Fuk sing go jiu

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.....

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.

Jackie's got a smaller, more serious role here, but I'd say it's worth it. You gotta have a penchant for goofy stuff though. This group is pretty enjoyable together, and the bits with Chan battling his way through the Haunted House is well worth it. Sort of a "minor" Jackie fil,m, it's worth a watch.

It is the second film in the series after Winners and Sinners. Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars is the film after this one. I would certainly recommend this series of movies. My favourite parts of this film are the fight scenes, but the funniest moments are when Sammo Hung is with his friends e.g. the scene where they pretend that there are robbers in their house to get close to Sibelle Hu. I like the end of the film as there is a lot of fighting between Jackie Chan and Dick Wei, Sammo and Lau Kar Wing and Yuen Biao and Lam Ching Ying. This is definitely the film, which made me watch martial art movies, particularly when they are comedies.

Funny! This is a very classic kind of kung-fu comedy.
