The action legend himself -- Jackie Chan (SHANGHAI NOON, RUSH HOUR) -- explodes across the screen in a power-packed adventure that critics agree captures some of the most incredible action stunts ever! When the British government is discovered smuggling precious Chinese artifacts out of the country, folklore hero Wong Fei-Hung (Chan) uses his uniquely outlandish style of martial arts ... Drunken Boxing ... to fight the conspirators and salvage the valuables before it's too late! And the more Hung drinks, the more agile he becomes -- able to fend off numerous attacks with unbelievable moves! With Chinese treasures and family pride on the line, Hung steps up to every challenge in this fun and unstoppably entertaining hit!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Drunken Master
I am not that much of a Jackie Chan fan but in this movie he is awesome.
I love the whole drunken master wire fu action movie stuff. And Jackie Chan does a wonderful job at it. Great movie for the whole family to watch.
Rating: - Spectacular
Jackie Chan truly delivers a spectacular performance. In the final battle scene Jackie takes it to the extreme.
This movie will surely become a classic in the martial art genre, in the pure tradition of the Bruce Lee style.
Rating: - 5-star movie, best version for casual action fans. . .
I know it's sacrilege to suggest that a cut-down, dubbed DVD is superior in any way to the original. But in this case it does have its advantages. This film (originally titled Drunken Master 2) is JC's best Kung Fu choreography you'll find. This version is shorter than the Hong Kong version, has only dubbing, and replaces the original score.

Rating:  - More beer & kung fu
Jackie Chan returns in top form with his drunken art. Without a doubt the highlight of this film is seeing Jackie in action. But I found the film stale in some areas. Most notably with the characters. Outside of Jackie, I really didn't care for any of them.
The action scenes are very good and they're plenty. But this time around the characters were very uninteresting to me. The lead villian in this one could never match Thunderfoot from the original. If only more screen time was given to ... Read More
Rating:  - OMFG Dubs ONLY!
This movie is one of the few I showcase to friends when they talk about how much they love Jackie Chan. I often follow that statement up with, "Well, have you seen this.." I do love this movie and for every Jackie Chan fan, its one of the movies you need to watch. When my VHS version 'died', I got a copy of this version to find... f***in A, they dubbed it, and dubbed it horribly I might add. I really don't understand why you would want to lobotomize a film like this, or any film for that matter with D ... Read More
