Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I am a big JC fan and this is one of my favorites. The chemestry between Chan, Hung, et. al., is great! If you've seen "Jackie Chan: My Story", you'll know why these guys work so well together.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great old Jackie Chan Flick
Review: I am a new Jackie Chan fan, and I still enjoyed this film. Sammo Hung, and his gang of ex-cons/house cleaners are very funny. The background music also reminds me of a Chinese street performance. There are a few good stunts, and good fight scenes in the film, but don't expect great action. It was made in the 1980's, and it is obviously old. This film is much more humor, and less action. Jackie Chan only has a small role as a cop, but his scenes are good.

Summary: Not much Chan in this one!
Review: I didn't care that much for this film--I checked it out to seea Jackie Chan movie, but he's not really in this one that much,although the two longer scenes he is in are good ones, and generally the fight scenes are pretty entertaining. However, the humor in this one seemed moronic to me, and there was SOOOO much of it! But if you really like Sammo Hung and his sense of humor, you'll love it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It was not that great
Review: I do not see what is so great about the movie. The best part of the film was the roller skating sequence. There was barely any fight scenes, I like Sammo Hung, but he did not fight that much eaither.I would put this film in my top 30. But still it is worth waching. I also did not find the film funny at all.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hilarious comedy action flick with Jackie!
Review: Jackie Chan plays a cop, but is not the main star of this movie. The main stars are a bunch of Hong Kong comedian/actors who play a group of ex-cons that start a cleaning business together, until the HK triad leaves a briefcase full of counterfeit money and printing plates in their cleaning van during a getaway. That's when the fun starts.

The main actor is played by Sammo Hung (yes, the fat guy who can fight), who grew up with Jackie Chan studying kung-fu. He stars with Jackie in some of his classics such as Dragons Forever and Project A.

This is one of the funniest HK movies I have ever seen. And although Jackie plays a secondary role, some of the stunts that he pulls are amazing, the best being him rollerskating from one car to another and beneath a moving truck on a crowded highway, which is followed by a 50-car smash-up.

A nice addition to any Jackie Chan/HK movie collection. I would give this 4 stars, but I already gave Who Am I? 4 stars, which is obviously much better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Winners And Sinners (1983)
Review: JACKIE IS NOT THE STAR! This film is silly but nice silly, you know? It is about a group of ex-cons who try to go clean after being released from prison.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fun movie
Review: Not so much a Jackie Chan movie, but still a fun movie that anybody will enjoy. Some good fights and great stunts by Chan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lightearted and Funny
Review: Oh, I expected to see a little bit more of Jackie Chan in this movie. He is maybe in about one qurter of the movie. I did very much enjoy his acrobatics, besides the martial arts segments. I was happy to see that Yuen Biao had a brief appearance. And yes, I know it is mainly Sammo Hung's movie and the crew was charming. The movie had some martial arts segments, but it's more of a con-comedy. And a scene where about 50 old cars got smashed seemed oh, way too many.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Underrated film!!!
Review: Ok, so Jackie Chan had a background role in this film and most of the humour was immature. However, I really liked it, especially the invisible scene. Unfortunately, the subtitled version is now out of print.
