“I recently watched u0026#39;Winners and Sinnersu0026#39; with some friends when we thought we should celebrate Jackie Chanu0026#39;s birthday. After viewing it, maybe we could have a chosen a movie that featured more Jackie Chan in it. Oh well, maybe Iu0026#39;ll celebrate Sammo Hungu0026#39;s next birthday (whenever it may be) by watching u0026#39;Around the World in 80 Daysu0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026#39;Winners and Sinnersu0026#39; is the first u0026#39;Lucky Starsu0026#39; movie. Now u0026#39;Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Starsu0026#39; makes a whole lot more sense, even though its been a few years since Iu0026#39;ve seen it. Five inmates befriend each other in prison, and when they are released, they form the u0026#39;Five Star Cleaning Serviceu0026#39;, only to find themselves in the middle of a Triad war.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026#39;Winners and Sinnersu0026#39; is much more of a Sammo Hung film than a Jackie Chan film. Sammo directed and starred in this, while Jackie had a minor role as CID officer. Yuen Biao and Moon Lee even had a short cameo in a scene where Biao and Chan have a short fight. However, most of action is performed by Hung, and he pulls it off very well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eApart from some entertaining action, u0026#39;Winners and Sinnersu0026#39; is one of those rather silly Hong Kong comedies that fans of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan – especially their 80s work – should be somewhat familiar with. Some people will find it funny – I did, but others might not be amused.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026#39;Winners and Sinnersu0026#39; is a nicely-done action / comedy, maybe not for everyone though – 7/10”
