The "Lucky Stars" movies...

[lillippa328]

what do yall think of these movies? I have seen the first 2...but how are the other 3?The first 2 are pretty good, but a little too much comedy and too less fighting for my likes....

I like them a lot, although for some reason I didn't really get into twinkle twinkle lucky stars.

Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars has the best action, in my opinon. But, I think My Lucky Stars is the best all around. Lucky Stars Go Places is a little less than okay, but it is enjoyable. Winners and Sinners is great. Retun of... is just a lot of fun, the funniest in the series, but no Sammo means that the action from the others is missing.

Overall I really like the first 3, but the actions scenes are the only parts that get repeated viewing. The car crash scene in Winners and Sinners is one of my favorite HK movie scenes. So over the top, and soooo funny:D

I remember being kind of shocked watching the second one where the guys are discussing raping that chick in shower, but it was kind of funny.

The third one I was starting to get sick of this gang of rejects trying to cop a feel in ever scene. The action is still worth watching, but the gags get tiresome.

I loved Winners and Sinners (the scene where Wu Ma, as the mailman, sees Richard Ng naked because Ng thinks he is invisible, was hilarious).

My Lucky Stars is my favorite of the bunch. The robber gag plus the action was definitely top notch.

Loved Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars as well, but only for the action. The comic relief wasn't as good as the previous installment, but the action's kicked up a notch.

Lucky Stars Go Places, decent and watchable, but didn't have the charm that made the previous films what it was. Yet I did like Sammo Hung's climatic fight against Japanese superkicker Tetsuya Matsui, plus his chemistry with Karl Maka was funny at times.

No one's mentioned, GHOST PUNTING (1992) or HOW TO MEET THE LUCKY STARS (1996) yet. I haven't seen them; are they worth searching out?

[TrickyNicky]

Winners and Sinners is the most genuinely funny of the three, IMO. Which makes sense, since this is the first. The action is just ok as far as fight scenes go. The fighting scene in the party where Exhaust Pipe dances around the guy and barely touches the baddie, cracks me up every time.

My Lucky Stars, like others have said, doesn't do anything the best, but it hits all the right notes and is the best all around movie in the series.

Twinkle Twinkle is just outrageous and bizarre. But its a hell of a lot of fun too. Any movie with tranny assassins and para-gliding bazooka-shooting hit-men is tops in my book. I love the ending.

I haven't seen any of the others after the main three.

[Asmo]

Yeah, I've never seen any of them after "Twinkle Twinkle". I've heard things about "Lucky Stars Go Places", but how are the other two?

Best comedy scene: My Lucky Stars the restaurant scene with the mushroom: classic!
Best fight scene: Twinkle Twinkle the obvious one
Best Chick: Cherie Chung in winners and sinners

[shelliegal]

i like them but my favorites are definitely my lucky stars, winners and sinners (so hilarious), and twinkle twinkle lucky stars for the action and more yuen biao scenes.

i love sammo in all of them. off-topic, but kung fu panda's Po reminds me of sammo.

Best comedy scene: My Lucky Stars the restaurant scene with the mushroom: classic!

This scene is all the more funny when watched in Eng. Dub from the Fox release. The Japenese waiter dub had my friends and I rolling in laughter. We often quote this scene in passing.
"Ah haha Coffee!"

My Lucky Stars: my favorite.
Winners & Sinners: A funny movie, the invisible gag is almost as good as the Restaurant scene mentioned above.
Twinkle Twinkle: Too messy, but has a great opening and closing. Not really worth owning IMO

I can't remember which one I saw (the IMDB original title started with "Fuk"), but it had Jackie Chan in an Arale costume from Dr. Slump. I thought the movie was great, and I need to get the rest of them. (Ahh, it was My Lucky Stars).

I *HAD* that one, but it was one of the Fox Fortune Star releases, and had edits, or dubtitles or something, and I got rid of it in preparation for a non-region 1 release.
