Fun Stuff

Trivia:
For many of the more athletic sequences, the 66-year-old Siu Tien Yuen was doubled by his sons, Cheung-Yan Yuen and director Woo-ping Yuen. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: After Won Fei Hung is beaten by Thunderleg and offered Beggar Su some wine, he drops the bowl, and Su catches it. If you slow-mo the DVD, for a split second you can see that the bowl goes past Su's foot, which is coming up to catch it. The film then cuts to a shot where the bowl is on Su's foot. more

Original kung-fu comedy with Jackie Chan at his finest, 30 March 2005
8/10
Author: MichaelB (cream_of_the_wheat@hotmail.com) from Athens, Georgia

All I have to say about this one…just amazing. To think that Jackie Chan has fallen so far from Grace, from this masterpiece to the likes of The Tuxedo, The Medallion, and Around the World in 80 Days. This was one of the first movies to combine slapstick humor with awesome kung-fu, and it does a superb job of it.

This is the story of a young misfit who, instead of being kicked out of his home by his father for his mischief, is sentenced to stay with his great uncle to learn discipline. Upon knowing how notorious this man is, Jackie Chan runs away only to accidentally run into him and learn the ways of the Drunken Master. The combat scenes are very well acted, and this movie includes some funny and terrific dialogue. The final battle scene where Jackie Chan demonstrates what he learned of the Eight Drunken Gods to battle a famed assassin is both humorous and suspenseful. I recommend this movie to lovers of action and comedy alike. 8/10
