 Simply the best Martial Arts Film ever made May 20, 2000
Louis K. Stevens (Plainfield, NJ: Gilliam's TKD Academy)
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I know some of you will disagree and say that Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", or Jet Li's "Fist of Legend" was the best ever made but I would have to disagree. While Bruce Lee was the best Martial Artist ever, his movies were average in regards to their fight choreography.No one could ever touch him in his films. The fight choreography in "Drunken Master 2" was incredible. It was realistic because there were almost no wire stunts involved and the fight scenes were fantastic. The fight scene with Jackie and Liu Chia Liang (Lau Kar Leung) in the beginning was pure poetry in motion. The final fight scene was fifteen minutes of pure adrenaline pumping action. Unique choreography makes this movie a classic. Unlike Jet Li's characterization of Wong Fei Hung, Jackie makes Fei Hung seem more human and vulnerable. Nobody could ever touch Jet Li in the "Once Upon a Time in China" series. Plus some of the moves just look so ridiculously fake. "Fist of Legend" is Jet's best movie because it isn't as fake and he actually has to fight hard to win. However, it is still only the second best film ever made. Not to criticize any other reviewer, but since when does the ability to do 540's and 720's and Butterfly kicks make a martial art film great? I have been involved in Martial Arts for over a 20 years and would love for someone to try to fight me using those kicks. While they look fancy in forms competition, they mean nothing in a real tournment fight and even less in a real street fight. This film is without a doubt the best Jackie Chan film ever and the best ever made. (At least until Jackie and Jet team up to do a film as has been rumored)

Not only does this movie raise the bar for fighting choreography, but it has so many other facets that make it a movie to be appreciated by movie lovers of all genre's. I won't dwell on the martial arts aspect. There have been plenty of reviews that have addressed the fact that this movie's fight scenes mark the greatest efforts of a martial arts wonder like Jackie Chan. There is no single martial arts talent in the West that can even compare to Hong Kong greats like Jackie. I would prefer to point out that unlike most martial arts pictures ( and unfortunately this includes some of Jackie's too) this picture has a quality story and great characters too. So much so that I have seen people who can't stand martial arts pictures really enjoy this one. Viewers will be amazed by the martial arts ability while they laugh at the antics of Jackie playing the young mischievous Fei Hung and Anita Mui playing his equally mischievous step-mother. This movie truly represents the range of Jackie's acting ability from humor, to penitant, to unbridled anger. All in all, a movie to be appreciated by everyone.
I never saw the Original Drunken Master II January 27, 2001

All I know, is this movie is awesome. I went to see it with my brother who hates Jackie Chan movies, and even he loved it. Its funny, had good acting, and of course is known for the most incredible fight scenes you will EVER SEE in a movie. I don't know anything about the old score, so forgive my ignorance. But I did like the new score, I'm not saying its better cause other might get mad at that, it did make the fight scenes intense and sent shivers up my spine when Jackie did a drunken master pose. This is wicked stuff, no wires, no stunt doubles, nothing else like it in the world. I can't wait for this DVD release, I hope it includes the scene they took out of the theatre release where Jackie is shown at the end to be so drunk and messed up that he collapses. Or so I heard, whether put back or shown as a deleted film I hope it ends up in this package somewhere. So go ahead, buy this movie, and enjoy Jackie at his Ultimate best.
It's a keeper! Rent it. Buy it! March 10, 2002

This film has several formats. The VHS version from 1994 is the one you want to see! It is the perfect movie! It's also Jackie's perfect movie! This is a sequel, with 20 years between but Chan manages to look and act much younger. It is not difficult to accept him as being "young Wong Fei - hung". The only connection between the two films is Jackie and drunken boxing. Ti Lung is his father and Anita Mui is "Mom" (actually Fei - Hung's mother is dead). Anita darn near steals the show! This is a fantastic film! It is a period film, with unscrupulous people stealing as many Chinese treasures a possible. Chan accidentally gets involved in helping to stop the thefts and ends up taking on some major bad guys including Ken Lo in a steel factory. In my opinion the extended fight sequence is the absolute best, with
"Wheels On Meals" fight with Benny coming in a close second.
The final fight has Jackie battling a number of people before he squares off with Ken Lo. (Lo is a major talent in the kickboxing world and stands out as one of the best.) Jackie had some differences of opinion with the director and the final fight is designed by Jackie and it shows! It is powerful yet graceful..furious but with purpose. It is beyond excellent!
This film has something for everyone. In addition to Jackie's excellent fighting there are plenty of laughs, and more intricate plot than with many of his movies. There is a scene with Ti Lung and Chan that is poignant and feels very real. But it is the fight scene in the steel factory that will have you rewinding a dozen times. I have two MAJOR criticisms of the US release,primarily Disney's decision to throw out the the soundtrack and musical score! The music from the original is perfect and part of the whole feel of the film. There never was a valid explanation from Disney as to why they dumped the original score. Jackie dubbed his voice for Fei - hung, but the dialogue is not the same! Some might be attributed to the difficulty in translation but in some scenes the dialouge has been radically changed. Disney also cut out the very end of the movie as they felt it was offensive. But that leads to an abrupt end to the film. I have no problem with cutting that scene though and it does not change the film.
One of my all time favorite movies! This one should not be missed!
A Masterpiece of Kung-Fu April 19, 2003

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Hailed by many as the greatest Kung-Fu film ever to grace the jade screen, this sequal makes its mark twice in Asian cinema history. First, The Legend of Drunken Master (Drunken Master II) is the sequal to the most important Kung-Fu comedy of all time, the original Drunken Master. Secondly, this film sees Jackie Chan returning to the Period Kung-Fu movie, a genre that he has kind of "ignored" for a little bit more than a decade. Clearly, this film has found its place in history.Now I'm sure many of you already know the premise by now, so I won't bother describing it for all of you (if you haven't seen this movie by now, shame on you!) The original title of this movie is Drunken Master II and was made in 1994. Disney then picked up the North American distribution rights (Disney...why Disney?!?) and re-released it here as The Legend of Drunken Master, complete with English dubbing and a new soundtrack, although the usual hack job surprisingly hasn't been done here. Jackie returns to his role as a trouble-making version of Wong Fei-Hung, a role that he excels at with his very expressive face. All of the actors are very good, especially Anita Mui and Ti Lung, who both play the role of Jackie's parents. The story is simple and easy to follow, and all of the fantastic fight scenes are all placed logically within the story itself. The action is second to none here, with Jackie and others using various styles of Kung-Fu. But the real selling point here is the incredible final battle between Jackie and his real-life bodyguard Kenneth Lo. This fight took three months to make, and the result is truly breathtaking. The DVD is quite good, I suppose, for a Disney-released Martial Arts film. The picture quality is really good compared to some of the overseas releases of the original movie. The soundtrack is totally changed, but its not bad at all, although it and the sound effects lack the "punch" of the original. Extras include 12 trailers for various Disney Martial Art re-releases, but for some reason The Legend of Drunken Master trailer isn't one of them. The DVD also includes a short interview with Jackie Chan himself about the movie. Nothing special here. The Legend of Drunken Master is a masterpiece, no matter how its packaged or titled. If you can get your hands on the original Cantonese version, then don't hesitate to pick it up. But if you're like me and stuck with buying these inferior North American versions, then by all means pick this one up too.
