Born into poverty in Mexico in 1932, Javier Solas supported his family from a young age though boxing and as a singing butcher. At 16, he began singing full time, which led to a successful recording career in 1950. Beginning in 1957, he starred in 20 films, singing in his own inimitable style. He died in 1966 at the age of 33. This Spanish-language documentary probes his rise to fame and a film career that shone a light on the plight of the less fortunate.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Teapot, Curly, Windpipe, Vaseline, and Ranks are a band of bumbling thieves who try to clean up their act by starting a janitorial service. They run afoul of a pair of gangsters when they find a briefcase containing counterfeit money. Made in response to the popular ACES GO PLACES series, WINNERS AND SINNERS is the opening salvo in a series of seven LUCKY STARS films, though the film is only loosely related to the other six. Directed by Sammo Hung, the film lays down the precedents for the other films: the five Lucky Stars are teamed with one beautiful female (in this case, Cherie Chung) whom they each try to grope and woo; the film then climaxes in a slapstick showdown with cartoonish villains. WINNERS AND SINNERS marks the second time in which Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao--the three kung-fu-teers--appear together. Though Chan is not the star, he has an exciting action sequence in which he roller-skates through traffic. Comedic high points include a spirited rendition of Rod Stewart's Young Turks and an invisibility gag later mimicked in MYSTERY MEN.DVD Features:Region 0 (All Regions)Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - Chinese/ Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1 - Chinese/ Mandarin Subtitles - English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian - OptionalAdditional Release Material: TrailersInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/ Photo Galleries: Filmographies - Cast& Crew
