Audience Member At once a prequel and sequel to the movie that made Jackie Chan a star — Drunken Master — this film focuses on Beggar Su (Simon Yuen) and his friend Fan Ta-Pei. It's like showing up for a Star Wars sequel and having it be all about Han and Chewbacca and man, isn't that what you really wanted? Our heroes have been mysteriously asked to meet one another and begin drinking to no surprise and remembering their teenage past together. Despite stealing grapes, they begin to work for a winemaker named Chang Chi who is a secret master of martial arts. They beg him to train them, they both fall for the same woman and their defense of innocents using their new Drunken Boxing abilities leads to the evil Tiger Yeh coming to attack their master. This explains how they drifted apart and why they've been brought back together. Look, it's no Drunken Master. But hey — the fights are nearly the same. That doesn't mean that it isn't entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 74% Nonstop, wireless kung fu action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Another grandious Kung-Fu Movie from the Master Joseph Kuo it combines a Vengeance Story which play in several Time Schemes with High Skilled Martial Arts and Comedy and shows beautiful Pictures of the Chinese Landscape and have the typical Joseph Kuo Sound Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is exactly how martial arts movies should be. Admittedly, the dubbed version is classically awful with a range of bizarre accents, but the action is relentless. The story itself is standard fare, but it's written well enough that it doesn't impact any negativity. The dialogue is hysterical in places, and the score is what you'd expect. You always know when something is going to kick off because of the music. Ignore the other review for this film, the writer has clearly gotten himself in a muddle and chosen teh wrong title to review, as this is not he Jackie Chan movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member easily one of the best kung-fu movies ever made. jackie chan is on top of his game in this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Cool fighting movie of Jackie Chan. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
