Drunken Master 2

Seller shipped right away and product as described, great job!

When I heard that one of the Drunken Master movies was going to be in theaters, my friend and I rushed down to the cinema to watch it. This is actually "Drunken Master II", and it is jam-packed with great action and comedy. I don't think you've seen Jackie at his best until you see that last fight scene.If I remember correctly, this originally came out in 1994, and was a sequel to the 1979 "Drunken Master". It features a redone dubbing that is probably better than the original dubbing available. Jackie Chan did his own voice, if I recall. My one complaint is that this version probably will not feature a subtitled edition (with the original Chinese audio), and the company that did release a subtitled version no longer holds the rights to release it. It is a shame that so many great Asian films are not available in their original, uncut format. Nevertheless, this is still a great film, and a must for any Jackie Chan, Hong Kong cinema, or action fan.

Great

All I have to say is, if you grew up watching the dubbed version where Jackie does his own voice-over... this is what you're looking for! The voice acting is goofy at times (in a good way) but classic. I will cherish this forever

good movie arrived on time and in great condition

Viewing....love this movie. Surprised it was on bluray. Very happy with what I received.

its good, i just wish that the language was in chinese. as it truly was but other than that its great

If you’re a Jackie Chan fan, you’ll love this film. I think it’s one of his best. His action scenes are nothing less than stellar.

This movie was re- released in 2000. The real title of this movie was called Drunken Master 2 and it was released in 1994. This movie has plenty of action and the martial arts choreography is amazing! It is also a funny movie. It is not in Chinese and it is dubbed in English. The Blu ray has audio in Spanish and French and the Blu ray has subtitles in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I highly recommend this Blu ray if you like Jackie Chan movies, if you like martial arts movies, if you like action movies, and if you like comedy!

I don’t really do reviews but I just wanted to say that this film was shipped to me all the way fromHong Kong and it was immaculate. I regularly receive films from US manufacturers that are badly damaged, so the fact that this was shipped from out of country made the issue apparent: US manufacturers don’t care about their products. Apparently Hong Kong does. Absolutely recommend, 100%.

This was the first movie of “The Legend of the Drunken Master.” series. It wasn’t the movie I saw when I was in China. It was the “SECONDS” movie that I saw.Couldn’t figured it out cause the title of the movie was in Chinese and I don’t read Chinese.So, since I purchase this first movieI will evaluate it and compare it with the second movie in the series.The first movie, the story was bad, the acting was terrible , and the action was okay at best. (you’ll know a Kung Fu film is bad is when they have to use sound effect when they are doing their Kung Fu fighting scenes. A lot of: “Huh”, “Ha” and a whole lot of “I ya” or was it: “I yya?The cinema photography is bad, the angle on some of the fighting scene looks bizarre in some of action scene, the acting is somewhat funnily bad, the story line wasn't very good, the quality of the film transfers to DVD looks terrible, so, terrible plus, terrible, plus bad equals a terrible movieThis wasn’t Jack Chan best performances but then, we are talking about one of his earlier performance. He has improved as he went along.The second “Drunken Master” (which was done later) is a much better film over all. The story is better, their Kung Fu action is better and much funnier, and the cinema photography is more professional looking.So, I would skip this first movie and purchased the second series of the “Drunken Master”. It’s a better movie.

I absolutely love this movie. Use to be able to watch in on my dvr before the hard drive went bad. Aside from that I figured I couldn't live without one of my favorite kung-fu movies, so I bought this dvd. It's a legendary classic that includes some amazing cast from the days of the Shaw Brothers including Lung Ti (awesome in the Sentimental Swordsman movies & others like Shaolin Prince & Avenging Eagle) and Chia-Liang Liu (who did a lot of fight choreography with Shaw Bros films; amazing in Mad Monkey Kung Fu). Other amazing cast members in the film like Andy Lau & Ho-Sung Pak. There is at times intense drama, but also a lot of comedy in the film that you wish that Sammo Hung could have been in the this film. When Jackie's character gets drunk his character gets to kick butt fighting. I never get bored of this film as it is enjoyable throughout and his young step-mother (played by Anita Mui) is always trying to lie and cover for him with this dad (Lung Ti). If you love martial arts classics this is the ultimate one to see.The mixup with the film all starts when Jackie's character thinks he bringing home medicine link ginseng for his dad's shop, but instead winds up with a chinese artifact that foreigners are trying to get their hands on. Jackie who loves to fight in this movie is dealt harshly with his dad who is against any kind of fighting.

One day I was perusing Netflix, and saw "Drunken Master 2". It was a Jackie Chan title that I had never watched before, and decided "Ah, why not?", and put it on. Little did I know that it would go on to become my favorite Jackie Chan movie, much less my favorite Kung Fu movie of all time.The movie starts with a simple premise of missing Ginseng, and ends with one of the best fight scenes I have ever seen, deciding the outcome of the future generations of Chinese culture. I am not good with reviews, and I am not good with a critical breakdown of such an amazing film. Just know that I wrote this review to state, if you are looking for the English version of this movie with Jackie Chan dubbing himself and that awesome music, you came to the right place. I have watched it about a dozen times since my purchase and plan to watch it many more times.Its Blue-Ray, excellent quality, and exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

There have been so many great Martial Arts films in the last decade, one would think The Legend of Drunken Master would fall into obscurity. However, watching this film from 1994 again recently, I am still amazed at how well it holds up.There are a dozen or so films from Hong Kong about the legend of the drunken fist that have made it Stateside in the last 5-10 yrs & some are really good, high budget films. However, the final 15m or so of this film is so well choreographed, it could hit theatres tomorrow and easily hold its own against a contemporary Martial Arts film. The Legend of Drunken Master is truly a classic.

