Movie Reviews of The Legend of Drunken Master
Movie Review: Just watch it
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie has heart. Jackie Chan does his usual un usual stuff, and hits the target.
The story is touching and and action packed. A great buy for any one who likes Jackie Chan, and wants to see some of his earlier stuff. Which I think is better any way.
Movie Review: The ultimate "Wow" movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a non-stop adventure in "how did he do that" and "can he top this". While movies like Crouching Tiger and Heroe were as notable for their special effects as the stunts, Legend of Drunken Master shows that physical grace, athletic prowess, and, yes, guts can create an eye-popping experience for modern movie goers. This movie builds on one great set piece after another but when Chan's character really starts drinking....WATCH OUT! The last fight scene in the factory will have you rewinding and laughing in delight....it's that good. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Drunken Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a fan of Kung fu flicks, I am the geek that discusses who could beat who in a fantasy fight for god knows what reasons. This movie (along with the previous drunken master) made me realize how intense his action sequences are and it propelled me on an entire new level of respect for Jackie. He does what he does best, and then some, while he is more famous for his fights, Jackie and the supporting characters displayed so much talent and emotion that it kept me glued to the movie without blinking. The movie is a perfect blend of comedy and action, there is never a dull moment in LoDM...
It's also fun to watch it intoxicated!
Movie Review: best Jackie Chan movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing. I have seen this movie at least a dozen times and it is still amazing. There is so much action, so much choreography that is impossible to take in every second of it after watching this only once. The Legend of Drunken Master has the best Jackie Chan fighting I have ever seen, but also a good story with a nice plot, good characters and villains, and dubbing that actually isn't too badly done.
The story has a good focus on family, and what Wong Fei Hung (Jackie Chan) must do in order to honor his family and his country by stopping thieves from stealing and exporting Chinese artifacts that represent China's history. Sounds a bit boring but the story develops nicely in the film. After the first 5 minutes, you may not care because the beginning of the movie has an incredible fight scene promising just some of the action yet to come. Some of the action scenes mid-way through the movie are so good, they are better than a lot of final fight scenes in other similar movies. By the time the final fight scene in this movie is over, you may not even have realized that 15 straight minutes passed by. It really is that long of a scene and it is very, very entertaining. Chan does not do many stunts in this movie, but rather displays his true and raw martial arts skills, specifically the uniqe form of Drunken Boxing.
If you have never seen a Jackie Chan movie and want to start, watch another one of his films first. This one is so good it might just spoil the rest!
Movie Review: HIGH SPEED ACTION WITH LESS ROPE AND WIRE STUNTS
Summary: 5 Stars
jackie chan at 40 and lau kar leung at 60 rocks the boat with the under the train fight scene at such incredible speed and stunning grace then they took it to the peers it was dope man. jackie and lau kar leung directed and choreogrpahed the action and had their stunt teams combined to put together this incredible classic. drunken boxing is rather unorthodox like i said before but whats so amazing about it is that you can take any style (mantisfist, dragonfist, eaglefist etc.) and make a drunken version out of it. then you have the legendary ti lung you know him as often pairing with the great david chiang in his old school films he didnt have much of a fighting part in it but was quite entertaining and showed his great acting skills once again in this epic back 1994. anita mui (r.i.p.) is very comical and enteraining as well she is very funny in my opinion but dvd itself is somehow missing something and i cant quite figure it out. but get this movie you wont be dissapointed.
