Hung’s camerawork and editing is sharp and exciting, while Chan’s glowing on-screen persona is bright and charismatic — even though he’s only bookended in the film.

"Twinkle Twinkle, Lucky Stars" is quite funny, includes more than impressive action pieces, and also functions as an encyclopedia of the actors who appeared on HK action productions at the time

It's 15% amazing action, 85% nauseating sex comedy.

Rated: 4/10

I was happy to finally cross an early Jackie Chan film off my list of shame, and this one features some amazing action bits, all directed by Sammo Hung. Well worth a rental.

Decidedly not a 'Jackie Chan film' but instead a Sammo Hung film with essentially a guest-starring role for Jackie. And in truth his fights aren't that great, certainly not of the jaw-dropping nature we are used to seeing, only an interestingly staged fight in a funhouse stands out as truly memorable. Third brother from the Peking Opera Yuen Biao has even less screen time. The action takes place mostly during the opening and closing 15 minutes, the rest of the movie has Sammo and his other cronies engaging in comedy set-pieces. Some are funny like Richard Ng believing he has the ability to control other people's thoughts, while others are more stupid than funny like a far-too-long parade of phony burglars so the guys can each get tied up to the lady detective. Yes, very infantile humor abounds so your tolerance will dictate how you find My Lucky Stars. It's one of the few Jackie movies I had yet to see, and its placement in the order of necessity is exactly where I would have scheduled it.

Alright Chan/Hung picture with lots of other talent. They've had better, but honestly this was when they were in their prime and could do no wrong!
