Synopsis

Two Hong Kong police officers are sent to Tokyo to capture a former cop who has stolen a large sum of money in the form of diamonds. After one of the officers is captured by a ninja gang protecting the rogue officer, the other recruits his former orphanage gang, known as the "Five Lucky Stars," for assistance. Though the gang members are reluctant, they agree to help.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
