The Legend of Drunken Master (Jui kuen II) (Drunken Fist II) Reviews

This is the weakest of the many Chan chop-shticks to make it to this country.

Chan fans will probably want to pay to see this one on the big screen. Everyone else can bide their time for the video release.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Not one of Jackie Chan's better movies.

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4

Beyond all of the fighting and stunts, there isn't much else present to recommend the film.

Full Review

Continuity takes a drubbing and Jackie Chan does his own dubbing in this rerelease of Drunken Master II, a limp Chinese noodle-headed sequel to his 1978 breakthrough feature.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

There is too much fighting gymnastics and too little of the story development.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Suffers from some of worst problems of the martial arts genre: bad dubbing, bad soundtrack, chaotic plot, no character development ... but it has great fights and stunts.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

A bit of a chore to watch for the first half or so. Dubbed dialogue that is totally out of synch doesn't help.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Shortchanges character and plot in order to make time for fight scenes.

Full Review

A film with too little to offer.

Full Review

Jackie Chan movies are popcorn: light, devoid of nutritional value, something you can gobble for 90 minutes without filling up.

This imported and dubbed Jackie Chan fossil might be a kick for diehard fans, but most will be left feeling high and dry.

The final 20-minute fight sequence ... sets some kind of benchmark: It may not be possible to film a better fight scene.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

One of Jackie Chan's best, but not for everyone.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

While the plot does get in the way of what viewers are really after, there's enough of the fun stuff to keep them interested.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

Let's cut to the fights. Wow. As in super, double, incredible wow.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

While you might not always appreciate the historical aspects of the story, you will definitely find Chan's physical acumen amazing.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A fleet, enjoyable Jackie Chan romp.

[Chan's] drunken boxing in this movie is the stuff of poetry.
