	Drunken Master - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drunken Master (醉拳, zuì quán--literally drunken fist) is a movie directed by Yuen Wo Ping, starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu Tien (aka Simon Yuen), and Hwang Jang-Lee, first released in 1978.
		Drunken Master II (1994) did star Jackie Chan, and is therefore considered as the true sequel.
		Drunken Master was a sort of semi-sequel to Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which had been made the previous year and featured the same cast and director.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Drunken Master \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Drunken Master," initially released in 1978, was also the movie that put Chan over the top as Asia's new master of movie mayhem, not just filling the gap left by Bruce Lee's death but also invigorating, if not reinventing the genre.
		Surprisingly, "Drunken Master" is, on the surface, little more than a reworking of a Chan film from the previous year, the 1977 "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" (which played at the Tower Theater last week).
		In "Drunken Master," Chan is the young, irreverent son of a martial-arts schoolmaster, who is taunted by one of the teachers (Huang again) and eventually is taken under the wing of an older master (Simon Yuen) who helps him discover his talent for comic kickboxing.

	THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER
		Master is often referred to as the Citizen Kane of its genre, and its intoxicating fight sequences are second to none — including The Matrix and the upcoming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
		Master was released in Asia in 1994, and it has, unfortunately, been dubbed into English for its American release.
		Master is the fourth release this month to have the main character(s) sing a song at some point during the narrative (following Ladies Man, Remember the Titans and Dancer in the Dark).

	Drunken Master II (1994)
		In Drunken Master II, Wong Fei Hung hides his father's Ginseng medicine in the luggage of a wealthy man to avoid paying duties on it, but he is unable to recover it later, which causes numerous problems between him and his father.
		Drunken Boxing is a martial art form that requires its users to give the appearance of being extremely drunk, and in many cases they really are drunk.
		Masters of the art are able to give the appearance of being unable to fight because of how loose and weak they appear, but opponents quickly learn that appearances can be deceiving.

	Drunken Master
		Drunken Master was intended as a loving spoof of the Wong Fei-Hong legend, predicated upon the idea (and apparently the idea was Chan’s own) that Wong, like most people, would have gone through a period of rebelliousness, shiftlessness, and irresponsibility when he was a youth.
		Drunken Master’s very first scene consists of a fast-paced fight between some guy whose name is utterly unimportant and a universally feared professional assassin named Thunder Foot (Jang Lee Yeung, from The Invincible Armor and Story of the Dragon).
		Freddie is forced to improvise his own version of the Drunken Goddess Flaunting Her Body, and the movie ends abruptly (after a full eighteen fucking minutes of continuous kung fu!) with Thunder Foot’s defeat, leaving the conflict underlying the whole confrontation completely unresolved.

	Drunken Master II
		DRUNKEN MASTER II is considered by many to be Jackie Chan's best film.
		The movie is also known as "The Legend of Drunken Master" and has been released dubbed in English and cut for the American audience by Buena Vista.

	Drunken Master II (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A near flawless effort and arguably the greatest kung fu film ever shot, Drunken Master II was assembled from the collective talents of some of the genre's greatest personalities.
		Drunken Master II returned Chan to one of roles that helped make his career in Drunken Master (1978).
		With plenty of humor, dynamic acting, and perhaps Chan's finest martial arts display, Drunken Master II is without the doubt, this viewer's choice as the single greatest martial arts film of all time.

	Drunken Master (1978)
		Drunken Master is a film that not only gave a comedic twist to the Wong Fei-Hong legend, but allowed Jackie Chan the chance to hone his kung fu/comedy shtick.
		Drunken Master is yet another story about kung fu hero Wong Fei-Hong (Jackie Chan), but instead of depicting the legendary sifu as a mature, stately, and stoic figure (as Jet Li would later do in the Once Upon a Time in China series), Jackie Chan takes an altogether different route.
		No, as evidenced by the nickname "Naughty Panther," Drunken Master's Wong Fei-Hong is a fun-loving teenage jokester who consistently ends up in trouble, much to the dismay of his respected father Wong Kei-Ying.

	cityonfire.com \| Drunken Master II
		The plot is the bastard offspring of a menage a trois between Drunken Master, Young Master, and Dragon Lord.
		As I understand it, many (sick) people feel that "Drunken Master 2" deserves an honorable place in the pages of cinematic history, but after watching the aforementioned display of gratuitous fisticuffs and substance abuse, I decided that the only place it had in my childrens' lives was in the garbage can.
		Drunken Master II is not only the best feature of Jackie Chan himself, it is strong all through the cast, and through the story and imagery.

