Winners & Sinners

Winners & Sinners (Chinese: 奇謀妙計五福星, also known as 5 Lucky Stars) is a 1983 Hong Kong action comedy film written and directed by Sammo Hung, who also starred in the film. The film co-stars Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, the latter serving as one of the film's action directors. It was the first in the Lucky Stars series of films, a highly successful series in Hong Kong. The film co-stars Chan in a significant role as an error-prone police officer. It also features a cameo appearance from Yuen as another police officer who gets into a fight with Chan's character. The film is followed by My Lucky Stars and Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars, insofar as the "Five Lucky Stars" concept and many of the same actors return in those latter films. However, the character names and indeed their roles differ: Stanley Fung's character is the nominal "leader" of the quintet in Winners & Sinners, whereas Hung's character takes the mantle in the latter films.
