Purely Joyful Movie!
One of my all time favorites.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Some people just don't understand this movie. It isn't about plot it's about jokes and martial arts. It's just fun to watch. The jokes are pretty simple but they still are funny, especially when you get to know the characters of this movie better. The fighting scenes were unbelievable. It's much better than in Hollywood movies. The warehouse fighting scene is one of the best fighting scenes I've ever seen. Many people think that the best films of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao is Wheels on Meals or Dragons Forever, but I like Lucky Stars series more. Althou some people may be disappointed because Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao appeared only in few scenes but that's OK to me because other actors did a great job to and there was no boring moments in this film. I gave it 10/10 and it's worth it because it's really fun to watch.
The script is totally incoherent (something about a letter that could expose a criminal organization... don't even bother to think about it), and most of the comedy is lame, but the action is fast and exhilarating. Jackie has a small part and barely any dialogue in this one; I also would have liked to see more of the gifted Yuen Biao, who has a way of making even the most amazing stunts seem effortless. Sammo Hung gets the lion's share of the fighting, and at the end he is pitted against Richard Norton, one of the most worthy villains of Jackie Chan movies. I give "Twinkle" * for the comedy and *** for the action, so the average is **.
Awwww Man!!! HK action is great!! Twinkle Twinkle My Lucky Stars (A.K.A. My Lucky Stars 2) surpasses the two previous installments, Winners And Sinners and the first My Lucky Stars. I admit though, the movie starts slow at first, but its WELL worth the watch. The warehouse fight scene was excellent!! A young Andy Lau has some good moves for a non-martial artist. Jackie and Yuen Biao are at their usual, taken baddies down with acrobatic aerial moves and kicks. The climax was also off the hook, with Richard Norton matching up against Sammo Hung. Some of the best choreography is shown in this movie. Once again, Jackie is not the limelight of this action flick. That is still great because everybody has a chance to get involved in this film.One more thing... THE COMEDY, THE COMEDY!! Richard Ng and Eric Tsang return with the rest of the lucky stars to give the audience more of their comedic antics. Also, look out for more cameo appearances throughout the movie. Overall, a great comedy actioner from Hong Kong!!My Final Judgement: 10/10
'Xia ri fu xing' is a very good ending to Lucky Stars trilogy (Winner & Sinners, My lucky stars, twinkle twinkle lucky stars). Jackie is not the main character. He only appears in fight scenes. But it doesnt matter. Samo and his friends are really entertaining if you like crazy hk humor. There are only three or four fight scenes in this movie but they are magnificent! It is a pleasure to watch Jackie and Yuen Biao beating up bad guy's. Young Andy Lau is Jackies assistant. Fight's are well cordinated and fast! Awesome!Samo and his buddies are funny! Samo beats women assassins, Richard Ng tries voodoo on some girls and one of the female character's plays blind to not get shot as a murder witness! Really Funny! I recommend.
