Summary: Don't waste your money !
Review: I recently bought this dvd believing it to be Drunken Master 2. What a shock I got when on playing this disc it turned out to be the 1978 original. Don't get me wrong the film itself is very good but the transfer onto dvd is disgraceful, my original vhs copy of the film is far better. Even the editorial led me to assume that this was going to be the sequel. If you're after Drunken Master 2, I believe its out now as Legend of Drunken Master.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No It isnt Legend of the drunken master
Review: I'll keep this short - if you're a real Jackie Chan fan this movie is a must have, if you're not this one is safe to skip. Be aware that the audio and video on this DVD is terrible.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good movie, bad audio/video.

Summary: Jackie Chan at his furiously funny best!
Review: Jackie Chan's dubbed 1993 action flick is a tour de force of stuntwork and martial arts expertise. He plays Wong Fei-hong, the son of a chinese herbalist who has a propensity for the bottle. Chan pulls out the Drunken Boxing with the sort of physically comedic prowess that's earned him the respect of critics worldwide and is usually compared to classic actors like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Dubbed in English, the dialogue comes off pretty well and the jokes are solid throughout (especially from his mother, played with outrageous energy by Anita Mui). The final fight scene is breathtaking and the outtakes during the credits remind you that Chan does this all himself. If you ever enjoyed an action flick, don't miss this one.

Review: Ok i first want to start by saying i have no ideal why anyone would think this is drunken master 2 second i feel this movie is better any how i mean dont get me wrong DM2 has better camera shots and better dubbing but thats not what were here to see are we Drunken Master is filled with great fighting scenes not as good as the one that took place about half way threw DM2 but like i said it is filled with good fight scenes and thats why we watch now isnt it DM2 has like 4 good fights and 1 is cut short due to jackies stepmom. In my oppion both movies deserve 5 stars but Drunken Master is a better story plus it has Sam Seed in it

Summary: Original Drunken Master
Review: People are complaining because this movie isn't "Legend of Drunken Master," yet this movie is equally good. In fact this movie is the orignal Kung Fu Comedy movie. As existining in a sub-genre of Kung Fu it was one of a kind when it was first released. Its aesthetic appealled to a huge audience. I still regard this movie as a masterpiece.

Summary: Not 'AKA Drunken Master 2'
Review: The others are right. This is NOT Drunken Master II, which was recently in the theaters. This is Drunken Master I, the first one, which has already been out on DVD ... but not with quality this bad.

This is a complete waste of money. Do not buy this DVD. I mean it. The quality of a VHS tape is better than this hunk of garbage.
