MY LUCKY STARS (1985)

MORGAN'S RATING

My Lucky Stars is packed with all the adrenaline-pumping action and honest humour that one has come to expect for any movie starring the Big Brothers of Hong Kong action: Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Bullets and fists fly when Muscles and Ricky end up in Japan on the trail of a Japanese master criminal, Mashimoto. When Ricky is kidnapped by the gangsters, Muscles calls home for help and the police send their pal Kidstuff together with tough whip Inspector Woo and a group of childhood friends to help beat the criminals at their own game. Will the unlikely partnership of cops and robbers bring Ricky his freedom and the criminals to justice.
