YesAsia Editorial Description

Unusual doesn't even begin to describe Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, a Shaw Brothers science-fiction comedy that makes even the strangest Hong Kong comedies look like stuffy deadpan dramas. Uber-adorable Cherie Chung stars as Li Tien Chen, a silly gold-digging girl who's rumored to be the unluckiest person on Planet Earth. Backing up that rumor are plain facts: she causes a ten-car auto accident, loses out on an engagement to a mega-rich guy, and she gets abducted and impregnated by aliens - and that's just in the first half-hour! She also has to suffer through messed-up suicide pacts, a meteoric rise-and-fall flirtation with superstardom, a spanking with a chicken leg, and a pair of incredibly unattractive private detectives following her around. There's also a Darth Vader clone, a wacky mixed-up lightsaber battle, musical numbers, food fights, werewolves, and probably the kitchen sink, if you look hard enough! Director Alex Cheung and his six screenwriters leave no stone unturned in their quest to find the strangest, most bizarre sources for comedy weirdness this side of Ed Wood. When you see Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, you'll have to agree: they succeeded.

Product Information

主演:鍾楚紅╱伊雷╱盧大偉

  新浪潮導演章國明拍港產科幻笑片,組合以文雋及鄭丹瑞為首的六人編劇團,有外星人、飛碟,還有星球大戰繼承過來的激光雙節棍,非常可笑。戇直的伊雷加性感的鍾楚紅主演,甚有瞄頭。
  This is an extremely rare example of science fiction, Hong Kong style, but, fittingly, it's unlike any sci-fi flick you've ever seen. Alien abductions, suicide pacts, superstardom, and the reality of science fiction itself is spotlighted in this brght, crazy, truly out of this world epic -- one of the more unusual movies in the Hong Kong cinema of the early 1980s. And if you know 80's Hong Kong cinema at all, you know that's really saying something!

highly recommended Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This was very entertaining, witty and pleasantly weird little film. There was a really wide variety of humor on display, ranging from pie fights to quite sharp satire & Shaw Brothers inside jokes, but I think it cohered nicely and there was some kind of logic (not necessarily from this world) to it. I loved those Cherie Chung musical numbers. And any movie that has lightsaber vs. lightNUNCHAKUS duel in the end can´t be ALL bad! Really one of a kind & highly recommended by me.

If your a Star Wars Fan... Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
Silly film and it's all over the place. Yet, if you are a Star Wars/Sci-Fi fan and want to see a hilarious spoofings of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and a Stars Wars lightsaber kung fu battle where a Darth Vader-like character with a light saber vs. the lead character swinging a light saber nunchuku (George Lucas hasn't thought that up) - THEN IT's A MUST SEE! :-) Very funny.

And speaking on the Star Wars tip- wouldn't it be great to have a Star Wars themed movie with a secret force of Asian-like Jedi masters? I can see it now, the Light Saber weapons would be too funky! Picture Asian martial artists weilding them with good gong fu choregraphed action! Ti Lung (even at his age) with the basic lightsaber! Liu Chia Hui as the Monk Jedi! Imagine Jet Li Lian Gei with a 3 sectional light saber! Donnie Yen Chi Tan with a Light Saber Spear. Michelle Yeoh with Light Saber Butterfly Swords and the most ultimate weapon - A Light Saber Flying Guillotine! MONSTER!

One can dream, can't he!

Props to Shaw Brothers for releasing their films finally!

One,
bren
