WINNERS AND SINNERS (1983)
Chinese title: Wu fi xing
Five carefree con-artists decide to go into business for themselves
after they are released from jail. Before you know it, they find
themselves trapped in the crossfire of two feuding triad gangs. Easily
one of the funniest and most entertaining of Chan's slapstick comedies,
Winners and Sinners also contains some of Jackie's most amazing
stunts including a justly famous roller-skate sequence. Director Sammo
Hung also appears as Chan's number one sidekick.
An enormously popular film which spawned numerous sequels, Winners
and Sinners won the prestigious Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action
Choreography at the 1984 ceremony and also received a nomination for
Richard Ng as Best Actor. The film is a favorite among Asian film
fans.
Rating: TV-14-V.
