Thomas Hardcastle I know this is a Sammo Hung film, and in some ways Sammo Hung's films are superior to Jackie Chan's films. The problem with this film is that if you're not into the slightly over-the-top, Carry-On-esquire lecherous comedy, you'll probably ending up skipping forward to the fight scenes.The film does not follow Jackie in the same way that it would were it a Jackie Chan film. Chan is given just as much screen time as all of the Lucky Stars.Many of the gags are sight gags that are easy to understand, if somewhat immature for most tastes, but there are some jokes that lose a lot in translation.The fighting, when there is any, is either incredible, when being displayed by Sammo, Jackie, or the one scene with Juen Biao, or comedic and unnecessary when we watch the Lucky Stars in combat.The three brothers (Sammo, Jackie and Yuen) fight incredibly, in a fast, entertaining and more realistic manner than Jackie and Sammo's films of the seventies. The only problem is that the fights are few and far-between. The fact that Yuen Biao is only on screen for a couple of minutes adds insult to injury and leaves you wanting more.Overall, you might enjoy this film, if you're into the kind of comedy that this film clearly aims to produce. The acting is slightly exaggerated, and there isn't enough fighting, or enough of Jackie or Yuen Biao for my tastes. There are funnier Chan and Hung films out there, and there are better comedies and better fights - even better Lucky Stars movies. All in all this, by their high standards, is a rather average film.

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.

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!

Jack Yan No, don't blame it on the translators. Even in Cantonese, this Sammo Hung-led comedy (and directed by Hung) is a bonkers film that only Hong Kong could turn out when people could enjoy themselves at the cinema instead of being trapped at the stock market with cellphones.Famous HK stars accompany Hung, including Richard Ng and John Shum (in his usual comedic style), while Jackie Chan has a minor role as a CID detective. There really isn't much of a story - far less so than usual - but the stunts are over-the-top and enjoyable just for their destruction. Plenty of comed y is injected into the kung-fu fight scenes, too.It's not for most people - this sort of Hong Kong comedy is more of an acquired taste than the Jackie Chan stuntoramas. See it if you like the style of film; otherwise you'll just sit in front of the telly puzzled.
