Summary: Chinese audio track problem...
Review: Like the other reviewers, very disappointed with the chinese audio track. This was one of my favourite movies from my childhood... Saw it back in 1978 or thereabouts.I can't believe that in 2002 they could have come out with such a buggy release!

Summary: Drunken Master (1978)
Review: Jackie's second comedy/action film is great (though not as good as its sequel)! The disadvantge is that it has very very very poor dubbing!!!!! But don't let that cool you off! If you love martial arts films/Jackie Chan films this has got your name on it!

Summary: Great Digital Remaster
Review: Finally its been digitally remastered! This and "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" are perfect for your collection. The quality is excellent and superior to any video version. On my DVD player, the audio language sometimes alternated between English and Chinese but I set it to display the caption in English. And it's in fantastic widescreen so you can see all the action, literally, that is cut off in the video version.

Summary: The Greatest Movie of All Times
Review: Ok. America now has a high quality copy of Drunken Master available at your local... If you don't have this on DVD, get this one because it's high quality. Big deal if the subtitles and audio tracks get mixed up here and there because we should feel lucky that they were kind enough to release this for purchase at... With that said, This is the Greatest Movie of all times. Forget all that Pretentious, Hollywood Oscar nominated ... with Gladiators, Wizard's, Monster Balls, and whatever ... they make and nominate at their ceremonies, because this film blows them all away. Why? Because it is the greatest film of all times.
No other picture manages to combine Grace, Beauty, Sadness, Action... all the things Hollywood Producers, Actors, Directors, etc deliberately set out to do so they can win that little trophy... Drunken Master is a million times better than all of those films put together. This is a True work of art that should have been included in The Greatest 100 Movies of all times. It should have been number one on their list! Well, if the type of movie you like is about people crying and making you want to cry and feel sad and depressed, don't watch this. But if you want to see people cry and go through sadness and pain, but it makes you to laugh, then watch this. This film is a masterpiece of cinematic brilliance. Those same top 100 list people didn't even give this an honorable mention! It's too bad because many people will never get to see, or even become aware of this film. Oh well. That's their problem and not yours because if you are reading this, then you have become enlightened and should watch this movie if you have never seen it yet.

Summary: Probably the best Jackie Chan film out there
Review: Drunken Master starts the Kung-Fu comedy Genre and although the story is lighthearted in nature, the athletic work every character displays still holds strong almost twenty years later.
Jackie Chan shows the world how big a star he will become in this Yuen Woo Ping masterpiece. The drunken style he dispalys in this classic will make you laugh even though your jaw has dropped to the floor. The training sequences he goes through are vigorous and gut-wrenching which many films later try to impersonate but fail to do so.
Seriously, if you like Jackie or old Martial Arts Films, i shouldn't have to tell you to go buy this, the movie is great and the DVD quality is even better. P.S.
The audio commentary is probably the best i have heard on any DVD. They break down the film to a comlete science and after listening you will only have more respect for Jackie.

Summary: The movie that made jackie chan
Review: I don't care what anyone tells you about Kung Fu, or Jackie Chan. I have seen every movie he has ever starred in, and this is by far the best movie he has ever done. People praise the sequel to this movie, "The Legend of Drunken Master" but to be fair... It fails in comparison to this master piece. It's filled with non stop action, amazing fight sequences, and really shows off the skill of Jackie Chan. This movie was made in 1978, its long before Hollywood took a giant poop on kung fu movies, and made them all wires and special effects... There aren't any blue screens, or wires... I can't emphasize the importance of this movie in any Kung Fu collection... It's a MUST buy... If anything, rent it... It blows away all the competition... If you like Kung Fu movies... This is a must...

Summary: Well, I guessed right.
Review: So Columbia did get the distribution rights. Good, better them than Disney (ugh). The picture looks great like I hoped, and it even had the original audio track. I heard that the reason why it cuts between Cantonese and English in some spots is that the Cantonese track, which was originally thought to be lost, was so damaged in some areas that there was no chance of repairing them. I don't know if that's the official reason or not... just something I heard.
I only have two problems with this edition: the lack of relevant special features, like the original trailer, and the fact that at least one famous piece of dialogue has been changed in the subtitles. Wong Fei-Hung's famous line in the climactic fight against Thunderleg, "One Buddhist, one temple..."etc. was changed to "Nobody can fight like my Drunk Gods do!" or something corny like that.
Otherwise, a top-notch release. If you want to see some special features, you should bum a copy of the HK Legends release. The picture on that edition is cropped to 1.85:1 from the original scope, and the quality isn't all that, but it's worth checking out for the background information.

Summary: The greatest "Drunken Immortals" depiction ever!!!
Review: The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was because of a few technical flaws with the DVD itself. However, anyone who has seen the original VHS tape knows that even with the flaws, it's still A LOT better! This is the best demonstration of the "8 Drunken gods" ever done. Throughout the history of Hong Kong cinema, very few of the artists and stunt men wanted to attempt this genre because of its difficulty. The fluidity and beauty is uncanny. Inside the history of the styles of Shaolin, there are very few systems that are more advanced. This prved Jackie Chan as a true star.

Summary: Chinese track is botched!
Review: OMG, I was so happy to finally see one of Jackie Chan's best films come to DVD at last. This is the original classic that has been imitated to the max by other flicks as well as by Jackie Chan himself. I'm not going to explain the plot and such. This was a great film with great action scenes and a lot of funny moments. The audio commentary is also a nice touch. BUT, why two stars you ask? Here's the problem: The Chinese track switches from Chinese to English across different chapters. I thought it was my player but then I tried other players and the same problem arose. Then after reading the following reviews on Amazon, this was the manufacturer's fault! I can't believe it! I've had the VCD for years and I loved the film. Now that I FINALLY get to see it in it's widescreen glory with remastered footage (which looks GREAT if you've been watching the original versions) I find out they BOTCHED the Chinese track. If you like dubs (ick) then you won't care. But the Chinese track was hilarious and was one of my fave parts of the film. They also edited out a few scenes that are noted int he audio commentary. =( I would've given this DVD 5 stars if they didn't mess up the language tracks so badly. Shame on you Colombia/Tristar!
