Hilarious comedy action flick with Jackie!
Jackie Chan plays a cop, but is not the main star of this movie. The main stars are a bunch of Hong Kong comedian/actors who play a group of ex-cons that start a cleaning business together, until the HK triad leaves a briefcase full of counterfeit money and printing plates in their cleaning van during a getaway. That's when the fun starts.

The main actor is played by Sammo Hung (yes, the fat guy who can fight), who grew up with Jackie Chan studying kung-fu. He stars with Jackie in some of his classics such as Dragons Forever and Project A.

This is one of the funniest HK movies I have ever seen. And although Jackie plays a secondary role, some of the stunts that he pulls are amazing, the best being him rollerskating from one car to another and beneath a moving truck on a crowded highway, which is followed by a 50-car smash-up.

A nice addition to any Jackie Chan/HK movie collection. I would give this 4 stars, but I already gave Who Am I? 4 stars, which is obviously much better.

JACKIE IS NOT THE STAR! This film is silly but nice silly, you know? It is about a group of ex-cons who try to go clean after being released from prison.

One of the Best Kung-Fu Comedy Films
The "Lucky Stars" crew which includes Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Jacky Chan, etc. show what Kung-Fu Comedy is all about. This is one of my all time favorite Kung-Fu Comedies, I liked it better than "My Lucky Stars" one of my other favorites. Sammo and Jacky display their fighting skills (although Jacky had a minor role) and Richard Ng is hilarious especially in the "invisible" scene. Their fight scenes (again Richard splits my sides with his "rope-a-dope" boxing) and scams just made me keep rewinding and laughing. This is definitely one to add to your Martial Arts Collection.

Underrated film!!!
Ok, so Jackie Chan had a background role in this film and most of the humour was immature. However, I really liked it, especially the invisible scene. Unfortunately, the subtitled version is now out of print.

A fun movie
Not so much a Jackie Chan movie, but still a fun movie that anybody will enjoy. Some good fights and great stunts by Chan. ... Read more

"It's an epic!" howls one of the fighters in the free-for-all finale, overwhelmed by the sheer number of characters that get crowded into a single room, all pounding away at each other. Indeed, every comic actor and most of the leading action stars in Hong Kong in 1983 seem to have been squeezed into this amiable kung fu comedy--there are even tiny cameo appearances by several famous movie directors (Ann Hui, Tsui Hark, Wu Ma). This picture marks the debut of a loose-knit group of farce-action stalwarts, the Five Lucky Stars, stumble-bum reformed crooks who attempt to go straight by setting up a cleaning service, but can't seem to help getting into tons of trouble. The Stars went on to appear in several sequels, including My Lucky Stars. Jackie Chan, as a cop pursuing the hapless crooks, is essentially the straight man here, and he seems to be using a stunt double in some of his big scenes. This is a close as Chan ever got to phoning in a performance. --David Chute ... Read more

Lightearted and Funny
Oh, I expected to see a little bit more of Jackie Chan in this movie.He is maybe in about one qurter of the movie.I did very much enjoy his acrobatics, besides the martial arts segments.I was happy to see that Yuen Biao had a brief appearance.And yes, I know it is mainly Sammo Hung's movie and the crew was charming.The movie had some martial arts segments, but it's more of a con-comedy.And a scene where about 50 old cars got smashed seemed oh, way too many.
