Drunken Master

Pros: Comedy and Martial Arts sequences, excelent DVD commentary
Cons: audio problems

What happens when you combine liquor and fighting? In America you get a bar brawl, in China you get a whole new style of fighting. This movie was a very large part of making Jackie Chan the superstar he is today. I see it as a marker in his career. ...

Pros: Good old school kung fu fighting.
Cons: A bit dated looking now.

Drunken Master starring Jackie Chan. One of the two films which shot him into stardom.

Note: This review is for the Hong Kong Legends DVD release.

Pros: A terrific kung-fu film, a worthy classic
Cons: Horrible Sub-Titles

I had recently borrowed the Jackie Chan "Drunken Master" video collection from a friend after hearing from fans of Jackie Chan that this series is some of his best work. So I loaded it into the VHS, started the video, and just saw something...

Pros: Electrifying multiple and one-on-one matches!
Cons: Confusing at the first 30 minutes

It has been a slow season for fighting movies since Jet Li's Romeo Must Die. Although it has been recently released, Jackie Chan's Drunken Master has been known as a famous classic kung fu hit since the early 1990s. It combines humor and mind boggling...

Pros: Jackie chan is superb, and the drunken style is amazing
Cons: the subtitles are pretty bad.

The Drunken Master stars Jackie Chan as Naughty Panther the practical joking son of a very strict Kung Fu Master. Depending on what version of this movie you get the subtitles may be different due to different translations of the original chinese...

Pros: Drunken style of kung fu is performed to perfection and is beautiful to look at
Cons: horrible subtitles

Jackie Chan put himself on the map with this absolutely incredible film. This movie is filled with grade A, top of the line fight scenes, and Jackie Chan's trademark humor. The film suffers a bit from poor, unreadable subtitles, but it is still one of...

Pros: kung fu action, comedy, sam seed
Cons: none really

Jackie chan's drunken master has gone down in history as one of the best kung fu movies of all time. and i can certainly see why.

jackie chan plays a local kid w/ average kung fu ability who gets into a lot of trouble. He tries to kiss this...

Pros: Fights
Drunken Fights
Cons: Another Kung Fu Theater Class Film
Bad Chinese/English Language selection

First off, this film is NOT displaying the best manner of combat. Second, this wasn't the film I wanted to see. Well, I've seen what is apparently Drunken Master 2. I thought I was renting the film for a second time. As luck would have it, this is ...

Pros: Good Kung Fu
Cons: Throw-away plot, badly filmed, poorly developed supporting characters.

After seeing this films sequel/follow up, The Legend of Drunken Master, I found myself compelled to check out the original. What was I hoping for? Perhaps an amplification of the second film? Perhaps even more incredible Kung Fu that the second (as...

Pros: Jackie Chan at his prime. Great martial arts choreography.
Cons: Plot? What plot?

I break out this film whenever someone goes on about how amazing Jackie Chan is in his recent movies. Sure, he has the "Man without fear, stuntman without net" schtick, but frankly, his martial arts scenes just seem to be slower and more intermittent....

Pros: fighting sequences
Cons: plot

This has got to be Jackie chan's best movie yet. The fight scenes are amazing and very quick. There are a lot of really neat moves that Jackie Chan does in this movie. There's this one part where Jackie Chan jumps at a guy, spins in mid air, and hits...

Pros: Brilliant choreography and some of the most amazing fight sequences ever
Cons: It gets a little slow in places. Laughable humour in places (wrong reasons!)

In my opinion, one of the best martial arts films ever made, not only due to the quality and overall consistency of the fighting, but also due to a number of other factors too. First I shall talk about it's main reason to be, which is of course the...

Pros: cool moves
Cons: fighting is slowed down

Besides Legend of Drunken Master, this movie has to be the best one out there. Legend of Drunken Master is actually the sequel to this movie. Jackie Chan's character is a trouble maker. His dad gets angry and decides to have his brother discipline...

Pros: High impact, low budget style, and very Jackie Chan.
Cons: I did find some of the acting a bit trying at times.

I saw this movie a couple of times...once when I was younger and less experienced as a martial artist and again recently. I can tell you my opinion has not changed one bit. The title says it all...Jackie Chan is a Drunken Style Master. The plot follows...

Pros: This is one of the funniest kung-fu movies I've seen.
Cons: Film quality, and sound.

I was really bored one night, so I decided to rent a kung-fu flick, as I had recently become interested in them. I had recently seen "Half a loaf of kung-fu" which is another jacky chan movie, and I figured that if this was half as funny as half a loaf...
