Director/Star Sammo Hung's HK action-comedy 'My Lucky Stars' (the first sequel to 'Winners & Sinners') is a real mixed bag. The humour in these type of films are usually silly, and at times crude. Here it doesn't buck the trend. The mid-section is filled with it when the orphans led by Sammo get together, and start harassing Sibelle Hu. Felt unrelated to everything else going on. Sometimes it slightly amused, while other times it was unfunnily cringe. Especially when a few of the comedy routines just go on for too long. And during most this Jackie Chan is M. I. A. However the film's bookends are great. This is when the fight choreography, and stunt work comes to the party blending much better with the humour. Sammo and Chan don't disappoint. While Lam Ching-Ying shows up briefly. The best moments are during a car chase and mostly set in a theme park. Then add ninjas and a haunted house attraction to the mix. And you got yourself a ride.
