Summary: The Very Best! Jackie Chan is the Master! Not Jet Li.
Review: If your reading this review you're probably aware of who Jackie Chan is. If you never seen Drunken Master 2 I recommend that you make it your mission to see it. What can I say that hasn't already been said? As far as Kelly Magovern's review goes: Ignore it. It's completely juvenile anyways, with comments like "bust a move" it's no doubt the criticism of a 13 year-old who watches too much MTV. You can't even compare Jet Li to Jackie Chan. Jackie is so successful because not only is he a great martial artist, but also a talented actor, writer, director, producer, stunt choreographer and comedian. You really can't even compare the two. Jet Li owes whatever success he has in America to Jackie. I have respect for Jet Li as a fine martial artist, but martial arts alone doesn't make a great film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hands down the Best martial arts movie ever. Period
Review: Finally Jackie returned to what made him a star! Don't get me wrong his super-stunts are spectacular but eye-popping kung-fu is far more entertaining. This is the perfect mix of Hong-Kong humor, action and drama, from Fei-Hung's comic antics to his moving relationship with his father to the climactic battle with Ken Lo, this movie is a martial arts titan suitable for the whole family!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A cinematic landmark.
Review: Chan returns to the role of Wong Fei Hung and shows all the pretenders how it should be done! Quite simply the fight scenes are incredible - much better than Fist Of Legend (even though that was another superb film). If he doesn't get a mention among the cinematic greats after the classics he's made, there's no justice.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love this movie!
Review: This movie is very good! Jackie Chan is the most talented artist in the world!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THANK YOU, JACKIE!
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time. The action and fight choreography to this movie are so fast and powerful, that you'll be either frozen in awe, or jumping in excitement. This movie has more too: the acting is very good, the humor is very funny, and the setting is perfect. I have seen many martial arts movies of all types, from the Shaw Bros. productions - to the new Hong Kong films of the present, and I have to say that this is the greatest Martial Arts Film Ever! I have seen "Fist of Legend", "Enter the Dragon", "Once Upon a Time in a China", "Iron Monkey", and countless others, but Drunken Master 2 surpasses them in every aspect, especially the fight choreography. Every fight is a sight to behold. Too many new Martial Arts movies these days use strings and camera tricks too much, but Jackie kept it realistic, and what a difference it makes! When I watched the end fight scene to this film, I couldn't blink, and my jaw had dropped open in amazement. The fight scene in the end is the most earth-shattering, mind-boggling, jaw-dropping, incredibly amazing fight I have ever seen. I still get chills when I see it. This movie is a blessing. Thank You, Jackie Chan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: better than average!
Review: I have to agree with Kelly M ( see posts above ). This movie is not all that. Don't get me wrong, I love Jackie Chan flicks, but once you see what Jet Li is capable of, you won't turn back. Fist of Legend is AMAZING! This has got to be the ultimate martial arts movie ever made. If you need proof go watch it for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackie Chan`s return to traditional Gung-Fu mayhem!
Review: Sheer unadulterated excellance from the Clown-Prince of Gung-Fu. The film oozes with mesmerizing fight scenes especially the end battle between Chan sing-lung and Muay thai master Lo Hwei-Kong, comedy is never far away with Anita Mui capablely playing Sing-Lung`s mother. My advice however try and get original Chinese VCD version as subs and picture quality alot better!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect Jackie Chan movie
Review: What Gone with the Wind was to Clark Gable, what Citizen Kane was to Orson Wells, what Singin' in the Rain was to Gene Kelly-that's what Drunken Master 2 is to Jackie Chan. This is the best movie Chan has ever made. The story is good, the cinematography is beautiful, the music is great, the choreography is amazing, the acting is great (especially Anita Mui, who steals virtually every scene she's in), Chan's fighting skills are at their absolute peak of perfection. The fight sequences in this film start out at a thrilling level, and then get better as the movie goes on, ending with a stunning climax. If you like Jackie Chan, you will LOVE this movie. A warning, however: the subtitles are very hard to read in places, and I had to watch it several times before I understood the entire plot--but this should not be a problem, because you will want to watch this over and over again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Martial Arts film ever made
Review: For anyone who likes Martial Arts movies with only the highest quality examples of martial artist, Drunken Master 2 is a movie that must be seen. The final fight scene in the movie lasts more than 15 minutes and includes stunts and martial arts moves that must be seen to be believed. 5 stars all the way across.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Boring!
Review: This movie is completely boring! I was so emotionally univolved with the characters. People told me how great the martial arts was in this film. It ain't all that! Jet Li's "Fist of Legend" had way better martial arts. Jackie Chan never even busts any cool tricks like butterfly twist or 720's or anything. Even Jet Li will at least bust some capoeira. The same old Jackie Chan fast hands. I'm tired of it! Bust a side swipe or a double-leg 540 and then we'll see who's talking, Jackie! I'll give him a few stars for encouragement. --Kelly Magovern
