Jackie Chan returns in one of his greatest roles in this action-comedy sequel to his 1978 Hong Kong blockbuster Drunken Master. Wong Fei Hong (Chan) is a young master of the martial art of "drunken boxing," in which fighters use alcohol to blind themselves to pain and release the angry brawler within; with the right amount of drinks under his belt, Hong can become a furious one-man army. Hong accompanies his father (Ti Lung) on a voyage to China, where they purchase a precious supply of ginseng.

A fleet, enjoyable Jackie Chan romp.
Chan has always seemed like a silent-screen virtuoso self-catapulted into modern times.
The extended fight scenes [have been] justly hailed by aficionados as classics of the genre.
A spectacularly silly comic epic in which almost every known camera trick, stunt and fight choreography known to the genre is squished into one story.
If you have a taste for Hong Kong action (and I do) then The Legend of Drunken Master has enough going on to make it a classic.
Massively entertaining.
One of Jackie Chan's best, but not for everyone.
Just enough story to be interesting and with lots of personality to stand out.
A film with just enough story to be interesting and with lots of personality to stand out.
A fun movie, one which deserved an MPEG-4 transfer and original Cantonese Lossless soundtrack. Too bad we don't get either.
Anita Mui all but pulls a heist herself in every scene she's in, but make no mistake. This is Chan's movie, and he holds his own, whether it's using his comedic talents to feign drunkenness or strike a goofy face, or showing off those impressive martial a
While you might not always appreciate the historical aspects of the story, you will definitely find Chan's physical acumen amazing.
There is just one extra on the disc: an interview with the movie's star, Jackie Chan.
[Chan's] drunken boxing in this movie is the stuff of poetry.
If you have never seen a Jackie Chan movie, this one will show you what all the fuss is about.
Generally amusing and sometimes positively exhilarating.
Um dos melhores filmes da carreira de Chan e a comprovação definitiva de que ele é o resultado de uma combinação improvável (e maravilhosa) de Buster Keaton, Gene Kelly e Bruce Lee.
At long last, the American masses will get a glimpse of what Jackie Chan can really do.
I'm extremely unhappy when one of my HK favorites is re-released, re-titled and re-packaged as an English-dubbed Jackie Chan vehicle for American audiences to ostensibly enjoy.
Among the most breathtakingly wonderful acts of physical endurance and grace that I have ever seen.
If you're looking to have a really wild time, this is the film to see.
It wasn't so good....I fell asleep at the end so I don't know how it ends.....but something tells me it's a happy ending

the first time i saw this film i liked it, the second time ive fallen in love with it. this film is about so much more than the kung fu, which was great, but the stunts in this film are incredibly impressive. the things chan is able to pull off are mind blowing, and the fact that everything needed to be timed so