I don't know what the message is, this whole drinking and fighting thing that occurs in at least two of the greatest movies that I've ever seen, the other being Drunken Master (the first, this one being 'The Legend Of Drunken Master' and filmed much later), but I love the cinematic results. The action is so quick in this flick that your eyes will sweat. Yep, it's the same old story of a guy who means well, but keeps getting further into trouble and has to fight his way out. Something like that, but better, faster, and funnier than it had to be. A must-have, for me.

I love Jackie Chan and the Drunken Master movies. I originally saw Drunken Master II a few years prior to its American re-release as Legend of the Drunken Master (the version I saw was released by Tai Seng, I believe) and when I watched Legend in the theater, I couldn't understand why they cut the very end of the movie out. There was a whole scene afterward where Jackie has gone cuckoo from drinking the industrial alcohol. It was pretty much Jackie clowning around, but, when I finally wanted to buy the movie for my collection, all I could find was the edited, Americanized Legend of Drunken Master. This release is the original Drunken Master II and this DVD, while not as high quality as the Legend DVD, is still very good. A must for Chan fans.

The cover shown is not the cover of the movie. It is not true wide screen, being first cropped to standard and then letter-boxed to 4:3--still below the dimensions of the original, with some action occurring off-screen, The resolution is slightly below VHS quality. English is translated in Chinese Syntax with frequent misspellings. Still, I am happy to have the complete version--the American revision cuts off the ending. I consider this to be the most tightly choreographed movie Jackie Chan ever produced, and the glitchy translation preserves the hilarious dialogue of Anita Mui (RIP), who owns her role. I simply wish the transfer was as advertised.

its a great and funny movie over all the video is good but not stunning but its cheap and really its worth the 10$ or so but the menu sucks i dint like it at all and there isn't really any extras, there is just about 7min of Jakie Chan talking about the making of the movie which is good but that is itif your a fan of Jakie Chan i would say get it but don't expect to be blown away by its detail and its dull menu also the audio is English 5.1 french 5.1 and Spanish 2.0 also the extra is 480i not "blue ray".

THE LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN MASTERAs any one who has read my review of the first film by Jackie Chan called "Drunken Master" can tell you I am a huge fan of that film. Which by the way that first film has a lot to do with an earlier film starring Jackie by the same cast and crew called "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow", just check it out. So it goes with out saying that I love this one as well. Jackie Chan has and will always be a king of these kinds of films; you know great martial arts action mixed with that comedic style. Like the first film this is excellent in both departments.Chan reprises his role as real Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung as he is on his way home when he mixes up a box he had with one identical. The thing that is in that box is a very valuable piece of Chinese artifacts, in fact he unwittingly gets mixed up with those wanting to steal even more. So as these British criminals try to recover what they lost to him Wong Fei must do battle with them using a martial arts style his father disapproves of. That style of course is Zui Quan (Drunken Fist/Drunken Boxing) and his dad disapproves because he must get drunk to fully utilize his skills here, but he fears his son will not know when to stop drinking.Jackie Chan is in top form here and looks just as good here as he did in the first film which was something like 16 years prior. So that makes it even more impressive especially after you see the action in this film. Which I must say is top notch and not only amazing but also very funny at times. The film is directed by Lau Kar-Leung [Liu Chia-Liang] who also directed one of my favorite films of all time "36th Chamber of Shaolin" as well as its two sequels along with "My Young Auntie" among others. You may also know him as martial arts choreographer to films such as "The One-Armed Swordsmen" films as well as "Master of the Flying Guillotine", "Seven Swords" and many others, and has acted in countless films as well. So this film was staked with all kinds of talent like the two mentioned above as well as people like Lung Ti who played Chan's father and Anita Mui who was his step mother.This film in my opinion like the first film is a classic and they both rank very high amongst every one I know. If I had to choose which I thought I liked more I would not be sure. I may have to go with the first film but only by a little and even then I am not sure. Both films are classics and worth any one's time, I say go pick up both right away. Instant watching [you know what I mean] and rentals are cool but there is nothing like owning the classics baby.

For tens and tens of Jackie Chan movies I have watched, I feel confident that this is his best fighting movie. I say that because there are some detractors from making this his best movie ever, but if you find yourself liking kung Fu movies in general besides just Jackie Chan movies, this will be your favorite.This movie is a huge improvement on the original Drunken Master movie. While this is still a dubbed movie it definitely has a more international appeal. Also like the original Jackie pummels his enemies using his drunken boxing technique (which as it implies is a technique improved by vast qualities of alcohol, so it may not be a great movie for children). In this movie Jackie has to battle pilferers of Chinese heritage and his father's disapproval, beside the countless nameless enemies. As i have already said this movie has Jackie's best fight scenes collectively both in quantity, he fights for a large portion of the movie, and quality. However, any Jackie aficionado will feel it lacks his signature death defying stunts, and while it is filled with humor; subjectively it doesn't feel as funny or his character as likable as some of his other movies.Bottom line is that you will love this movie. It's great. I don't usually watch kung fu movies unless they are Jackie Chan movies and in my opinion it ranks up there in Jackie's best movies.

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

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

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.
