Advantages: Who would have though alcohol makes you stronger????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Fight scenes too fast.........could even be an advantage???????!!!!!!!

Drunken master....where do I start. This movie has everything from realistic and innovative fight scenes, to comedy at its finest. The thing which struck me the most about this movie was that there was an absolutely perfect balance between comedy and martial arts action. Plot summary: "Jackie Chan plays a young man who's more interested in carousing and causing trouble than he is in learning martial arts. His father tries, unsuccessfully, to punish ... Read review

Advantages: The choreographed fights scenes won't let you down
Disadvantages: Too many cast to concentrate or relate to. Too much libidos

...the same cast. ‘Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars (TTLS)’ is an action comedy, just like the two previous instalments. The mighty Sammo Hung directed the film as well as starring in it. The cast I remember seeing in ‘Winners and Sinners’ were Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Stanley Fung, John Sham and Richard Ng. Eric Tsang was supposingly introduced in ‘My Lucky Stars’ and ‘Twinkles’ introduced a young and handsome character called ‘Pagodo’ (Michael Miu). With ...
...assume that there would be outstanding fighting scenes without a double. This was true. If ‘Winners and Sinners’ is believed to be the funniest out of the instalments, then TTLS, in my opinion, is definitely more action orientated. Sammo Hung was able to choreograph several breathtaking fight scenes, which enable the trio to demonstrate their potential. This time, Hung was also able to introduce new talents within the fight, such as Andy Lau. My ... Read review

Advantages: Full of good action

Like many Jackie Chan vehicles, is just as enjoyable even if seen in a non-English version. With a few exceptions, the plot simply serves to space out stunt and action scenes that are among the best--and funniest--Chan has ever done.As survivors of the pirate band vow revenge on Sergeant Dragon Mao (Jackie Chan).

...standard Hong Kong film, Chan took every chance to push himself to the limit. The detailed sets, which recreate late 19th century Hong Kong in exquisite detail, have been used in numerous films since.

...parts 1 and 2 but Wheels on Meals is a firm favourite. Right from the off we see Chan and Yuen in their Spanish apartment and an inspired visual joke in the bedroom. This is essentially a showcase for all three's martial arts skills and acrobatics which are displayed to great effect all through the film. Yuen Biao is often seen as the lesser of the 3 and is certainly the least well known after Chan's Hollywood career and Martial Law for Hung but ... Read review

Advantages: Jackie Chan against Tae Kwon Do,
Disadvantages: He is getting old

His first Police Story movies were heartfelt with justice and morals, I never thought he had any more of that acting in him, but he proved me wrong with this movie, it was completely emotional from the point of him losing his comrades in the force to him trying his best to save his girlfriend, The story is about a gang of rich kids who have brought heavy arms off the interent, and have begun a game of robbing banks, only not to get away, but instead ...
