    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film's Chinese title, "Five Lucky Stars", was chosen as it was evocative of the Seven Little Fortunes (The Lucky Seven). The Seven Little Fortunes was the name of the performance troupe that included Hung, Chan, and Yuen, while they attended the Peking Opera School, The China Drama Academy, as children.
    • Goofs
      When Cherie Chung's character kicks the henchman in the groin, sending him flying into the drum kit, a wire pulling him back is visible.
    • Quotes

      Rookie: Of course you do it; the smart ones talk and the dumb ones act.

    • Alternate versions
      In the international print of the film, during the night market scene, the kung fu scene and the blind musicians singing Rod Stewart's "Young Turks" was cut, mainly because international audiences did not understand or react well to it instead of any political messages relating to the latter.

    Surprising

    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!
