Summary: Drunken Master 1 and 2 are the best Kung Fu movies ever made
Review: If you like Martial Arts movies you have to get these two movies, in my opinion part one is only topped by part two when it comes to the fighting scenes, but the story is actually better on part one. Jackie Chan has shown us that when he wants to be serious about making a Martial Arts movie he can make the best stuff out there.

Summary: Better Than The First!
Review: This is my third favorite Chan movie and it is one of the best action flicks you will ever find. This one is a lot better than the first even though the subtitles go a little fast at times. The action in this movie is unforgettable, and the comedy is also funny to. When he blew out a bubble at the end and then fainted, I laughed my head off. I recommend you rent this then when it is released in a good dubbed version buy it. You won't regret it. Watch the action scenes to find out why.

Summary: best chan movie.
Review: This is Jackie Chans best movie period and is also one of my favorite movies of all time....I can't stress how good the fights are in this movie,this and fist of legend are the two best "on the ground "kung-fu movies with no wires,and I even prefer this movies choreography over fist of legends....I think the main reason I liked this movie so much was it was the first movie where Jackie Chan actually seemed "cool" and not just a silly guy who knows how to fight,I think that is what makes Jet Li movies so popular,is the fact that he carries "coolness" like no one else and Jackie finally pulls off the same charisma here even going a little berserk and looking flat out vicious when he gets drunk.This is definitley one of the best Wong Fei-Hung interpretations of all time and is a must own for any kung-fu fan out there,and especially a must own for anyone who thought that he was just a silly guy who knows how to fight.

Summary: Better than the first!
Review: "Drunken Master II" surpasses the power in the martial arts sequences compared to the first one. Don't get me wrong, I loved "The Drunken Master", it's one of Jackie Chan's best movies from the early years, but comparing it to it's sequel, it just doesn't measure up. The second one has more dangerous stunts and the action is just awesome. A lot of contemporary Chinese kung fu movies use strings to give that certain effect, but Chan doesn't need such compromises, and it's evident in this movie and others he has made. I don't know how the English dubbed version is like, since I saw the original Cantonese version, so I cannot comment on how good/bad the dubbing is. But once the fighting starts, does dubbing really matter. Anyway, this is a must for Jackie Chan fans, he is at his best.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: In case you don't know much about the jist of the movie, it's basically like Popeye except that liqour replaces the spinach. It's not quite that simple, but anyay, the action and humor are both great. Even though it's in Cantonese with English subtitles, it is nevertheless more enthralling than any of Jackie Chan's more Americanized movies. This movie, along with Shall We Dance? and Life is Beautiful, are my favorite foreign films.

Summary: drunken master II
Review: drunken master II was awesome. What an incredible job the director, Mr. Lau did in this movie. Jackie chan was money and the 2 bad guys, Hosung and Ken were great. Hosung looks unbelievable on screen and I thought they should have done more with his character. Ken has great kicks.

Summary: Simply the best Martial Arts Film ever made
Review: I know some of you will disagree and say that Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", or Jet Li's "Fist of Legend" was the best ever made but I would have to disagree. While Bruce Lee was the best Martial Artist ever, his movies were average in regards to their fight choreography.No one could ever touch him in his films. The fight choreography in "Drunken Master 2" was incredible. It was realistic because there were almost no wire stunts involved and the fight scenes were fantastic. The fight scene with Jackie and Liu Chia Liang (Lau Kar Leung) in the beginning was pure poetry in motion. The final fight scene was fifteen minutes of pure adrenaline pumping action. Unique choreography makes this movie a classic. Unlike Jet Li's characterization of Wong Fei Hung, Jackie makes Fei Hung seem more human and vulnerable. Nobody could ever touch Jet Li in the "Once Upon a Time in China" series. Plus some of the moves just look so ridiculously fake. "Fist of Legend" is Jet's best movie because it isn't as fake and he actually has to fight hard to win. However, it is still only the second best film ever made. Not to criticize any other reviewer, but since when does the ability to do 540's and 720's and Butterfly kicks make a martial art film great? I have been involved in Martial Arts for over a 20 years and would love for someone to try to fight me using those kicks. While they look fancy in forms competition, they mean nothing in a real tournment fight and even less in a real street fight. This film is without a doubt the best Jackie Chan film ever and the best ever made. (At least until Jackie and Jet team up to do a film as has been rumored)

Summary: Chan at his Best
Review: I'd heard a lot of great things about this movie, but I never expected it to be THIS good. As with most Chan movies you have the non-existent plot, and lousy acting. There are a lot of funny sequences though (Chan's mom in the film is hilarious). The main reason to rent this film is watch the fight sequences, perticularly the one at the end. The only drawback is the un-readable subtitles and poor picture quality. Other than that this is the best martial arts movie ever.

Summary: The most entertaining movie ever made?
Review: It's a ridiculous task to name a movie for the above honor, but if someone held a gun to my head and forced me, this would be the one. If every man, woman and child on Earth had a copy, the world would be a happy, peaceful place.Jackie's contortions of body and face are so ecstatic that they have to count as some sort of religious/spiritual expression. I know that the first time I saw DM2 was a religious experience for me: the more so because it was my introduction to Chan as well as one of my first Hong Kong action flicks. A note on the subtitles that some have complained about: It's been standard in HK for a long time to subtitle movies in English (for the tiny percentage of English-speakers, mostly British administrator types, I guess) and in Chinese for those who don't speak Cantonese (the Chinese dialect in which most HK movies are made). However, the titles are treated as mere formalities, so they're usually cheap and slapdash. Believe me, I've seen much worse than this. And I don't agree that they're so bad a dubbed version is preferable; for one thing, you'd be missing half the hilarity of Jackie's performance. For another thing, dubbing is a tool of Satan.
