I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is probably Sammo Hung's best work before embarking on his venture to start D&B films. All star cast graces this movie including Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. Other stars reads like who's who of Hong Kong movie industry of the '80s. Five ex cons and a girl starts a cleaning service. They just try to make their living, but soon they get involved with local gangsters, by taking their brief case filled with counterfeit money. What results is a mayhem of trouble and actions relating to the six of them. They find themselves in all sorts of strange situations, and compromising positions, but they use their ingenuity to get the best of the gangsters.It's hard to tell if this is a comedy or an action movie. Most of the actors are not action stars, but regular movie actors, so it's not like endless action scenes in Jackie Chan's movies. It's more like old school Hong Kong comedy with some good actions inserted in between the story. Some action scenes involving Jackie Chan is a classic, like the one he hangs on to a car wearing his roller skates during a chase.This is one of the classics from the '80s, and is recommended for viewing.

Well, i bought Winners and Sinners, then i heard, Jackie has a pretty small role. It's true. Jackie appears only in couple fights. He doesnt take part to the final fight. But it doesnt matter. The film is great! I like Samo hung's films a lot. Especially i like the 'lucky stars' series, cos the humor is simple, funny and very unique. Humor is stupid and childish, but it fits in just right. I personally like Richard Ng. He is so funny! Of course there is good fight scenes and stunts. And the massive car crash is great in a low budget movie! Dont let Jackie's short appearance spoil the movie. Dont think this movie as a Jackie Chan movie. Think it as 'The lucky stars' movie!

This film is one of the best films from Jackie Chan. It's a good mixture, comedy and martial arts. The gang in the film is very silly and if you look Jackie Chan films you will see them again.It's a very good film, you have to see it.

No, don't blame it on the translators. Even in Cantonese, this Sammo Hung-led comedy (and directed by Hung) is a bonkers film that only Hong Kong could turn out when people could enjoy themselves at the cinema instead of being trapped at the stock market with cellphones.Famous HK stars accompany Hung, including Richard Ng and John Shum (in his usual comedic style), while Jackie Chan has a minor role as a CID detective. There really isn't much of a story - far less so than usual - but the stunts are over-the-top and enjoyable just for their destruction. Plenty of comed y is injected into the kung-fu fight scenes, too.It's not for most people - this sort of Hong Kong comedy is more of an acquired taste than the Jackie Chan stuntoramas. See it if you like the style of film; otherwise you'll just sit in front of the telly puzzled.
