Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent material all around!
Review: I was very pleased with the content of this DVD both on screen and the extra feature materials.The transfer quality is superb for both sound(5.1) and film(widescreen).The movie itself is an earlier work of Yuen Woo Ping,and it holds up nicely.The extras are plentiful-previews(18 of them),cast and crew bios with alot of bonus clips for each actor(too many to count),and alot of Wu Tang Clan extras-live performances,interviews,etc.Also a couple of behind the scenes featurettes.Overall a very good buy. I would also suggest the following-Fearless Master,Snake Shadow Lama Fist,Kung Fu of the 8 Drunkards and Incredible Kung Fu Master,which are all under the Wu Tang Clan series.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: could've been better
Review: There are some good fight scenes and a good story in this one along with widescreen and 5.1,but it shoots itself in the foot with that way over the top asian film humor,dont get me wrong I like alot of the comedy/Kung Fu films just not this one becouse they go to far not taking the film itself serious.If you want some funny Fu get "drunken master"the new or old one there both great or Snake in the eagles shadow.I cannot recommend Shaolin Drunkard.

Summary: Great film!
Review: This is an early example of director Yuen Woo Ping's work. The video quality is superb(widescreen),although I would recommend getting the DVD for an additional 5 dollars.It is LOADED with extra features that the VHS doesn't have.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: and im being generous with the 2
Review: This movie is horrible, not at all what the box sets it out to be, i was mad as hell when i got done watching this film. Only should be seen by real martial arts film fanatics, cause there the only ones that could get something out of it.

bad movie
