Summary: Awsome Movie
Review: This is an outrageously hilarious, butt kicking actioned, jaw dropping absolutely super awsome stunted movie. Jackie Chan is at his best and he showed that comedy mixed with action is a sweeet mixture. Most of the comical and funny parts came cause he was drunk. Alot of good fighting scenes and awsome stunts made himself. This movie kills Shangai Noon in action, and it destroys all his other movies besides rush hour in comedy. This is a 100% muust see 5 starred excellent movie!!

Summary: awesome hand to hand action
Review: Jackie and his friends get caught up in a war between rich men who want to sell China's heritage and the people. Jackie cannot drink or his dad (who looks younger than Jackie, oh well) will get mad at him, but he must in order to be the drunken master.This movie is really awesome in the action sequences. Unlike some of Jackies first come-back-to-america movies (Supercop and First Strike, and the made in america Rush Hour), Legend of Drunken Master has a lot of fighting action. It is traditional action with some hardcore hits and thuds, all at the same fast crazy pace. Lots of Kung-fu stances, kicks, punches, blocks, weird fast twists, and Jackie's own stuff. Not many stunts like jumping car to car or off a building but there are lots of one on one stunts. There are lots of body bashing and brutal hits!!! The wire works are pretty cool in this too (yes, Jackie does use wires sometimes, one is obvious to see on Jackie's back in the last one on one battle scene in the movie). Wire works are bad in my mind when it is obvious that the body is being swung, but wires work their magic when down fast and well which this movies does. Ho Sung Pak (if anyone knows him) is in this movie, but if you are a fan of this kung-fu master, prepare to be dissapointed. He doesn't get to do his amazing jump attacks or his fast lighting cressent kicks. he plays a normal thug, no biggie stuff. All in all, this is a really good jackie Chan movie and I recomend it to all Jackie fans.

Summary: One of Jackie Chan's best movies
Review: "Legend of the Drunken Master" has some of the best fight scenes I have seen in a long time. Jackie Chan's superb blending of comedy and martial arts lends itself nicely to this film; his grace and vigor are absolutely amazing. I am completely amazed at some of the stuff this man can do. The picture quality and the dubbing are just excellent in this movie; the story line is also very well thought out. If you are a Jackie Chan fan (and even if you aren't), this is definitely a must see!

Summary: Jackie Chan's finest...
Review: Only recently released here in the States for mass viewing on VHS, and originally titled, "Drunken Master 2," in Asia, this piece represents what could arguably be called Jackie Chan's finest example of both martial arts prowress and film-making expertise. The Legend of Drunken Master (US title) portrays the well-known hero, Wong Fei-Hong (also portrayed by Jet Li in the "Once Upon a Time in China" series, as well as many others) in an incredible period piece where Jackie reputedly had to practice and study intensively to develop his own more exciting and acrobatic form of drunken style Chinese gung-fu. Each fight scene is extensively choreographed and the storyline is both well acted and amusingly humorous. Anita Mui plays a comedic aunt role and you'll notice Lui Kang of Mortal Kombat fame having a good dose of screen time, only to have his fight scene minimized. According to the Jackie Chan crew, he was simply unable to match the rhythmic tempo required in Hong Kong style fight scenes and instead, Jackie opted to highlight the skills of his own personal body guard (with the lightning feet). The Legend of Drunken Master will appeal to anyone wanting a break from the wire work of the Matrix style fight scenes prevelent today. As w/all Jackie's work, nothing is sped up and no wires are used for those flying jumps. It's one of the top selling movies in Asia of all time. Isn't it about time to see it?

Summary: Super Kung-Fu and Lots of Laughs!!!
Review: I have been a fan Jackie Chan for a long time and several years ago we got the original Drunken Master (1978) as a joke and it ended up being one of our favorites. We were so excited to hear that they'd made a sequel and it definitely lives up to its predecessor. It is loaded with plenty of Chan's amazing one-of-a-king stunts and outrageous action sequences; but there's more, when you're not reveling in the awesome fight scenes you'll be laughing your head off at the comical dialogue and circumstances. This is absolutely a must have for any Chan Fan or anyone who enjoys comedy and Kung-Fu all wrapped up in one!

Summary: Best Jackie Chan movie!
Review: I am a huge Chan fan and Drunken Master 2 has always been my favorite. DM2 and Legend of Drunken Master are the same movie. The only difference is instead of being subtitled it has been dubed in English. I couldn't believe the difference this made in the movie. The reason for the name change was because they never released the first Drunken Master in US theaters and didn't want to confuse people. It is still the same awesome movie with the best fight scenes of all time with Jackies crazy antics. Best part is the end where they show the bloopers. Anyone who does their own stunts gets my admiration. You won't be sorry you bought this film.

Summary: High Kicking Excitement
Review: This film is regarded by afficianados as Jackie Chans best film. After watching it I understand why. Like most of Chans films, a mixup sets the stage for many a martial arts battle. Another underlying Chan theme prevalent in this film is the stealing of China's culture for profit. Chan's real-life body guard plays the main nemesis whom he takes on in a breath taking fight sequence that reportedly took several months to film. I have seen the subtitled version of this film and it is slightly better than the dubbed. They changed the politically incorrect ending of the subtitled version, which shows Jackie slobbering in a stupor after drinking way too much alcohol. Some fight highlights of this film include a spear fight under a train, several drunken fights, a quick battle with a chain weilding iron worker, and a restaurant brawl with hundreds of swarming goons. You would do yourself a disservice as a Jackie Chan fan if you passed this one up.

Summary: Fast Paced Kung Fu Action
Review: If ever there were a movie to take me back the the days of Kung Fu mania, continous play triple features at budget theatres during the 70's, its LEGEND of DRUNKEN MASTER. And best of all, this movie actually has a plot! Trying to stop British (a throw back to the days of British ownership of Hong Kong?)smugglers and poor factory conditions of his friends, Jackie Chan's recreation of Wong Fei Hung has fast paced, exciting kung fu featuring some of the most ecxiting, intense fighting sequences ever filmed (in the restaurant and steel mill scenes). Although peppered with the usual out of sync dubbing made famous by these imports, the voice of Hung is the actual voice of Chan! Originally released in 1994, this sequel to 1978's DRUNKEN MASTER is a must see by all Jackie Chan fans.

Summary: awesome martials arts movie
Review: This is a great movie for those who love well choreographed martials arts scenes that does not look artificial. No super human flying in this one, just realistic stunts. I normally watch Jet Li more than Jackie but I really like this one.

Summary: Great DVD!! Ignore the Put-Downers!
Review: I won't attempt to review the actual film - everyone agrees it is one of the best Jackie films every done with regard to story, music, martial arts sequences etc. etc. I have seen both the original version, Cantonese with (unreadable) subtitles, and now this DVD. Dimension have done a good job this time (unlike Project A released earlier). They have come as close as possible to the original and it has the added bonus OF JACKIE'S VOICE!! And Anita Mui dubs as well. The dubbed voices are very good - especially Ken Lo as John. Of course, some of the extras had "fake" Chinese and English accents, but a minor irritation. Picture quality is superb. Yes, the music is different but very close to the original. A Chinese orchestra actually did the soundtrack. Yes, the end scene was excluded - ie. Jackie stumbling around like a blind drunk - it made him look like an idiot and I am glad they deleted it. It doesn't add anything to the story at all. All in all, if you want to see this movie with JACKIE ACTUALLY USING HIS OWN VOICE - get it! Ignore the critics.
