"It's an epic!" howls one of the fighters in the free-for-all finale, overwhelmed by the sheer number of characters that get crowded into a single room, all pounding away at each other. Indeed, every comic actor and most of the leading action stars in Hong Kong in 1983 seem to have been squeezed into this amiable kung fu comedy--there are even tiny cameo appearances by several famous movie directors (Ann Hui, Tsui Hark, Wu Ma). This picture marks the debut of a loose-knit group of farce-action stalwarts, the Five Lucky Stars, stumble-bum reformed crooks who attempt to go straight by setting up a cleaning service, but can't seem to help getting into tons of trouble. The Stars went on to appear in several sequels, including My Lucky Stars. Jackie Chan, as a cop pursuing the hapless crooks, is essentially the straight man here, and he seems to be using a stunt double in some of his big scenes. This is a close as Chan ever got to phoning in a performance. --David Chute ... Read more

Not much Chan in this one!
I didn't care that much for this film--I checked it out to seea Jackie Chan movie, but he's not really in this one that much,although the two longer scenes he is in are good ones, and generally the fight scenes are pretty entertaining. However, the humor in this one seemed moronic to me, and there was SOOOO much of it! But if you really like Sammo Hung and his sense of humor, you'll love it.

Winners And Sinners (1983)
JACKIE IS NOT THE STAR! This film is silly but nice silly, you know? It is about a group of ex-cons who try to go clean after being released from prison.

One of the Best Kung-Fu Comedy Films
The "Lucky Stars" crew which includes Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Jacky Chan, etc. show what Kung-Fu Comedy is all about. This is one of my all time favorite Kung-Fu Comedies, I liked it better than "My Lucky Stars" one of my other favorites. Sammo and Jacky display their fighting skills (although Jacky had a minor role) and Richard Ng is hilarious especially in the "invisible" scene. Their fight scenes (again Richard splits my sides with his "rope-a-dope" boxing) and scams just made me keep rewinding and laughing. This is definitely one to add to your Martial Arts Collection.

Underrated film!!!
Ok, so Jackie Chan had a background role in this film and most of the humour was immature. However, I really liked it, especially the invisible scene. Unfortunately, the subtitled version is now out of print.

A fun movie
Not so much a Jackie Chan movie, but still a fun movie that anybody will enjoy. Some good fights and great stunts by Chan. ... Read more
