Audience Member The sound effects were terrible and the subbing was hilariously bad. The story made little sense and was very random but the action sequences were pretty great. This was quite a weird kung fu movie but thoroughly entertaining! Quirky kung-fu comedy. An hour and a half sure felt long though!

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This entry in the flixter database assumes that Drunken Arts Crippled Fist is the same as Drunken Wutang. Drunken Arts Crippled Fist: 3.5 Stars This is not Drunken Wutang. This isn't anything like that film, except for the drunken taoist character. This film is from 1979, directed by Tong Dik, and is somewhat similar to "Drunken Master" in terms of plot, and features the original drunken master, Simon Yuen/Siu Tien Yuen. There's not very much drunken style fighting (nor any explanation as to why or how the main character, Li I Min, came to learn the style - it's assumed his master, Sam the Seed/Beggar So, taught it to him at some point but the film doesn't ever touch on it with as much depth or emphasis as in Drunken Master). There is, however, a fair amount of crippled fist fighting, which is almost as fun to watch. Drunken Wutang: 4.5 Stars 1983/4's Drunken Wutang is a personal favorite. Really zany with lots of slapstick. In this film, Cheung-Yan Yuen, son of Simon Yuen, plays a more ratlike-version of the drunkard, as in, the teeth stick out really far and he gets around via ratlike transportation. There's a man called Granny, a watermelon monster, a man called old devil who takes a palms-down ride on an acid slide, and a small rat-shaped one-man basket car in which the ratlike drunken master gets around. There's strangeness with the drunken master searching for a cherry boy, which entails looking down the pants of a long line of pre-pubescent boys. Princesses, seances, silly chases and impossible obstacles. Random fights break out all the time with no explanation or context, with lots of jump cuts and flying wires, balls, and screams. Definitely a unique experience. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member First off, this is not the plot, don't know what that is, but this has to be the film because there are no others with the title. Anyway, I've watched this 4 times and it never stops being funny. Not for anybody, but great for some. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
