Winners and sinners

I don't know why but I like that kind of movie.This movie haven't got a story but it's filled with great stunts and silly comedy.One of the great stunts is when Jackie drives under a truck with rollerskates and so makes a giant crash (up to 40 cars!).Who likes Hong Kong movies of that kind must see "Winners & Sinners!

A group of petty thieves who meet in prison decide to go straight and start a cleaning business when they get out. Meanwhile CID 07 (Jackie Chan) is on the trail of a counterfeiter whose printing plates get lost and wind up in the cleaning van owned by our five reformed heroes. Available in both dubbed full-screen and subtitled widescreen version

The first in the Lucky stars series is, as other entries, is daft, zany and fun. The best comic scene is the bit where one of the Lucky stars strips naked and walks around believing that he's invisible, while the others act like they don't see him. Of course, the usual lusting after the girl - in this case Cherie Chung - scene is here, but there's no pervy scenes. As for the action, Jackie, in a downsized appearance, gets in a full on high speed car chase on roller skates, and ducks underneath a lorry, plus there's a car chase ending in a 50-car pileup. There's some frenetically comic kungfu, but comedy takes precedence. Along with My Lucky Stars this is a strong entry.

'Winners & Sinners' is not only the best Sammo Hung movie I've seen, but it's also the best altogether Hong Kong Comedy I've seen. The film combines elements of crime-comedies and Kung Fu films and has a surprisingly high amount of variety.

What also makes the film brilliant are the characters. Every single one of them is very memorable, particularly goofy 'Exhaust Pipe'. Teapot is a typical protagonist of Hung's movies, but very uplifting none the less. Jackie Chan's supporting role is also great and though I probably would have preferred him in the lead he is still incredibly funny as the clumsy cop of the film.

Overall, the film is simply hilarious. The amount of gags is almost unhealthy and this movie ensures that you will be laughing your head off.

I recently watched 'Winners and Sinners' with some friends when we thought we should celebrate Jackie Chan's birthday. After viewing it, maybe we could have a chosen a movie that featured more Jackie Chan in it. Oh well, maybe I'll celebrate Sammo Hung's next birthday (whenever it may be) by watching 'Around the World in 80 Days'.

'Winners and Sinners' is the first 'Lucky Stars' movie. Now 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars' makes a whole lot more sense, even though its been a few years since I've seen it. Five inmates befriend each other in prison, and when they are released, they form the 'Five Star Cleaning Service', only to find themselves in the middle of a Triad war.

'Winners and Sinners' is much more of a Sammo Hung film than a Jackie Chan film. Sammo directed and starred in this, while Jackie had a minor role as CID officer. Yuen Biao and Moon Lee even had a short cameo in a scene where Biao and Chan have a short fight. However, most of action is performed by Hung, and he pulls it off very well.

Apart from some entertaining action, 'Winners and Sinners' is one of those rather silly Hong Kong comedies that fans of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan - especially their 80s work - should be somewhat familiar with. Some people will find it funny - I did, but others might not be amused.

'Winners and Sinners' is a nicely-done action / comedy, maybe not for everyone though - 7/10

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!
