This is a 1985 Hong Kong action comedy film directed and co-written by SAMMO HUNG. It is the third instalment in the Lucky Stars series, following WINNERS AND SINNERS (1983) and MY LUCKY STARS (1985). As with its prequels, the film features JACKIE CHAN in a supporting role. This third installment finds Muscles (JACKIE CHAN), Kidstuff (SAMMO HUNG), Fung (YUEN BIAO), and the gang taking a well-needed vacation in Thailand courtesy of the Hong Kong police department. Also on the trip is police inspector Woo (SIBELLE HU HUI-CHANG) on orders to track down a list of drug dealers from informant Ma (MELVIN WONG KAM-SUN). Unfortunately, Ma gets whacked by a Thai crime lord, but he tells Woo as he draws his last breath that he mailed the list to his friend in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Muscles and the gang are shaking down Lau (JAMES TIEN CHUN), a drug dealer who, it turns out, is being targeted by the same baddies that killed Ma. The film is notable for a fight scene featuring ANDY LAU, alongside JACKIE CHAN and YUEN BIAO. It also features MICHELLE YEOH's first on-screen fight scene, as a Judo instructor teaching the Lucky Stars. Also, watch for CHING-YING LAM as a renegade cop and BILLY LAU as a play director. FAT CHUNG and Martial Arts fighter RICHARD NORTON also make an appearance in this action-packed Z-Grade Golden Harvest production. But wait, there's more! After the film, there are over 10m of Hong Kong fantastic movie previews at the end of this VHS tape!!
