The drunken style isn't in the movie itself, but there was a mis-translation of the Chinese title which literally means "Laugh Tai Chi." Also the U.S. distributors probably wanted to cash in on the success of Drunken Master. I would still consider it a drunken kung fu movie, if only because of the title. Because of that, it's my fourth favorite drunken movie, behind (in chronological order) Drunken Master, Dance of the Drunken Mantis, and Drunken Master 2.

Member Tex Killer Posted August 29, 2014 Member Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dance of the Drunken Mantis That is my number one. Jackies character is far too cocky I don`t like DM`s, fights are great anyway.. World of drunken masters and story of drunken master are good I think drunken arts and crippled fists was fine too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted August 29, 2014 Member Share Posted August 29, 2014 That is my number one. Jackies character is far too cocky I don`t like DM`s, fights are great anyway.. That's the main reason why I like Snake in the Eagle's Shadow more than DM. You feel more sympathetic for Jackie in SiTES. I do like DM, because it's nice to see how he grows as a character while still wise-cracking his opponents, but I cared more for his character in SiTES and the training scenes are made even more inspirational. My favorite drunken style movie is probably Drunken Master 2, and I'm still deciding if I liked the original DM more than Dance of the Drunken Mantis. Both are great movies in my opinion.

Member NoKUNGFUforYU Posted August 29, 2014 Member Share Posted August 29, 2014 meh, Drunken Master's characters are little more than punks, and his best buddy is a rapist. I really think that the so called Drunken Style is really a true martial art, more of an offspring from possibly Chinese Opera, etc. It looks completely ineffective with the palsied claw, etc. As LKL says in Drunken Master 2, you can't kill with your drunken fist. Funny story. I trained under Phillip Wong (don't worry, I sucked) and he had a bit, just a bit of an ego. Ok, he was a hater. Anyway, he was also really, really good. He hated the fact that Jackie Chan was considered good at Drunken Fist, when Phillip had won Wu Shu trophies in China for his routine. You may not of heard of him, but he trained in Beijing and married Jet Li's teammate. Jet taught some of his students at times, and his ex wife would show up at practice with her incredibly sleazy looking, chain smoking boyfriend. Wu shu, good way to show off and then destroy your back and joints, all while learning a bunch of counter productive martial arts moves. Still, looks pretty, and if you are going to do impractical stuff, might as well be the best impractical stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
