Muscles (Chan) and Ricky (Biao) are two Hong Kong policemen sent to Japan to serve an extradition order on a dangerous criminal (Lam Ching Ying).  When the bust goes wrong and the criminal escapes with Ricky as a hostage, Muscles is left with no way to get close to the gang without being recognised.  To get around this dilemma, he decides to enlist the help of his old orphanage buddies to help bring the criminals to justice.  The gang consist of fatherly figure Rawhide (Fong), womanising Herb (Chin), insane Sandy (Ng), portly Kid's Stuff (Hung) and retarded Roundhead (Tsang).  After a little crafty blackmailing the gang all agree to help but will their amateur skills be good enough for a little detective work or will their childish jokes blow their cover wide open.

Although the sleeve and cast listing may lead you to believe this is a Jackie Chan film, it is in fact the second team-up for the group that became known as the 'Lucky Stars'.  Following on from 'Winners And Sinners', 'My Lucky Stars' continues the amusing antics of Hong Kong's favourite band of hapless heroes and takes the concept one step further by adding trademark comedy routines and a higher degree of action into the mix.  Therefore, where the first part delivered first rate comedy (and is considered by most to be the funniest of the series), this second film gives the three brothers more room to flex their muscles and show off their knack for stunning stunts and fight choreography.

'My Lucky Stars' is perhaps not would what you expect from a film starring the infamous three brothers (Jackie, Sammo & Biao) but it does still mark an important era in the development of Hong Kong comedy.  Not only did it create a name for the 'Lucky Stars' team but it also gave them a chance to show that they have the talent to make their mark alongside some of the biggest Asian superstars.  Lets not forget though that there is also some top notch action on display here that probably helps to make this the best all-rounder of the series that should appeal to fans of all genres.
