Description
Hong Kong Police Supt. Walter Tso arrests Big Dai, the reformed leader of a criminal corporation. When Dai asked his brother Richard Mao to turn himself in to the police, he betrays him and decides to take over the corporation. Dai is imprisoned and an informant is murdered by one of Mao's men. With no evidence against Mao and the corporation, Tso coerced four of the "Five Lucky Stars" to go undercover in the prison, rescue Dai, and help nab Mao and bring down the corporation
Starring
Key opinion
This fourth installment in the franchise is widely viewed as a departure from the earlier action-heavy entries, opting for a pure comedy focus that suffers from the absence of key stars like Sammo Hung. While some fans find the humor refreshing and the prison sequence memorable, others view the film as an exhausted effort lacking the spark and cohesion of its predecessors.
| Screenplay | The prison-escape sequence stands out as the film's singular highlight and most effective comedic moment. | |
| Acting | The absence of iconic performers like Sammo Hung leaves the ensemble feeling lackluster and disjointed compared to previous entries. | |
| Originality | The franchise shifts heavily away from its action roots to prioritize crude or slapstick-heavy comedy. | |
| Humor | The humor is polarizing, ranging from laugh-out-loud moments for dedicated fans to perceived crudeness that alienates others. |
