大煞星与小妹头

开头乔宏的住所段，明显是模仿巴斯特·基顿的《稻草人》，这个片子真是影响了70、80年代很多港产片。

几个蠢贼的设计下了心思。

电梯“跳舞时打斗”后来很多港产片都有。

林黛玉与梁祝的桥段很有点无厘头。徐克后来拍《梁祝》似乎有偷师这段。

吴宇森真喜欢在教堂开战。那时候还没有放白鸽。

大量反复（重复）来达到喜剧效果，但多了就显得单调。

时装，动作，喜剧，“‘父女’情”（与奋斗、新艺城后来的“‘父子’情”一脉相承）。虽然喜剧显得不足像闹剧，而动作戏很多，有些设计还是有亮点的（如修车的十字架套筒当武器，旋转了自己的鞋子）。

乔宏属于冷面笑星，最经典的形象想电视剧《天龙八部》的南海鳄神和《女人四十》的老爷。原来老爷子父亲是GMD元老，由于熟悉英语，他曾于朝鲜战争时出任台军翻译。

露云娜的萝莉很鬼马精灵，可爱。露云娜父亲是菲律宾西班牙混血，母亲是中日混血，但脸孔还是很像东亚人的，毕竟母亲是东亚混血。想到如今国足在归化，像露云娜这种复杂的血缘能不能归化？对了，当年很多以“娜”为名的女演员，而且像狄娜、等都很出名。

这部大叔与萝莉的片子，是不是受到了好莱坞电影《纸月亮》的启发？

本片年度港片票房第三位，前面的是《卖身契》、《醉拳》，连李小龙的《死亡游戏》都只能排在它后面，“梗颈四”。

(Rowena Cortes小妹妹和乔宏大叔，一位15岁，另一位50岁，两个都鬼鬼的，那么可爱。看似滑稽的剧情，却共同演绎了让我笑着却想流泪的患难之情）

“谁能预计
日後的一切
何必时时乱发誓
凡尘俗世
从来多往例
明白到变幻相继

谁能预计
命运的交替
人生 难明真与伪
人浮在世
情同兄弟
明白到爱是真谛
爱 在心底
一生有欢慰
爱 在心底
能令到大家有维系 ”

(1978年吴宇森电影《大煞星与小妹头》中的插曲“谁能预计”，露云娜Rowena Cortes演唱,一首让人感动和点亮心灵的歌）

《FOLLOW THE STAR 》was a top-10 box office hit in 1978, ahead of 36 CHAMBERS OF SHAOLIN and STAR WARS, and just behind CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE THIRD KIND and GREASE. But this John Woo comedy simply isn't in that league of great films. It begins with a nice musical number of Rowana Cortes dancing through the theme song, but the fun ends there. The lame plot involves a group of thugs trying to steal the girl's dead father's hidden money. Lucky for her, the bad guys are a bunch of ninnies and she gets help from tough car mechanic Roy Chiao. Unlucky for us, we sit through many scenes of cartoony slapstick that ultimately get tiresome. With Rowana's musical talent, why not make a musical film? Cortes was a veteran pop singer, but this was her debut film. She would only make two more films, co-starring with Leslie Cheung in TEENAGE LOVERS and ENERGETIC 21, both in 1982. This VCD from Deltamac was released in 2002, and thankfully it's letterboxed in 2.35:1. Its running time is only 86 minutes. I've read it should be close to 96 minutes. So maybe scenes were cut. Anyone can confirm?
I am so happy to watch this movie again because she Rowena Cortes is so special to me. Many unhappy things happened in my life but she inspires me so much, especially in my younger days. I always remember what she say in her interviews and this is one sentence forever stay in my heart - she says - "What you are is God's gift to you, but what you make of yourself is your gift to God." Do any fans remember this beautiful thing she said? She is special not only because of her talent and beauty but also because she has very nice heart and that's why I will always love and support her FOREVER. I am a Forever Rowena Fan. I heard when this movie comes out it's Chinese New Year and I saw it 3 times during my school holidays! I was just a teenager and have a very big crush on my dream girl and ofcourse it's her - ROWENA CORTES. And I don't agree with what Justin says about her acting. I think she act fine and this was her first movie. I think she is natural talent for acting and she make a good partner for Chiao Wang (Roy). And she can fight quite well too as I can see that she is doing most of her own stunt fighting! And ofcourse our greatest John Woo is directing them, so it is excellent for those days. And the monkey in the movie is so cute too always drunk like Chiao Wang. Plus, the lovely Rowena is singing one of my favourite song of hers in the middle of the movie. I also like the villain with the big mouth. I think he looks so funny. This is a good movie to watch because ofcourse it's starring Rowena to bring back so many happy and presious memories for me and ofcourse John Woo is directing it. John Woo also have a part in the movie as Rowena's father. Very nice movie to watch really.
This movie was one of John Woo's earlier hit comedies that did very well in Asia. Lots of action and slapstick comedy. It was a starring vehicle for Pop Star, Rowena Cortes and helped launch her career in movies. Also stars Roy Chiao as her drunken guardian. Chiao provides much of the fighting scenes, while Cortes just plays herself as a popular Pop Star being chased by 'baddies' all over the colony. Cortes is no great actress because I think she pouts too much in this one. But one can't help but fall in love with that charm of hers that is so evident, even at that young age. John Woo is so great because he can make just about any scene look good with such flair. Check out the final scene at the Church. Great stunts. Great timing. Great casting. And Cortes and Chiao make a very cute and believable pair. John Woo is so GREAT. Highly entertaining.

作为后来的知名大导，早期作品也肯定不是糊弄之作。这部1978年的电影就从创意和制作上显示了出来。早期爱情电影好多都有乔宏，不知是不是与当时人审美有别，乔宏长得有点粗矿，老成，并不适合当偶像，不过这部电影里，扮大叔给人的感觉还不错，这才想起来，是不是《家有喜事》里演老爸的那个？

故事不难，创意不错，五个各怀绝技的坏人找到明星露云娜，想从她这里拿到五百万，修车师傅乔宏巧合下遇到露云娜被绑架，把他救了出来。乔宏也不是简单人物，影片一开始几分钟就展示了他靠床上一台改装的机器，从起床洗脸刷牙穿衣服全部自动化完成，匠心巧极。不过以现代技术看来，当时还蛮low的。随后就是五坏人以各种方式找到钱，均被乔宏化险为夷，最终打败。

说一两点印象深刻的

五贼挖坟找钱，炸掉了两个，炸出林黛玉和梁山伯祝英台鬼魂，怀恨诉苦、相亲相爱一番，又飘然而逝。

想象力很奇特。夸张怪异带来惊叹，无厘头似的感觉。
