    This is legitimately the greatest martial arts movie ever made. It’s not my favorite. I have my favorite. It’s Fist of Legend. But Drunken Master 2 is a perfect film in its own right that also has the greatest stunt work you’ve ever seen in it.

    Between Red Cliff (2008), Drunken Master II (1994), and In the Mood for Love (2000), guess which movie uses an English title in Japan?

    long ago the great Roger Ebert reviewed Jackie Chan's "Legend of Drunken Master" and harshly criticized its R rating, saying its violence was more like kids' cartoons than brutal action films, finally stating "to rate this movie R is to be terminally clueless" anyway this post is about #Balatro

    Haven't been able to catch up on everything yet but I just want to remind people that The Legend of Drunken Master and Drunken Master II are the same movie! I've seen a few people draw the distinction while talking about DM1 but in most cases, Drunken Master 2 is the one people are talking about.

    How Jackie Chan Filmed the Best Fight Scene in Cinema History. The first two DVDs I ever bought (before I even owned a DVD player, I had to rent one from my local Blockbuster) were _Das Boot_ and _Drunken Master 2_. I think I'll rewatch DM2 before I watch this video.

    14. The Drunken Master (movie, 1978) Some of the most fun I've ever had watching a movie. Every single movement, be it comedic, actiony, or mundane, is meticulously planned and choreographed to be as awesome - and as funny - as possible. The craft that went into it genuinely blew me away.

  • Anne M. Carpenter @catholickungfu.bsky.socialBluesky · Nov 3, 2025

    This was Jackie Chan's breakout movie. His fame would eventually let him make Police Story (1985), which is my favorite movie of his. Drunken Master has an interesting relationship to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon (1972). Lee's shadow looms over all of HK cinema through the 70s. And for good reason.

    I've been stuck at home this past week and so powered through a bunch of movies! I cannot believe it took me so long to watch classic Jackie Chan. Started with Police Story, then Wheels on Meals and finally Drunken Master. All of them were great in their own ways, but so far Drunken Master has been the chef's kiss. Also watched Brigadoon, lovely colourful 1950s musical with Gene Kelly. It's not the best of his/that era but it was sa good time.
