fight in this movie. That's the sight for the sore eye. Especially Exhaust Pipe's boxing. Lots of laughter it can give. And there's "Stolichnaya Vodka" on the table. Ha ha. I did not believe my eyes at first. And the vodka was burning like pure alcohol. Ha ha. Sammo looks great with the bottle of our good old vodka bottle in his hand.I was missing Blockhead (from a later movie) though. He could have been very handy with his trash-talk.Still, not as good as the final incarnation, which is a polished product.A high mark - a 7 out of 10 - because Sammo Hung holds a bottle of our vodka in his hand and plays a fakir near the end of the movie. Thanks for attention.

greenie4242 I first saw this movie years ago on TV when I was pretty young and the entire family was in stitches from laughing so hard. It's full of pointless almost slapstick humour, but all done in such an entertaining way that it fits in beautifully with the plot. It has one of the best highway pile-up scenes I've ever seen in a movie, not completely overdone like most movies these days but done in a believable and funny way. Highly recommend this movie to just about anybody. I found the DVD at a rental store years later and took it to a friends's place for a party and everybody loved it. I'm watching it as I write this review, and my stomach is hurting from laughing so hard.

FinnishChanFan Well, i bought Winners and Sinners, then i heard, Jackie has a pretty small role. It's true. Jackie appears only in couple fights. He doesnt take part to the final fight. But it doesnt matter. The film is great! I like Samo hung's films a lot. Especially i like the 'lucky stars' series, cos the humor is simple, funny and very unique. Humor is stupid and childish, but it fits in just right. I personally like Richard Ng. He is so funny! Of course there is good fight scenes and stunts. And the massive car crash is great in a low budget movie! Dont let Jackie's short appearance spoil the movie. Dont think this movie as a Jackie Chan movie. Think it as 'The lucky stars' movie!
