About this movie

The Original Kung Fu Comedy! Won Fei Hung (Jackie Chan) stars as the mischievous young son of a martial arts school master who is constantly clowning around when he should be learning kung fu. After his comic antics injure the son of a powerful local man, his father enlists the help of his sadistic uncle to teach his son a little self-discipline. This strange man, who has a reputation for crippling his students, tries to teach Fei Hung a bizarre style of kung fu. At first, Fei Hung resists, but after losing a fight with a local assassin who has been hired to kill his father, he realizes he must master the special art of the "Drunken Boxer." DRUNKEN MASTER was the second collaboration between director Yuen Wo Ping (fight choreographer for The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Jackie Chan. Blending intricate martial arts moves with Jackie Chan's trademark slapstick comedy, DRUNKEN MASTER ushered in the new genre of kung fu comedy and established Chan as its uncontested king. © 1978, 1985 Seasonal Film Corporation.

Ratings and reviews

1 of the best, all time great kung-fu movies. As a kid, we enjoyed these movies. Today, the films are nowhere near as good as those

Jackie's first starring role, and a classic kung fu movie that you must watch...

I wish Project A, Armour of God, Police Story and other earlier masterpieces of Jackie chan is made available one day.
