Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's Chinese title, "Five Lucky Stars", was chosen as it was evocative of the Seven Little Fortunes (The Lucky Seven). The Seven Little Fortunes was the name of the performance troupe that included Hung, Chan, and Yuen, while they attended the Peking Opera School, The China Drama Academy, as children.
- GoofsIn the Maxim scene, before Jackie Chan's character discharges his firearm, there's a woman in blue seen smiling. In the following shot after the gun is fired, a man takes her place instead.
- Alternate versionsIn the international print of the film, during the night market scene, the kung fu scene and the blind musicians singing Rod Stewart's "Young Turks" was cut, mainly because international audiences did not understand or react well to it instead of any political messages relating to the latter.

Featured review
This movie rules!
'Winners and Sinners' is one of the funniest movies ever made. First disappointed by the fact, that Jackie Chan's part is pretty small, I started to love the other characters of the movie, especially Teapot (Samo Hung) and Exhaust Pipe (Richard Ng). It's very funny to see, how the members of the 'gang' get arrested (especially Exhaust Pipe trying to steal the wheels of a police officer's car while he is searching his keys).
The humor of the movie is mostly created by the funny dialogues and the stunning fight scenes, which also are, at times, very funny. But if you don't like this kind of 'silly' fun, you won't enjoy this movie. But I did. More than once ore twice (I saw this movie about 30 times). But I must admit, that my relationship to this movie is kind of special. It is one of the movies I have ever seen.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend this movie to everyone who likes silly fun and stunning fight sequences!
P.S.: If you like this movie, watch other 'five lucky stars' - movies like 'Fuk sing go jiu'!
