FIVE STARS FOR LUCKY
Before we start, I need to set one thing straight. THIS IS NOT A JACKIE CHAN MOVIE! This is a film that features an ensmble cast of frequent hong kong players. Jackie Chan is included(and has one of the best fight scenes of his career)but is very limited. This is a fun stylish(very stylish)martial arts comedy. Starts off with an explosively funny and exciting car chase and a small fight.(ninjas in blue? Of course)This sets the plot in motion and the next hour is mostly comedy scetches that introduce the five lucky stars. The humor is very strange but very amusing.(also very juvinile,if that,but still very funny) It's interesting to see humor from other countries. A very different sense of humor than the US, but i like it. It is, however,an aquired taste(consider this your warning) The final fight scene(s) are among the most fun and original That I have ever seen, so even if you don't like the humor, the climax is alone worth it! Sammo is a fantastic director and if you like his style of directing, I highly reccomend it. I have seen all the movies featuring Jackie Chan as well. This is in the top 3 that i have seen. (the others being police story and rumble in the bronx) i also reccomend getting the dvd. the video is poorly dubbed and scenes are chopped up. the subtitles on the dvd is fantastic and the widescreen is great in a 1.85 aspect ratio.

Very Hard to Follow, but Very Enjoyable Once You Get It
This was the first subtitled Jackie Chan (sorta) movie I ever got, and I will have to say that it was quite possibly the worst choice for the first in the world. When I read on the back that Jackie was in Japan, I thought that it was written by some idiot who thinks that Jackie Chan is Japanese; but when he called his superior in Hong Kong, and the phone had a Japanese flag, I got REALLY confused! There's also a scene in which the Lucky Stars (the five main characters) get in a sticky situation, and must be recognized by a gang as being good people by speaking with the same Cantonese accent.

I sadly couldn't reach the ending the first couple of times I sat to watch it. However, after a month or so, I finally caught on, and discovered that once you get into the right state of mind (and after those two parts), it's quite easy to enjoy! Following it accurately no longer mattered to me!

Why? It's because I discovered the secret: this movie is all about the characters and the situations of the present scenes! Even the complete absense of Jackie Chan through 65% of this movie no longer mattered; the Lucky Stars were all very real, and VERY likable! The sequences with them lusting over Ba Wah are all very amusing, and the fight scenes (which DOES NOT include Benny "The Jet" Urquidez) in the end are all great!

My Lucky Stars is enjoyable fun from beggining to end. Once you get through the strangeness of the movie, it could dominate your next week's worth of nights by making you watch it over and over again! Have fun, and enjoy!

A good movie, but not Chan's best.
This is a great movie, and it has a wonderful plot. The humor is dead-on, and I really enjoyed the action in it. Might not be one of the movies you watch to see just Jackie, but it's wonderful to see Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao (though he's not in it very much) and Jackie Chan working together. The acting is good, and it's great to watch in subtitles or voice-over. I'd suggest anyone who's a fan of Jackie Chan or of Chinese import action-comedy movies to buy this movie. You won't regret it.
