Jackie Chan's best

I love Jackie Chan and ALMOST all of his movies but the original Drunken master movie did nothing but dissapoint me. As for this one though, I was EXTREMELY impressed, I personally feel this is Jackie Chan's number one movie in that it shows you his real skill and what he can actually do. As opposed to most of his other movies where white people with guns try to kill him all the time, this one he actually fights using multiple styles and it was simply amazing. One of the best fight films possibly ever made.

Jackie's the man

Every martial arts fan accepts that Jackie Chan is pretty amazing, so most reviews on his movies amount to opinions on plot and acting levels, and in the case of the Legend of Drunken Master it has to be said that this is one of the best. You want to pick a JC movie that you haven't seen and want not to be disappointed in any way? Get this one!

Jackie Chan is this generations Buster Keaton. One of the best action films ever made

I say one of the best action films ever made because like Buster Keaton, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, Jackie Chan is actually doing this stuff himself. The Legend Of Drunken Master or Drunken Master 2 is a non stop action movie and a comedy along the same lines as Buster Keaton's classic [[ASIN:6305609969 The General]].
The part where Jackie Chan falls into a pit of hot coals, that is all real, Jackie actually had that sequence filmed three times, on the third time burning his arms and still having those scars today. All that and he played this part at 40 yrs old, pulling off a role of a 20 yr old convincingly.
Another film i enjoyed that was influenced a great deal by Drunken Master 2 was [[ASIN:B0009S4IHY Kung Fu Hustle (Widescreen Edition)]]even naming the gang in it the "axe gang".
The Legend of Drunken Master is a must for any fan of action movies. It made Entertainment Weekly's top 25 action movies list and also is on Time Magazine's top 100 movies of all time.
