Summary: The Best of Jackie Chan!
Review: Not only does this movie raise the bar for fighting choreography, but it has so many other facets that make it a movie to be appreciated by movie lovers of all genre's. I won't dwell on the martial arts aspect. There have been plenty of reviews that have addressed the fact that this movie's fight scenes mark the greatest efforts of a martial arts wonder like Jackie Chan. There is no single martial arts talent in the West that can even compare to Hong Kong greats like Jackie. I would prefer to point out that unlike most martial arts pictures ( and unfortunately this includes some of Jackie's too) this picture has a quality story and great characters too. So much so that I have seen people who can't stand martial arts pictures really enjoy this one. Viewers will be amazed by the martial arts ability while they laugh at the antics of Jackie playing the young mischievous Fei Hung and Anita Mui playing his equally mischievous step-mother. This movie truly represents the range of Jackie's acting ability from humor, to penitant, to unbridled anger. All in all, a movie to be appreciated by everyone.

Summary: I never saw the Original Drunken Master II
Review: All I know, is this movie is awesome. I went to see it with my brother who hates Jackie Chan movies, and even he loved it. Its funny, had good acting, and of course is known for the most incredible fight scenes you will EVER SEE in a movie. I don't know anything about the old score, so forgive my ignorance. But I did like the new score, I'm not saying its better cause other might get mad at that, it did make the fight scenes intense and sent shivers up my spine when Jackie did a drunken master pose. This is wicked stuff, no wires, no stunt doubles, nothing else like it in the world. I can't wait for this DVD release, I hope it includes the scene they took out of the theatre release where Jackie is shown at the end to be so drunk and messed up that he collapses. Or so I heard, whether put back or shown as a deleted film I hope it ends up in this package somewhere. So go ahead, buy this movie, and enjoy Jackie at his Ultimate best.

Summary: STICK WITH AN ORIGINAL~!!!!!
Review: Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look act so dumb by English Dubb. ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots, and bulls though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ooo....aaa...eee...I'm o.k.
Review: I have just had the pleasure of watching "Legend of a drunken Master." Jackie Chan and all envolved literally scorched the fight scenes of the Matrix. I felt myself jumping and jerking in my seat, getting the humorous and adrenaline soaked emotion radiating off of this film's surface. It is just plain awesome. It is dubbed in English, what do you expect! You have no time to read lines between the action sequences! L.O.A.D.M just gave me the heartiest experience I have gotten out of a film in quite a while, in light of the dribble Jeepers Creepers that I had to sit through recently.
The action hardly takes a breath, and you can tell that Chan has to "tone-down" when doing American films, because he is down right fast and jerky. This movie proves it! Watch Bruce Lee, then watch Jackie...who's faster?
Chan uses an endless amount of instrument's, whatever he can get his hand's on, in jovial and powerful act's of martial art's rhythm.
The cast surrounding him stand's their ground and remain's close to his fighting standard's. Even the extra's that are merely there to be beaten up, and we're talking hundreds of them.
This sequal to "Drunken Master" is definately one of, if not the, best Jackie Chan has to offer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST ACTION EVER
Review: I bought this movie not knowing what it would be like. I read other reviews saying it was the best Jackie Chan film. I was hoping that you were right. After the first 30 minutes I thought it was good because of the sword fight in the beginning which was awesome. Then about 30 minutes later I got a little disapointed because the fighting wasn't the greatest at that point. Right after an hour of the movie it gets great. Best action ever occurs here. He fights like a hundred men. Kind of what the Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers was like. All the enemies had axes and they were coming through windows and every opening. It was awesome. Jackie and his other friend starting fighting. I'm not going to tell you any more about that.

Then at the 15 scene which is 15 minutes long he fights throughout the whole thing. When he's fighting the one boss guy its unbelievable. The enemy is swinging his foot and its making a whistle sound because he's swinging his foot so fast.

Basically whenever Jackie Chan drinks in the movie he gets very hyper and stuff and starts fighting better then anyone else. This is a great action movie overall.

I give it a 9/10. Loses a point for the dubbing because the talking ain't that great dubbed.

I recommend also:
-Jackie Chan's First Strike
-Rumble in the Bronx
-Mr.Nice Guy
-Gorgeous

Summary: One of Jackie Chan's best movies since Operation Condor 2
Review: Jackie Chan is known for one thing. Making movies with dumb English dubs. When I saw Project A, It didn't use his true voice. He sounded stupid and the only time you will hear him use his true voice when he stars in an American movie involving action (think about the movie "Rush Hour"). When The Legend of Drunken Master came out in store shelves on DVD, I went on and bought the movie and when I played it on my DVD player, I was impressed with the fact that they used the actual voice of Jackie Chan and the fact that the movie mixes comedy and martial arts action. It makes me laugh when Fei Hong (Jackie Chan) goes drunk. Sorry, that's all I gotta say about this movie. I can't spoil any surprises. If you're in search for a good Jackie Chan movie, get this one ! It's definently worth it ! Don't listen to the people who say that this movie is corny. So go ahead and make your money useful on this movie !

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great movie except for the LANGUAGE CHOICES
Review: Great DVD, very clear, wide-screen, good movie. But why did they have to ruin it by dubbing it into English? American viewers need to realize that dubbing a foreign movie into English NEVER makes it better. Keep the original language track!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Martial Art Movie Made...
Review: The fight scenes are jaw dropping.

The skill that is involved to perform those feats is mesmerizing.

How far Jackie Chan will go to make as good a martial arts film as possible is highly commendable as well as very dangerous.

I thoroughly enjoyed this picture. Seen it many times and still I wonder how those actors/stunt people performed some of those feats. It's pretty wild.

The plot and story is also pretty funny, with Jackie Chan and his comedic timing.

Sit back, relax and let the movie take you on a nice ride with lots of action.

Rating: 5 stars
