Stars: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung

Director: Sammo Hung

Summary: A man becomes involved in deadly combat in a story about five guys who leave prison to form a cleaning company to earn an honest living. Unfortunately, one of the buildings they are hired to clean belongs to a ruthless gang of counterfeiters. They get mixed up in a war over printing plates.

Teapot, Curly, Windpipe, Vaseline, and Ranks are a band of bumbling thieves who try to clean up their act by starting a janitorial service. They run foul of a pair of gangsters when they find a briefcase containing counterfeit money. Directed by Sammo Hung, the film lays down the precedents for the other films: the five Lucky Stars are teamed with one beautiful female (in this case, Cherie Chung) whom they each try to grope and woo; the film then climaxes in a slapstick showdown with cartoonish villains. WINNERS AND SINNERS marks the second time in which Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao--the three "kung-fu-teers"--appear together. Though Chan is not the star, he has an exciting action sequence in which he roller-skates through traffic. Comedic high points include a spirited rendition of Rod Stewart's "Young Turks" and an invisibility gag later mimicked in MYSTERY MEN.
