* {{Acrofatic}}: Teapot, as played by classic Sammo Hung, can kick all kinds of ass in all three films, even out-doing his co-stars Muscles and Kidstuff.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Five Lucky Stars, clockwise: Rookie, Vaseline, Teapot, Pipe and Curly]]
The ''Lucky Stars'' is a series of Hong Kong action-comedy films that started with ''Winner and Sinners'' in 1983, written by and starring Creator/SammoHung, and starring Creator/JackieChan.
The first three films revolve around the misadventures of five prison buddies -- Teapot (Sammo Hung), Curly (Creator/JohnSham), Exhaust Pipe (Creator/RichardNg), Vaseline (Creator/CharlieChin), and Rookie (Creator/StanleyFung) -- and their associate Muscles (Creator/JackieChan).
Films in the series:
* ''Film/WinnersAndSinners'' (1983)
* ''Film/MyLuckyStars'' (1985)
* ''Film/TwinkleTwinkleLuckyStars'' (1985)
* ''Lucky Stars Go Places'' (1986)
* ''Return of the Lucky Stars'' (1989)
* ''Ghost Punting'' (1992)
* ''How To Meet the Lucky Stars'' (1996)
Later entries would focus more on slapstick elements rather than action.
Not to be confused with ''Anime/LuckyStar''.
----
!!Tropes across the film series:
* CovertPervert: Pipe in all three movies. Especially in the third where he volunteers to get himself beaten up by a female karate instructor so that he can get touched by a woman.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Jackie Chan's character, CID-07/ Muscles only shows up in the first trilogy, and is [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome absent without an explanation]] in the later movies.
* DestinationDefenestration: Happens in all three movies.
** The diner brawl in the first film notably has Muscles sending a guy flying out of a window with a kick.
** The sequels have Muscles and Kidstuff sending opponents through tables, shelves and countertops in this same manner.
* EnsembleCast: The five "stars" are given roughly equal focus and screentime.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Lucky Stars do have names but they're mostly referred by their nicknames based on their AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance. Curly has curly hair, Teapot is called as such because of his size resembling a teapot (large body, small arms), Pipe is a smoker, Vaseline is a CasanovaWannabe who frequently flirts with girls, and Rookie is the TheBabyOfTheBunch.
%%* PornStache: One on Pipe which shows up in all three movies. And subsequent spin-offs.
