Genres: Action, Comedy
Starring: Sammo Hung Kam-bo, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao

Tagline: Asia's top action-comedy team takes on the Tokyo underworld.
Overview: Two Hong Kong cops are sent to Tokyo to catch an ex-cop who stole a large amount of money in diamonds. After one is captured by the Ninja-gang protecting the rogue cop, the other one gets his old Orphanage gang, dubbed the "Five Lucky Stars," to help him. They don't like this much, but they do it.
