...the same cast.
‘Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars (TTLS)’ is an action comedy, just like the two previous instalments. The mighty Sammo Hung directed the film as well as starring in it. The cast I remember seeing in ‘Winners and Sinners’ were Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Stanley Fung, John Sham and Richard Ng.

Now this is the film's main problem - Jackie ... ...few somewhat average action sequences. With the films one chance of redemption notably absent I am sad to say I got rid of it two days later ( the only one of his which I have). The best bit about the dvd was an interview in the extras with Richard Norton (actor/stuntman) who's had an interesting life having worked with a number of stars.
