Short description

Five friends are released from prison and do their best to stay out trouble. While trying to mind their own business (and run their 5-Star Cleaning Service), they are caught up in a war between rival Triad gangs fighting for control of the counterfeit currency market.

What's left behind the scenes

The Chinese title of the film is "Five Lucky Stars." It was chosen due to its similarity to "Seven Lucky Stars." That was the name of a theater troupe in which some of the actors featured in the film performed as children.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Chakovsky.
Jackie Chan's character has noticeably different hairstyles in different scenes. This happened because Chan was simultaneously filming the action movie "Project A" (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, 1983).
It is obvious that while Jackie is rollerblading on the highway, all the cars are traveling at a speed of no more than 15 km/h, as performing this stunt at higher speeds would be extremely difficult.
