One of a kind movie. Teenage cruisin and racing in California in the early 60s was a thing and this is the only movie I know about that shows it. I liked it a lot. I'd even say it's George Lucas second best (directed) movie. By the way, license plate of the yellow Deuce Coupe was THX 138. Nice.
You can't handle the truth.
While there's no lack of comedic talent in Winners & Sinners, and believe you me...it's funny, the story structure suffers some because of it. The first half is mostly just a series of individual sketches, but since they are so funny, I really don't care all that much. The kung-fu is top-notch, but that's nothing new when Sammo is involved.
Winners & Sinners is great entertainment, and I watch it just as much for the jokes as I do the action, BUT...there's one action scene that is iconic and is a must-watch for anyone fond of action. Those that have seen this knows what I am talking about, and for those of you that don't... I'll give you a couple of hints...
Rollerskates and motorway.
Now use your imagination, then go watch Winners & Sinners.
Ah, good old 80s action cinema - tough guys, big guns, cool quotes, explosions and a wee bit of a story. But that´s OK. That was the recipe for success back then.
