Member teako170 Posted December 19, 2007 Member Share Posted December 19, 2007 How does DM3 stack up? Yeah, I know its no comparsion to the other 2 but any good points to this flick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted December 19, 2007 Member Share Posted December 19, 2007 It is HORRIBLE. Don't waste yout time. Adam Cheng has a few nice moments, and so does Andy Lau. Simon Yam actually has my favorite scene in the movie. He plays a gay guy and it the only part of movie where I actually came close to laughing.

Figured with Pops in charge, it might have been worth the time but all I've heard is negative comments over the years. S'ok though, I've only got about a bazillion other films on my "to-watch-list."

Guest Markgway Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Lau Ka-Leung made his masterpiece with Eight-Diagram Pole Fighter and it's been downhill ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 21, 2007 Member Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yeah, he only made the movie just because he was pissed off at Jackie Chan. But it is horrible!!! I just couldn't see Willie Chi as Wong Fei-Hung!!! Why was he even in the movie??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted December 24, 2007 Member Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've never had a chance to watch Drunken Master 3 and never really sought the film out because of all the bad reviews, I just find it hard to believe the fights aren't great with Sifu Lau choreographing.

Member AlbertV Posted December 24, 2007 Member Share Posted December 24, 2007 Well, you know what they say...everyone has a bad day...DM3 must have been LKL's, but at least he would redeem himself with Drunken Monkey. I love that movie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted December 25, 2007 Member Share Posted December 25, 2007 LOTDM the best?! Not in this lifetime, and maybe you may want to view a broader selection of films before you go casting the best all willy nilly. Jackie had a run at one of the best of all time with the original Drunken Master, and later, The Young Master. But Legend? Hell-to-the-no!

Member GhostFaceKiller Posted December 31, 2007 Member Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey the Dragon, I have seen plenty of Gung Fu movies. In fact I own over 200. Just because at that moment when I was watching those scenes I decided that this was the best movie ever, you don't have to get all uppety about it. I watch Gung Fu movies every day and my favorite ever is constantly fluctuating. Don't take it so personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, LOTDM is imo, far from being Jackie's best of all time! Btw, I own over 1000 MA films, care to chat about our lists sometime? My VHS collection alone is over 500 titles... WAATAAHHH!!!!!!!!!

Member peringaten Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think it's Jackie's best. I'll go so far, with semi-vision, as to agree with an abstract notion that it's a/the greatest kung, mid-'80s to the present. And one of the greats of all-time. Masterpiece? Yes.

Member SimonMW Posted January 5, 2008 Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 For me DM2 is the ultimate fusion of modern choreography of traditional kung fu. Nobody has attempted anything on that scale since. And its a real shame. I'd love to see what Donnie Yen could do with traditional kung fu now. I'd love him to make a traditional kung fu film, but choreograph it with the realistic brutal edginess that he has given the kickboxing style of choreography in films like SPL.

Please help me see where this film is so great! Lau Kar Liang left the production because of "creative differences" with Jackie, who btw, refused to keep the focus on the authenticity of the Martial Arts Master Lau was choreographing. This could have been a/the best, but sorry, it ain't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could have been a/the best, but sorry, it ain't! To me, the reason that it didn't feel like the best was because of the fact that it felt like several other Kung Fu movies! It wasn't as original as some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chinatown Kid Posted January 13, 2008 Member Share Posted January 13, 2008 Imo the finale in Drunken Master II features some of Jackie's best fighting ever and I loved the film. You can make an arguement over weather it's his best of all time but I don't see how you can say it's not one of his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yi-Long Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 'Legend of Drunken Master' is crap. Dubbed, rescored, cut, etc. 'Drunken Master 2' (uncut, subbed) is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member greenfan Posted January 14, 2008 Member Share Posted January 14, 2008 For me, at the moment, Drunken Master 2 is the best kung fu movie ever made. The old and new styles blend brilliantly, the action is amazing, the wirework is handled perfectly and the performances are very good. When I watched this on the big screen I gained a new appreciation for the final fight. It is such a crowd pleaser and so brutal, it leaves you feeling very satisfied. The only low point is Jackie's Mong Fei Hung ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ironfistedmonk Posted January 15, 2008 Member Share Posted January 15, 2008 Greenfan knows my opinion on this one, it all went downhill after LKL left the movie. I may need to rewatch the film again as its been a few years but the ending left me feeling very unsatisfied, JC just rehashing his Young Master/Dragon Lord style endings.

Exactly, IFM, I feel the same about that point. If that's the case, how can this possibly be the Greatest of all time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, it just wasn't groundbreaking at all. By the time of this movie's release it'd been done a hundred times before with similar outcomes. But it was still in some ways fresh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
