Though it wasn't Jackie Chan's first film, Drunken Master is the film that cemented his stardom. Jackie plays the rebellious son of a kung fu master. To teach Jackie the value of discipline, his father apprentices him to another master named So Hi, who has a unique "drunken" fighting style. Jackie chafes at So Hi's rigorous exercises and runs away--only to be brutally humiliated at the hands of a hired killer named Thunderleg. Chastened, Jackie becomes So Hi's devoted student. He soon discovers he will need everything he's learned when Thunderleg is hired to kill his father. In Drunken Master, Jackie is only beginning to cultivate his mixture of action and comedy; here the emphasis is on kung fu acrobatics. But the kung fu is astounding. The final fight is dizzying and amazingly choreographed by director Yuen Woo-ping (now famous as the fight choreographer for The Matrix). --Bret Fetzer

Drunken Master: entertaining and informative

A high school student recommended I check out this dvd to learn a little bit more about Kung Fu. I'm glad I did.
As a dance teacher, I enjoyed Jackie Chan's and the other performers' technical skill, strength, style, humor, beauty of motion, and the similarity between this martial art form and dance.

Beer & Kungfu never looked better together

I won't sit here, lie and say that Drunken Master is one of my favorite fu flicks or the best ever just to please the masses. I see several that I find alot better. But it is a very entertaining watch and I encourage anyone who considers themselves fans of Jackie to check this out. Drunken Master combines a nice blend of action and comedy.

The film is blessed with some pretty good, well choreographed fights. And the writing is alot better than people give it credit for. This isn't just a mindless action fest. The fights happen for a reason and everything lead to something. Jackie gave a very good performace but what brings me back to this film is his opponent Thunderfoot. This guy works his legs like a magician. The very few fights he's in are spectacular.

The thing I like about this film the most is the final battle. Even though Jackie learned a very dangerous style. The final battle wasn't one sided at all. This could have easily ruined the whole film for me.

The biggest problem that I have with this film is that Jackie never matures. He stays the same hothead that doesn't take much seriously. A little character development never hurt anything. Still this is a pretty good fu flick that I'm glad to keep around.

Low budget fun

Jackie Chan plays a talented young kung-fu artist whose overconfidence and disrespect results in his tutelage under the sadistic master of drunken kung-fu. He improves his style, becomes a better person, and defeats a villainous assassin who has been sent to kill his father. There is really nothing to recommend in this ultra low-budget film other than the excellent work of the kung-fu fighters and Jackie Chan's charisma, but that's plenty. You'll have to endure the creaky, clichéd plot at time, but never fear--there's always another fight coming.
