Synopsis
My Lucky Stars (福星高照, 1985) is a Hong Kong action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by and starring Sammo Hung alongside Jackie Chan — the centrepiece of the Lucky Stars trilogy and one of the highest-grossing local releases of that year.
Hong Kong cop Muscles heads to Tokyo tracking a fugitive, and his partner Ricky gets snatched by a ninja gang before the case gets anywhere. Backup arrives from an unlikely direction: a crew of childhood orphanage friends with no police training, strong criminal instincts, and a gift for ending up in the wrong place. They bumble, bicker, and somehow keep showing up when it counts.
The film's two halves barely look related — the first plays as broad slapstick, then the fights arrive and the tone shifts entirely. Sammo Hung's choreography in the final act is the reason Hong Kong cinema from this era still has an audience. Stream My Lucky Stars (1985) online on iFILM.
