My Lucky Stars is an inferior Jackie Chan action comedy with not much Jackie Chan in it. And not much action. After the opening sequence, where poor Yuen Biao is abducted by ninjas to be kept imprisoned throughout almost the entire movie (thus idiotically keeping one of the movie's major action assets out of action), a full half hour ensues with nothing but the most pathetic Asian humor, involving a bunch of idiots (incl. director Sammo Hung) harassing and degrading poor beautiful Sibelle Hu - a kind of chauvinist humor that Asian audiences apparently find smashingly funny.
Sadly, this "humor" continues even as the rest of the story picks up. I rate the movie a 4 out of 10, purely because of some decent action and fight sequences, as well as the brief presence of the cool Lam Ching-Ying. And also, I will reluctantly admit, because Sibelle Hu is so fabulously beautiful that the idiots' infatuation with her *almost* makes sense. Those scenes are however still toe-cringing to watch.
