Movie Reviews of Drunken Master
Movie Review: The movie that made jackie chan
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care what anyone tells you about Kung Fu, or Jackie Chan. I have seen every movie he has ever starred in, and this is by far the best movie he has ever done. People praise the sequel to this movie, "The Legend of Drunken Master" but to be fair... It fails in comparison to this master piece. It's filled with non stop action, amazing fight sequences, and really shows off the skill of Jackie Chan.
This movie was made in 1978, its long before Hollywood took a giant poop on kung fu movies, and made them all wires and special effects... There aren't any blue screens, or wires...
I can't emphasize the importance of this movie in any Kung Fu collection... It's a MUST buy... If anything, rent it... It blows away all the competition... If you like Kung Fu movies... This is a must...
Movie Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie is amazing. not many people know much about kung fu movies. morons see uma thurman with a sword and think that's a kung fu movie. know-nothings credit crouching tiger as innovative. what are these people talking about?
drunken master shows jackie chan in amazing form as sam seed's apprentice. his style is so incredible that his drunken beatdowns are no less than art, true ballet. the fight between him and the stick-king is breathtaking. and the dubbing is hysterical. sam seed hits jackie on the head with a chopstick. jackie holds his head in pain, replying "master why do this? even a monkey would die!" goofy translations like that make this piece unforgettable.
Movie Review: One of my favorite Kung-Fu Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for an old school 80's style Kung-Fu movie with great choreography, a variety of styles (crane, snake, tiger claw, etc), and the English dubbing with Chinese mouth movements (sometimes continuing after an English sentence is completed), then this is the movie for you. The only thing missing is the high flying acrobatics such as jumping on the roof of a house. In addition to the above, the movie includes the amazing stunts and use of remote items (chairs stunts, buckets, brooms, etc.) that are common among Jackie Chan films. Drunken Master is a great movie that shows Jackie Chan's skills as a marital artist and the breadth of styles he is familiar with. Bravo!Movie Review: This started it all for me
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was made in 1978 i was only one year of age but 25 years later I have found were Kung Fu really began.With fight chor. and directed by the great Yuen woo Ping and staring Jackie Chan it is flawless.This has more fights than any movie ive ever scene and they are all terriffic,its worth mentioning that i believe what makes the movie is Yuen woo Pings father whos name is Yeun Hsiao Tieng,he plays a drunken master and Jackies Mentor he's also his mentor in another movie i recommend Snake in the Eagles Shadow where he also plays Jackies mentor.The comedy is great and not stupid like alot of asian comedy/kung Fu films.An instant and long runnig classic!Movie Review: Jackie at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably my favorite Jackie Chan film of all time. Disregard the recycled story line and focus on his amazing athletic ability and the expertly choreagraphed fight sequences - this is what made Jackie great. The one trait I most admired about him was his very clever use of props during these scenes. He would take a seemingly ordinary object and use it to his advantage during a fight. But also in less violent moments as well...a lighthearted chopstick duel over a piece of chicken. Excellent. In this age of blue-screen and CG, I am so glad we have these early films when everything was done right then and there on the set. Film making at it's best.
