The HKR release is excellent and contains the Rank VHS dub and shitloads of extras. It’s my go-to, although I must say I prefer the later (early ‘80s?) dub myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SamSeed Posted November 6, 2020 Member Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sorry to ressurect an old thread but in the intervening years has the Drunken Master with the original dub popped up anywhere? I never did manage to get hold of it and I no longer have any way of playing my well worn VHS! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SamSeed Posted October 20, 2021 Member Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but has anybody here got the Blu Ray from this website? They claim to have the impossible to find original VHS dub, are they a legit company? Has anybody tried it? They have a digital version for half the price. https://www.hongkongrescue.com/products/5-drunken-master-hkr-definitive-edition-blu-ray?variant=36610019491996 So I bought the digital version, but it turns out to be way more complex than I'm used to. You need to download new programs to download the files. I got a sheet with all the info. If I sent that to somebody more tech minded than I, would they be willing to have a go at downloading it and getting just a simple, easy to view video file with the original English Dub (assuming it's legit of course!)

Sadly not hope 88 films get the rights and release this with the proper original old dub intact and with @KUNG FU BOB's artwork it would be an epic release 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if he or any of the other voice actors were used for dubbing in any other films, like Dance of the Drunk Mantis, which I haven't seen yet but I will do soon, I hope it's good! It does sound like the same voice actors were used in both Drunken Master and Dance of the Drunk Mantis. I'm really struggling to tell who dubbed Yuen Siu Tin, but my guess would be Rik Thomas in Drunken Master and Warren Rooke in Dance of the Drunk Mantis. I'm almost certain that the father in Drunken Master was dubbed by Ted Thomas. On 4/23/2020 at 9:52 AM, Iron Head Rat said: I saw this for the first time early 80's on VHS in the UK & loved the dub.

In the original English dub it's Freddy (Jackie Chan), Sam Seed (Yuen Siu Tin) and Thunderfoot (Hwang Jang Lee). In the newer dub it's Freddy (Jackie Chan), So High (Yuen Siu Tin) and Thunderleg (Hwang Jang Lee). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member WaverBoy Posted October 23, 2021 Member Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’ve heard both dubs and prefer the voices on the newer(?) dub to the Rank VHS dub. (How much newer is that dub? It certainly sounds extremely vintage to me!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each person's preference often depends on which dub they first experienced the film with. When you see DRUNKEN MASTER (or any classic kung fu) for the first time you are getting your mind blown, so whichever dub you are hearing becomes a part of that excitement for you. I'm guessing, but it seems likely that the two English dubs were both produced around the same time the film was being released internationally, so yeah, they're both "vintage". I haven't listened to that other dub in what seems like forever, but there's also a chance that Columbia/Tristar produced a new dub for it's DVD release. I don't know if 88 Films will get a chance to work their magic on this film, but if they do... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times I watched that MIHK VHS. I will track down that dub and burn it to a DVD one day. Even if I have to get another copy of that VHS and figure out how to pull the audio or something, unless somebody here has already done that! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted February 1, 2023 Member Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) On 5/4/2008 at 12:08 PM, Killer Meteor said: Does anyone recall hearing the second dub anytime prior to its appearence on the HKL DVD (and later the Columbia) It sounds fairly old, and some of the voices recall the old Project A dub. But on the other hand, Charlie Wei (Yuen Shun-yi) appears to be dubbed by Burt Kuwork! I've been looking (and listening) into it, and it seems to me that the group/team that did the old Project A dub, probably did the 2nd dub for Drunken Master as well. That actually includes Burt Kwouk, it sounds to me like he dubbed the voice for Kwan Hoi San (as Captain Chi) in Project A. According to this https://men-behind-the-dubs.fandom.com/wiki/Jackie_Chan: Quote Daniel Flynn often dubbed Jackie Chan. He must have been with that Project A group. Now Daniel Flynn seems to have started acting in 1983 (aged around 21 or 22) and Police Story 3 seems to be the last Jackie Chan movie he dubbed somewhere around 1992-1995? So maybe The 2nd Drunken Master was done sometime around 1983-1995? On the MIA/Imperial VHS of Police Story 3: Super Cop, I think it said something like English dialogue recorded by Cine Media in London, England. Because those Jackie Chan movie with Daniel Flynn dubs seem to have been done in the UK it makes me wonder if there's missing dubs recorded in HK for the likes of Project A? After all that was the usual practice before export. Edited February 1, 2023 by Omni Dragon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
