The intro is fantastic even if the names of the credits almost totally hide the fight behind.

Story is interesting if you manage to turn off your brain from time to time just to enjoy amazing battle choregraphies, because at some point this movie is all about watching Jackie Chan wandering and getting into trouble as fast as you could shout 'action!' and learning to get drunk. He also tries to be funny, and sometimes succeeds, but often fails. Some characters are just cliché. The pace is really weird as the fluidity varies a lot throughout the movie. It can seem really jerky at times. And the ending is rather very slow to reach.

In what concerns soundtrack and sound effects well, it is really disappointing. Battles contain really cheap sound effects and no music at all. Because we only have music during chase scenes or -supposed- funny ones. Some scenes are honestly dumb. Some others are just crazy like the one with the man fighting with his head only. I guess it is another generation. How can you have such haircuts otherwise anyway?

'Drunken Master' is perfect for you if you just want to see Chan's amazing performances, impressive moves and work. Just don't expect much from it and especially not from the ending (no spoil) which appears to be particularly unrewarding.… Expand
