TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR (not to be confused with the LUCKY STARS film that came later) is an oddball Shaw Brothers flick that might just be the strangest they ever made. It's not very good, but it has its moments; overall it's more of a disjointed collection of random scenes and sequences, generally riffing on STAR WARS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND throughout. A couple of low-life heroes become involved with Cherie Cheung, being set up to marry the scion of a wealthy family. There are Dr Jekyll gags, a scene on the railway tracks, song and dance numbers, and a superhero wearing a Shaw vest (!). Exaggerated acting is the order of the day, but the surreal humour tends to test the patience rather than make you laugh, and things only really impress during the lengthy climax featuring the Darth Vader wannabe.
