Winners and Sinners (1983)

This may not be a full-fledged Jackie Chan movie, but it has all the same ingredients!

PROS:
+ A fun and silly tone that consists of slapstick comedy and impressive kung-fu fights
+ Great cast of interesting, memorable main characters that have equally good chemistry
+ A couple of memorable scenes feature some awesome stunts

CONS:
- Disjointed and messy plot that seems random many times
- Most of the movie is just a comedy film, rather than a marital arts film
- There are only a few scenes that feature Jackie Chan
- Some of the humor carries on for too long (Example: setting up pranks takes several minutes for a single laugh)

This was surprising, because I was going in anticipating another funny and cool kung-fu film starring Jackie Chan. This is none of that. However, it is still a great time!

I laughed a lot and got even more excited when I saw the (seldom) more action-packed parts that I initially anticipated to be the majority of the film.

Side note: There is literally a car chase scene where Jackie Chan pursues thieves while on roller skates. If that doesn't sound amazing, this movie is NOT for you.
