While the synopsis does give an account of the plot of this movie, itmakes the film out to be a serious martial arts movie, which it reallyisnt.
It is at heart a comedy film, a very good, incredibly sillycomedy film.
If you are a fan of old eighties and late seventies chan films, with thewonderfully silly dubbing and slapstick action then you will love thisfilm, its ranks as one of chans best, although he isnt in it as much asyou expect.
Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Bao team up with a gang of hong kongheavyweight actors, in an absolutely silly and sleazy, but brilliantmovie.
If you buy it you wont be dissapointed.

Format:VHS Tape
One of the funniest films I've ever seen . . . intentionally and unintetnionally. Some of the scenes are comic genuis, and the fact it's all low budget and poorly shot makes it even more hilarious. Dubbed over American accents give a bit of flavour too. Treat it with your tongue in your cheek, and you'll be showing it to all your friends!!!

With the brilliant pairing of five Hong Kong actors and random Jackie Chan fighting was birthed the transcendent filmmaking high-water mark known as Ng Fuk Sing, the "Five Lucky Stars." A ragtag band of two-bit criminals, the Lucky Stars met in jail where they formed an invincible union dedicated to groping comely young women and engaging in embarrassing hijinks. Among them is the infamous comedy bit where master of comedy Richard Ng strips naked and walks around believing that he's invisible. Meanwhile, the other lucky stars make comments about his privates and attempt to watch a soccer game. That they're in the middle of a counterfeiting scam is unknown to them. Their simple existence of cleaning houses and lusting after Cherie Chung is enough to sustain them. Thankfully, the danger they face from the evil baddies is offset by the aid of Jackie Chan as a young cop who destroys property like no one's business. Okay, I'm being facetious. The first Lucky Stars film is actually quite annoying, but it came during a time when HK audiences went to theaters to see exactly what this film provides: lots of nonsensical weirdness. And those audiences loved the stuff. To be totally honest, there is enough enjoyment in this film to make it an entertaining no-brainer. The fights are impressive and some of the comedy is really quite funny. Despite appearing in his birthday suit, Richard Ng is a fine comedian. Sammo Hung does a decent job both behind and in front of the camera, and Jackie Chan shows charisma in whatever short sequences he appears in. However, he's completely absent from the finale, which means we're left with some truly hilarious kung-fu posing from Charlie Ching. Most of Ching's HK work was small roles in inconsequential films, but he's one of the funniest things about this movie. Also, points are given for the presence of an adorable (and young) Cherie Chung. =op

More Sammo Hung than Jackie Chan but still a lot of fun
Chan plays a rough Hong Kong cop who is not the trail of a counterfiting group. This is fairly entertaining, not as good as Wheels on Meals or Operation Condor but still a lot of... Read more
