Summary: It's a keeper! Rent it. Buy it!
Review: This film has several formats. The VHS version from 1994 is the one you want to see! It is the perfect movie! It's also Jackie's perfect movie! This is a sequel, with 20 years between but Chan manages to look and act much younger. It is not difficult to accept him as being "young Wong Fei - hung". The only connection between the two films is Jackie and drunken boxing. Ti Lung is his father and Anita Mui is "Mom" (actually Fei - Hung's mother is dead). Anita darn near steals the show! This is a fantastic film! It is a period film, with unscrupulous people stealing as many Chinese treasures a possible. Chan accidentally gets involved in helping to stop the thefts and ends up taking on some major bad guys including Ken Lo in a steel factory. In my opinion the extended fight sequence is the absolute best, with
"Wheels On Meals" fight with Benny coming in a close second.
The final fight has Jackie battling a number of people before he squares off with Ken Lo. (Lo is a major talent in the kickboxing world and stands out as one of the best.) Jackie had some differences of opinion with the director and the final fight is designed by Jackie and it shows! It is powerful yet graceful..furious but with purpose. It is beyond excellent!
This film has something for everyone. In addition to Jackie's excellent fighting there are plenty of laughs, and more intricate plot than with many of his movies. There is a scene with Ti Lung and Chan that is poignant and feels very real. But it is the fight scene in the steel factory that will have you rewinding a dozen times. I have two MAJOR criticisms of the US release,primarily Disney's decision to throw out the the soundtrack and musical score! The music from the original is perfect and part of the whole feel of the film. There never was a valid explanation from Disney as to why they dumped the original score. Jackie dubbed his voice for Fei - hung, but the dialogue is not the same! Some might be attributed to the difficulty in translation but in some scenes the dialouge has been radically changed. Disney also cut out the very end of the movie as they felt it was offensive. But that leads to an abrupt end to the film. I have no problem with cutting that scene though and it does not change the film.
One of my all time favorite movies! This one should not be missed!

Summary: I Always Win at Mah Jong!
Review: Don't let the release date fool you; this is a re-release of a Jackie Chan movie originally made in 1994. Jackie does his own voice over, which is a great touch.The movie is almost perfectly balanced. The plot is a little weak. The acting is outstanding for this genre, the fighting is first-rate, and the characters are wonderfully manipulated in the story. The comedy is endearing, and it's just hilarious. There's just the right amount of anything. Even if you don't like kung fu flicks, get this one and I'm bet you'll enjoy it. It's one of Jackie's best.

Summary: Simply Fantastic
Review: This is a great movie for the Jackie Chan fan who loves action. In my opinion, this is Jackie Chan's best movie, because it has some of the best stunts and fight scenes ever preformed in one of his movies. So if your looking for a good Chan mmovie and your on Amazon.com, take a look at The Legend of Drunken Master. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Enough complaints!!! This film is amazing
Review: [...].The plot and dialogue in these films is a practically non-existent entity, there only to lead you to the next fight scene. You could watch such a film with mute on the entire time and it wouldn't appreciably diminish the experience. And what is that experience? The FIGHTING. Period. And it doesn't get any better than this film. There are two major fight scenes in this film that are simply the most remarkable works of martial arts choreography I have ever witnessed. The timings, the coordination of it all is absolutely perfect. This roughly 30 combined minutes of film are the only excuse you need to watch this movie. You'll enjoy the whole thing, of course -- it's a somewhat silly, tongue-in-cheek movie -- but it's all about the fighting, and every fight in this film is amazing. Then comes the crazy restaurant scene where Jackie and one other take on an armada of axe-wielding psychos. And just when you start wondering if that can be surpassed, here comes the 20-minute final fight. It's beyond amazing. It's godlike. I am left still wondering how the timings are so absolutely perfect. If you truly care about the dialogue, go find an original tape to rave about. (Really, there's barely enough dialogue in this film to matter, dubbed or otherwise.) The rest of us can settle for this "inferior" dubbed version. Thankfully the hyper-purists have not detracted much from the overall rating. Just imagine it's showing 5 stars -- it should be.

Summary: A Woman's Perspective - Don't Roll Your Eyes!! :-)
Review: My husband wanted to rent a martial arts movie from Blockbuster. So he wouldn't pick something stupid, I looked over the selections with him. This was the first box I saw. Everyone had said that Jackie Chan was talented, and that this movie was good, so I told my husband to get this one. He only wanted to watch the fighting, not the story (something he hated about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: "too much talking - not enough fighting"). I thought 'Drunken Master' was really funny, and the martial arts scenes were very interesting to watch. What I didn't like, though, was the dubbing. I understand why they had to dub it, but it was aggravating. I'm sure the caucasian men in the movie were British - and speaking English - so why didn't we hear their real voices? I would have given this movie five stars if it had subtitles instead.

Summary: Greatest martial arts movie ever.
Review: The most spectacular display of martial artistry I have ever witnessed. The beautiful fight-choreography and Jackie's great sense of humor blend wonderfully to make this a solid movie. If you like Jackie Chan, you must absolutly see this. If you don't like him, you're crazy, and should watch this movie to cure your insanity.

Summary: Great Movie!!!
Review: Luckily I was able to obtain a copy of it subtitled while it was still available. Don't get the dubbed copy, however. It's horrible. I really like Ti Lung, Jackie Chan, and Anita Mui. They make a great team together. I only wished they didn't dub it into English. They destroyed a great film.

Summary: 5 stars for picture clarity and sound, 3 stars for language
Review: The LODM is hands down jackie chan's best film...i own and seen most of his films and this one blows them all away...i still believe that jet li's Fist of Legend is the greatest martial arts movie of all time, but LODM gave it some competition...however, i recommend the original chinese version Drunken Master II...dont get me wrong, picture and sound are pretty much superior in the Dimension Home Video release, but the language is still a dub...suprisingly enough, jackie did his own dub for this film and it was pretty good.However, everyone else were just replacements and didn't capture the original feel, especially the mother, who was hilarious in the original, ended up being obnoxious...Drunken Master II HK version still has geat sound(5.1 DD) and picture tho and that dvd i would give 5 stars completely...the film is once again about wong fei hung righting wrongs (jet portrayed him best in my opinion), but the action is incredible, the martial arts is second only to Fist of Legend...this is jackie at his best with somewhat serious fighting as well as comedy...for the drunken style, jackie fit the role perfectly...this is one jackie chan movie that definitely must be watched and owned...check it out!!

Summary: DEFINATELY JACKIE'S BEST
Review: Chan and company get together to keep foreign powers from stealing Chinese cultural artifacts. I'm not a big fan of Jackie Chan, but he scored a bulls eye with this one. Great fight scenes and some truly humorous comedic situations. Ti Lung is impressive as always, Anita Mui (who somehow got cast as Chans mother of all things) plays her part very well and the great Chia-chiang Liu puts on a wonderful display of skill, especially considering he must have been well over 50 when he made this film. Chans climatic fight with his former real-life bodyguard Ken Lo is truly one of Hong Kong Cinema's all time great fights.
