Movie Reviews of The Legend of Drunken Master
Movie Review: Great movie but it isn't a sequel to anything.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not the sequel to Drunken Master. Dance of the Drunk Mantis is the true sequel, and is a far better movie than Ledgend will ever be. Movie Review: Freakin' Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I was blown away by The Legend of Drunken Master. I also own the first Drunken Master, which, while still impressive, has its shortcomings. This, however, is edited much better, and the quality of the fights is also improved. The climatic fight at the end is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen a human do. Wow. Buy this movie.Movie Review: Legend of the Drunken Master
Summary: 5 Stars
The legend of the drunken master originally came out in hong kong many years ago. Jackie Chan has obviously followed in the steps of bruce lee, appearing in films as an extra or goon as he did in "enter the dragon".
However, since jackie chang , like bruce lee wasn't known here in the u.s. it took a while for this martial arts star to be imported to the u.s.. but eventually chang has been
recognized as one of the best martial arts star in the world.
This movie "legend of the drunken" is a very funny, and explosive action packed film. the story revolves, arounds a conspiracy of corruption by members of the british government to smuggle and steal chinese artifacts out of the country. the members would later sell these goods for a large sum of money.
Chang plays wong fie hung , a doctor/psycisian who uses his style of fighting known as drunken boxing to fight. everyone loves wong, except his father, who sees him as a disgrace to the family, because of his blantantly drunkeness.
In fact, wong's father and wong scenes together are absolute hilarious. in fact, there are a couple of scenes, where both father and son, both fight with one another. Eventually, through coincedence wong finds out about the smuggling operation and he and he and his friends plan to put a stop to it.
The action is very intense and almost takes the form of a cartoon with wong drinking and gettting drunk then using the alchohol and mixing it with fire to often burn his enemies.
The last bits near the end feature a great match between wong and the boss of the operation.
The acting is equally as well, obviously it's an ode to the old fashioned ways of the east,
with the strict relations Wong has with his Dad and tradition.
Some of the stunts though are incredibly dangerous and make you wonder, just how they filmed it with no getting killed such as the sequences where Wong fights
a gang of men with axes.
There is a dvd for the movie too, however both the vhs and DVD have an English dubbed version of the film which can be both funny and mediocre at time with the usual American jokes thrown in to replace the Asian dialogue.
The Dvd comes loaded with extra features, including and interview with Jackie Chang, and several
trailers for many of Chang's movies.
I am actually going to watch it again, because it's the type of film where there is so much action and it goes by so fast it's hard to keep track of what's going on, but
check out "Legend of the Drunken Master"
Movie Review: drunken boxing is cool but scarce here
Summary: 4 Stars
drunken boxing refers to a kung fu style in which the user moves as if he were drunk making it difficult for his opponent to guess how he will strike.theres really not very much of it in the movie.jackie chan doesnt fight that well at first but when he gets drunk he starts kicking ass!so,its a play on words.his father beats him for doing it after he forbid him to.then he goes and fights the bad guys to make things right and doesnt use drunken boxing again.kids like jackie.its better than a lot of the more recent chan movies.shanghai noon is better i think.his dad is an ass in this movie.his mother is a liar and very funky.i think there may be an older version or 2 also.Movie Review: Jackie's Best Ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Chan's best movie ever, period. Greatest fight scenes of all time, every single one. From the beginning fight under the train, to the final fight in the steel factory, this movie is non-stop action. You have not seen Jackie's finest until you see this movie. You think Police Story is his best ever? Or maybe Project A? Think again, Drunken Master II is his best ever.
