Advantages: Full of good action
Disadvantages: hardly any

Like many Jackie Chan vehicles, is just as enjoyable even if seen in a non-English version.

Advantages: Stunt work, trio action, slapstick comedy
Disadvantages: Storyline slightly poor I guess, not the usual standards.

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.

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

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
