Asian Movie Pulse

“Drunken Master 2” is a truly great film, one of the best in Jackie Chan’s humongous filmography, and a movie that truly transcends the genre due to its context, without neglecting, of course, the action part.

Rated: 7/10

A Must-Watch for Martial Arts Enthusiasts: The Excitement of Drunken Master The film beautifully balances the internal conflict faced by Wong Fei-Hung as he grapples with the dilemma of honoring his pacifist father's wishes while confronting a group of disrespectful foreigners attempting to steal precious treasures. Jackie Chan's portrayal of the legendary "Drunken Fist" master, Huang Fei-hung, is both charismatic and awe-inspiring, showcasing his exceptional martial arts skills. The action sequences in The Legend of Drunken Master are truly remarkable, choreographed with precision and creativity. Jackie Chan's unique blend of acrobatics, comedy, and fighting techniques adds a layer of excitement and entertainment that sets this film apart. Each fight scene is a spectacle to behold, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats and craving for more. Beyond the thrilling action, Drunken Master also addresses political chaos and the struggle for national pride during a time of transition in China. The film effectively portrays the clash between Chinese values and the influence of unscrupulous foreign powers, highlighting the courage and determination needed to protect one's heritage. In conclusion, Drunken Master deserves its high praise and rating of 9 out of 10. Jackie Chan's outstanding performance, combined with expertly choreographed fight sequences and a compelling storyline, make this martial arts blockbuster a must-watch for fans of the genre. It successfully captures the spirit of a tumultuous era while delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Jackie Chan's crippling alcoholic fighting style is back and better than ever. A fundamentally different beast from the original, Drunken Master II is quite simply amazing, housing some of the most intricate, difficult and joyfully executed action sequences you'll ever see. But it needed more Andy Lau outside of his extremely brief cameo...
