AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Leofwine_draca Jackie Chan as a hard-assed American cop, a naked Chinese guy who thinks he's invisible, Lam Ching Ying as the strictest butler in the world and a multi-car pile-up to rival Grand Theft Auto are the ingredients of this comedy yarn from Hong Kong, shot in the streets with that raw low-budget look. In fact the title is misleading when packaged as a Jackie Chan film, as the superstar only appears in a minor supporting role with about twenty minutes of screen time. The rest of the movie really belongs to Sammo Hung (once again flexing his directing muscles) and the rest of the five-strong team of leads, all of whom are given equal screen time as criminals-turned-cleaners who find themselves up against some serious muscle when they decide to rob a guy working for a local crime boss.At first, I thought this film wasn't up to much, and was a little disappointed by the first hour which stresses comedy over martial arts action. In fact, there's only one major fight scene, in a fast-food restaurant, that I can think of. Instead the film slows down and takes time out to introduce the leading characters and put them through many comedic situations, most leaning towards the slapstick end of the genre and appealing to the low-brow crowd. At around the hour mark, suddenly the film kicks into gear with a major chase (on roller-skates, no less!) and then doesn't let up until the exciting finale, expertly mixing laughs with thrills into another winning combination that left me smiling at the end of it all.As for Jackie Chan, his main contribution is participating in the roller-skating chase, where he performs some of his usual dangerous stunts (jumping over cars and sliding literally between the wheels of a speeding truck) to the awe of the watching viewer. The major thing that sticks in my mind about the film is this chase scene which is top-notch stuff, climaxing in a slow-mo car pile-up packed with fantastic stunts of cars flipping and flying through the air, all captured lovingly on camera.Central performances from the leads are good, and mostly played for laughs (understandable when the character names are 'Teapot', 'Exhaust Pipe', and 'Vaseline'); in fact all of the five actors as an ensemble are excellent and have some great comedic interplay which keeps the film going through the slower moments. Sammo Hung is underused, but gets some great martial arts action at the finale, set in a warehouse, where he takes on dozens of villains (including veteran James Tien) and the like. Although the film is frequently silly, it's also innocent and the comedy is likable, with fast-paced humour and jokes that don't outstay their welcome, although the long-running "invisible" situation is a goodie. Fun, unserious, forgettable but entertaining laughs and thrills from our Chinese friends.

greenie4242 I first saw this movie years ago on TV when I was pretty young and the entire family was in stitches from laughing so hard. It's full of pointless almost slapstick humour, but all done in such an entertaining way that it fits in beautifully with the plot. It has one of the best highway pile-up scenes I've ever seen in a movie, not completely overdone like most movies these days but done in a believable and funny way. Highly recommend this movie to just about anybody. I found the DVD at a rental store years later and took it to a friends's place for a party and everybody loved it. I'm watching it as I write this review, and my stomach is hurting from laughing so hard.

antonov-1 I have seen this Film about 30 times and I always laugh when I see it every time! Everytime I watch that movie, I find always something that I've never realised that it is there. Mostly there are some small details but I find it very interesting. I am a fanatic fan of Jackie Chan and so I saw the movie for the first time because I thought that Jackie Chan will play a great role in this movie. The first time I thought that this movie was the worst of all, because J.Chan had a small role, but after the second time I realised that this Film was exactly what a movie can give you to laugh!I like this movie because there are many characters as Samo Hung and so you can't get bored, because there are many scenes of action and of humor. Everybody who loves Action and Humor must see it.

crisbene This is certainly the funniest movie I've ever seen. This kind of silly comedy is really different from "Dumb & Dumber", The ZAZ's, the Peter Sellers'. This is simply unique and Sammo Hung and his lucky stars are the only ones on Earth who can achieve this. The ones who claim a good movie absolutely needs a good story should see "Winners and Sinners". What a pleasure to see these silly lucky stars doing ultra-dumb things. Richard Ng and his team are much funnier than any Chris Rock, Laurel & Hardy or Adam Sandler. It's rather impossible to describe exactly what they are capable of : each time I see this movie I'm about to die. The lucky stars have made some other similar movies but this one is surely the most incredible. It's just a masterpiece.
