Reviews for The Legend of Drunken Master

Top CriticThe extended fight scenes [have been] justly hailed by aficionados as classics of the genre.

Top CriticA spectacularly silly comic epic in which almost every known camera trick, stunt and fight choreography known to the genre is squished into one story.

Top CriticThere's no Jackie Chan movie more pleasurable than Drunken Master II, which Miramax's Dimension Films has dubbed into English and rereleased as The Legend of Drunken Master.
