Using "Winners and Sinners" (1983) as a dress rehearsal Sammo Hung's "My Lucky Stars" premiered two years later under the Golden Harvest banner to compete against the runaway success of Cinema City's madcap spy comedy "Aces Go Places" (1982) and its largely successful sequels.

As one might already assume Sammo (who wrote, directs, and stars) replaces the campy gadgetry of the "Aces Go Places" series with highly competitive martial arts choreography (former Japanese body builder Michiko Nishiwaki makes her debut here; Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao show up in extended cameos).

Following suit with the competition "My Lucky Stars" contains much of the same obnoxious humor that ruled the domestic market in the early '80s though the collective styling of Sammo Hung, Stanley Fung, Richard Ng, Charlie Chin, Eric Tsang and gluten for punishment Sibelle Hui hit more often than "Aces" Samuel Hui, Karl Maka, and gluten for punishment Sylvia Chang.
