“The third Lucky Star film is both the best and the worst. First of all,it has some absolutely superb action,including Jackie Chan,Yuen Biao and Andy Lau taking on loads of villains in a warehouse,Chan chasing and battling Richard Norton down some streets and Samo Hung battling a dagger wielding Japanese villain with tennis rackets. Hungu0026#39;s fight choreography is at itu0026#39;s best here,really pushing himself and his other stars to the limits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately this is the least funny of the films. Most of the time it just replays gags from the previous two films,and the u0026#39;five horny guys in the same house as a womanu0026#39; schtick seems even more like sexual harassment and goes on for ever. The plot,although not really that important,was obviously cobbled together in a rush and makes no sense at all. Chan has slightly more footage than in the other two films but due to an injury done on another film he was shooting at the same time doesnu0026#39;;t feature much in the final action.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThese Lucky Stars films are really odd. When they are good,as in most of the action,they are excellent. When they are bad,as in a great deal of the comedy which simply doesnu0026#39;t travel well,they really drag and one is tempted to just fast forward to the next fight scene. At least this one has a great cameo from Michelle Yeoh as a fight instructor and what seems like half of the Hong Kong stars of the time coming out of a lift at the end.”
