Drunken Master

It was a good movie to watch and sometimes movies can tech you things what you don't know and what you see is what you shouldn't know is not aways there

This is arguably the BEST film of jackie Chan's career. while Jackies' death defying stunts came abit later to try to top the spectacular original kung fu of the early films like this one, the kung fu scenes are immaculately choreographed and photographed. the camera shots are of the typical energetic kung fu cinema style, with the high speed zoom-out-to action and so on. the characters are all wonderfully portrayed, each with its own colourful personality and background.Even the english dubbing in this film is excellently done-how many times have you seen a kung fu film with poor dubbing by voice actors who sound like theyre reading the script for the first time as the movie plays? This film offers the best in english dubbing, with true-to-character voices and translation, which makes the film all the more exciting to watch. the story is simple but amusing. chinese folk hero Wong Fei hung is a rebellious teenager causing mischeif about town. in the english version, his nicknamed "freddy"(lol). freddy's father has tried several times to discipline him, but to no avail. eventually he calls upon great uncle So Hai for help. So Hei is an aged little drunkard but he is notortious across the land for his formidable kung fu-"the secrets of the eight drunken gods." initially freddy finds So Hei's gruelling methods and drills too much and runs away. he meets Thunderleg, a local assassin who is renowned for his incredible kicking style of kung fu. bullied and utterly humiliated by him, freddy runs back to So Hei, angered and invigorated to learn his "secret style", drunken kung fu. after a bad deal over local real estate, Thunderleg is employed to kill freddy's father. freddy finds them just in time and promises to make amends with his father and protect him from the evil Thunderleg as So Hei watches from a distance, confident freddy will not need his help. But has freddy mastered the Secrets of the 8 Drunken Gods?hilarious humor and splendidly witty kung fu sequences bring you to a thrillingly spectacular show down ending in what is often reffered to as Jackie Chans' finest film ever!!

the film itself is astounding. young jackie chan’s prowess working with his kung fu brothers and a teacher of theirs; the showcase of the comedic fight scenes; it’s everything you could want it to be; basically a superhero movie without tye computersi don’t know how many vhs copies i’ve had of this over the years, but audio was always questionable, small scenes would be in some but not others (like how the first half of the ropes-and-barrels punishment had about a 30% chance of being i cluded), and the transfer was almost without exception going to have a few rough partsthis has, i think, every scene in its entirety, and the highest quality transfer i’ve yet seen. highly recommend this as a great version of the utterly classic film

This is a certified Jackie Chan classic and I can confirm it works in US blu-ray players. I tried it in my Philips 4k player that bulks at region free discs & it played this film perfectly. I own a region free Blu-Ray player but always try it in the player that usually can't play them 1st just to see if it will work. And to any other Kung Fu fans out there noticing that a lot of the best release always seem to be for region B remember the playstation, xbox, & your PC Blu-Ray drive will play any region Blu-Ray. As a side note this is the best release of Druken Master ever but if your a Jackie Chan fan your probably aware of that. It comes with a nice booklet & special feature. The audio & video are perfect. Again another 4k transfer without a 4k release. Hopefully one day companies will realize that collectors are the ones still buying physical media & we want it in the best quality possible but until than this is a great disc.
