88 Films grants Jackie Chan a pockeful of MIRACLES (review)

Jackie Chan unofficially remakes A POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES and LADY FOR A DAY as a gangster who attributes his good luck to the roses he buys daily from a street vendor.  When he learns that the woman has let her daughter away at school believe she is a wealthy woman, he and his girlfriend (Anita Mui) go to elaborate extremes to keep her daughter, her fiance, and his father from discovering the truth while also fighting a gang war.  Lo Lieh and Wu Ma also star along with tons of celebrity cameos in this action/drama/comedy.
