It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I am a new fan of Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. So any movie I find him in, I watch. I love his comedic escapades the best. I especially adore anything in which he appears that includes Jackie Chan and others from their drama school. I have not seen the first movie in this franchise, but have it on my list to watch. My Lucky Stars is a great ensemble movie. It gives enough time to each character to either endear him or make you wish something awful happened to him. These men are Criminal Specialists, perhaps not the brightest Criminal Specialists, but they manage to keep one step ahead of the law - for the most part. Watching Kidstuff/Fastbuck and the others interact is like a family reunion. They joke and harass each other like brothers. When times gets tough, they are there for each other. Even if it's reluctantly, as they do with Muscles (Jackie Chan), who was once like them but became a cop. The only thing I didn't like was Kidstuff wearing the yellow sweatsuit. He looks like Pikachu. An ass kicking Pikachu, but Pikachu nonetheless. There seems to be someone in an all yellow outfit at some point in any movie I've seen in which both Jackie and Sammo appear. I wonder if it's an inside joke. If you like realistic looking fight scenes, comedy and camaraderie, this is a good movie to watch. I give it an 8 because everything could be improved in every movie I've seen. Cannot wait to find Lucky Stars 2 to see what other shenanigans this group encounters.

This film is another under the radar gem from both my favorite Martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. It's not quite a favorite of my nor do I feel it's one of their best in my book but still it was a fun entry all the same.Not much to say for the film, the plot which by it's nature is a clothesline just to get the ensemble cast together, kinda like with "Oceans Eleven". I really do like the ensemble they consist mainly of comedic actors whom are really popular in the Hong Kong scene. One of my favorites of the ensemble is the guy that plays Sandy, his character is bizarre but really funny. He's suppose to be a con man that is faking craziness just to stay at the asylum for free for the meals; though the guy might have been spending a little too much time there as he's developed this delusion that he has psychic powers which of course he doesn't.But of course were really hear for Sammo, Jackie, and even Yuen Biao despite in the film very briefly. As usually both Sammo and Jackie are really good at being their regular selves, and I really like the chemistry between both of them despite brief which is one weak point of the film for me. Even like there is a little depth on their friendship as there is a slight strain because of the fact both went different directions which just all the more want us for them to be together again.The music is very good, I really love that end credit theme song which is another of my favorite theme songs of all time, it's has both a fun and exciting tone to it.The comedy is solid, I really like that betting gag where someone has a hair brained scheme to make quick money which of course we easily guess doesn't work out, or where the crew is playing charades to get their eats, let alone seeing Jackie in a mascot costume which looks like one of those My Buddy dolls.The action is great as usual, from the beginning battle at the outside of the amusement park, the confined space fight with ninjas at Jackies's home, though of course my favorite is the battle at the Haunted House which is one of my favorite battles of all time. What I love about it how it is structured, it's kinda like a video game where there are different sections which present different obstacles much like stages in video games.And of course one of my favorite one on one with the female cop of the group against this Japanise Woman (forgot her name) whom is built and I thought is fraking hot, she definitely looks great in that ahem aerobic get up. The fight between them is both exciting and erotic, what can I say there is something about a fight between two attractive females that a turn on for me, I'm honestly not sure why.The only bad things are not all of the comedy works, like that whole tieing up gag I thought was redundant and old, really slowed things up. Most of the ensemble don't really have much to do in the mission, it should of been more like a heist film where each team member has something to contribute. Let alone the middle was a bit slow not much happened but once the third act begun when Jackie comes back in the picture (which took a great deal of time) things got going again.Overall this is another solid martial arts gem, if your a fan of both Jackie and Sammo then this is worth a look, it's a lucky find.Rating: 3 stars

This movie was very funny! Sammo Hung has a true sense of humor. There was more comedy than action present, but it works out just fine. Jackie isn't the star of the movie. I think it works out better that way. The movie wasn't meant to be all action, but comedy mostly. The cameos were excellent!! Dick Wei's usual villainous role doesn't surprise me, but he shows off his moves and throws down in this movie!! Jackie, Yuen, and Sammo's chemistry on screen is incredible. I wonder when they trained at the Peking Opera School, did they ever think that they would use their skills on screen? Anyway, Eric Tsang is a very funny, versatile actor. His childish antics in this movie are hilarious. If you want to watch hilarious HK comedy, go meet the Lucky Stars!! They're all that and a bag of Kung Fu.

this was more comedy than action, but i still enjoyed it. not enough jackie though. more of him in it, and all the lack of action would have been forgiven. but the action that exists is good and fun. my least favorite of the kung-fu-teers films that ive seen, but still enjoyable.
