    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The 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.
    • Goofs
      In 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.
    • Quotes

      Rookie: Of course you do it; the smart ones talk and the dumb ones act.

    • Alternate versions
      In 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.

    The Definitive Hong Kong Comedy
    '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.