	[KFCC] Drunken Master Review
		Ok, that may be obvious point to make, but DRUNKEN MASTER is a somewhat obscure, yet brilliant portrayal of his ability to combine the two.
		What’s great about Drunken Master is its dedication to combining great fights with pure physical comedy- ignoring everything else (including common sense at times).
		It should be stressed that DRUNKEN MASTER is about as B-rate as it gets in films: character development is limited, the acting is mediocre and there are several filming mistakes.

		Chan made this film in 1994 as an homage to "Drunken Master," the 1979 film that turned him into a star, and the final twenty-minute fight scene inside a steel mill is considered one of the genre's high-water marks.
		Drunken Master 2 is one of the greatest martial arts films ever, especially given that most of its amazing highlights were done without any special effects, only the determination and skill of Jackie Chan and crew.
		Drunken Master 2's greatest smarts is to stick closely to the source of all martial-arts movies: Chinese folklore and literature.

	Zui Quan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		'Drunken Boxing' techniques are based on the legend of the 'The Eight Drunken Immortals' of the Taoist Sect from Chinese Mythology.
		The style is portrayed in the 1978 Jackie Chan film Drunken Master, in which he plays Huang Fei-Hong, a juvenile delinquent sent by his father to learn Zui Quan from his uncle, a master in the art.
		This is followed up by the 1994 film Drunken Master II or The Legend of Drunken Master, in which Jackie Chan returns as Fei-Hong, now skilled in Zui Quan (after the first film).

		Without a doubt, Drunken Master is the greatest classic kung fu comedy of all time and also the most influential Hong Kong film of the latter half of the 1970s.
		As a whole, Drunken Master is a perfect example of the ideal kung fu movie for all seasons.
		There is also a slip cover, a very basic cast and crew list with four names, a basic synopsis, and a 'blink and you'll miss it' rundown (with Chinese text only) of the Eight Immortals of Drunken Master as seen in the film.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Legend of Drunken Master" review (2000)
		Widely considered Jackie Chan's best movie, "The Legend of Drunken Master" (released to the rest of the world in 1994 as "Drunken Master II") features what are arguably the fastest, most furious and elaborate -- and the most entertaining -- fight sequences ever filmed.
		That skirmish is, of course, recreated in "Drunken Master" as a kinetic, highly concentrated blur of acrobatics and lightning-fast limbs as two dozen toughs invade a quiet restaurant, forcing Jackie to whip them all silly with flying fists and feet, upside-down wooden tables and cheer-rousing picnic bench-fu.
		"The Legend of Drunken Master" is burdened somewhat by the routine weaknesses of most Jackie Chan movies: bad dubbing of dumb dialogue, subservient and stereotypically fussy female leads, etc. But forgiving all that, as any true Jackie Chan fan does, you simply cannot find a more exhilarating, eye-popping martial arts flick.

	Drunken Master vs. Drunken Master 2
		Drunken Master 2 (aka Legend of the Drunken Master) (1994)
		Drunken Master 2 is awesome, but I think the first film is even better.
		Drunken Master goes a little overboard on the woman style if you ask me, which makes it a hard film to show to others, where as Drunken Master 2 has the chance to make everyone love kung fu.

	THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER - DVD
		In all my research, I could find no mention of drunken boxing (getting tanked to liberate your fighting style; your manoeuvres become difficult to predict) as being a practice of Wong Fei Hung, who developed the "tiger crane" move and once, armed with only a wooden staff, took down thirty men.
		But Wong Fei Hung did use his skills to quite literally fight oppression, as Jackie Chan's incarnation does in The Legend of Drunken Master, and the tone is respectful--more so in its native language, natch.
		Nevertheless, owners of a Drunken Master 2 bootleg won't recall the film looking or sounding as good as it does in this 2.35:1, 16x9-enhanced presentation, whose dynamic 5.1 Dolby Digital mix (each showdown grows more aurally engrossing than the last) helps us overlook defects in the source print.

		They should have realized that DRUNKEN MASTER already HAS respect here, and in part because of the wonderful sense of fun found in the original English dub.

		This includes "Legend of Drunken Master," which was originally released as "Drunken Master Part II." I saw this more than five years ago at a yearly festival of Hong Kong movies in a dingy movie theater in Greenwich Village on a postage-stamp sized screen.
		In these scenes, which mostly consist of the father demanding that the son eschew the drunken boxing style since it can easily get out of hand and lead to outright alcoholism, Fei-Hung's stepmother (Anita Mui) jumps in on the son's behalf.
		In fact at one key fight between Chan and a band of assassins, his mother throws him bottles of booze one after another to put him in a fighting mood.
