Product Description Jackie Chan stars as the mischievous young son of a martial arts school master who is sent to his sadistic uncle for discipline training in this comedy kung fu classic. desertcart.com Though it wasn't Jackie Chan's first film, Drunken Master is the film that cemented his stardom. Jackie plays the rebellious son of a kung fu master. To teach Jackie the value of discipline, his father apprentices him to another master named So Hi, who has a unique "drunken" fighting style. Jackie chafes at So Hi's rigorous exercises and runs away--only to be brutally humiliated at the hands of a hired killer named Thunderleg. Chastened, Jackie becomes So Hi's devoted student. He soon discovers he will need everything he's learned when Thunderleg is hired to kill his father. In Drunken Master, Jackie is only beginning to cultivate his mixture of action and comedy; here the emphasis is on kung fu acrobatics. But the kung fu is astounding. The final fight is dizzying and amazingly choreographed by director Yuen Woo-ping (now famous as the fight choreographer for The Matrix). --Bret Fetzer P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Set Contains: Some gaps in the original Chinese-language track have been filled by an English-language track.

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?

about as good as it gets
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 computers i 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 parts this 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

Confirmed working in USA Blu-Ray player
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.

Waited so many years for this version!
So excited to know this existed and bought it. When it arrived and I popped in the BR, I was amazed at not only the quality but how this version made available the original dub, subtitles, plus missing scenes (AND extras). I’ve been waiting for this for pretty much 20 years - I’ve owned the old VHS copies throughout the years and this one brought back so many memories. One of Jackie’s best and in super clean quality. Feels so nostalgic watching this over and over, especially sharing this experience with my own kids. Really is a Special Edition! Happy the vendor contacted me to confirm BR region playback before I bought it as well. A+++

Wie Jacky Chan mal selbst in einem Interview sagte, hatte er es leid ständig als neuer Bruce Lee angepriesen zu werden. So musste er sich mit einer anderen, seiner eigenen Art davon irgendwie distanzieren! Wie sprach ein weiser Mann? „Wenn Bruce Lee der König des Kung Fu ist, dann ist Jacky Chan der Hofnarr!“ Das war wohl eher lieb und nett von ihm gemeint, denn der „Hofnarr“ hat mächtig was auf dem Kasten! Nach Bruce Lee hat kein anderer wie er, die Welt der Eastern-Filme nicht nur geprägt, sondern revolutioniert. Nach seinem Auftauchen war nichts mehr wie zuvor. Er setzte mit seiner Art vollkommen neue Maßstäbe. Humor, Witz, seine einmalige Mimik. Seine Austrahlung auf der Leinwand, sein akrobatisches Können, das alles macht ihn einzigartig. Bei ihm merkt man, dass er nicht Kampfkunst betreibt, er lebt sie. Es gibt da so nen blöden Spruch:“Niemand ist unersetzlich!“ Falsch, nimmt man ihn aus den Filmen raus, dann sind sie so gut wie tot. Er schafft diese Gratwanderung perfekt in seinen Filmen. Der Meister der Kampfkunst und gleichzeitig der Meister aller Peinlichkeiten. Die Fettnäpfchen in die er tritt, die müssen andere erst mal finden. Gerade das macht ihn so sympathisch, damit können sich viele identifizieren. Hier in diesem Film das Paradebeispiel einer tragisch-komischen Figur. Mit seinen Kumpels macht er ein Mädel an, bekommt dann von der Mutter mächtig was auf die Glocke. Daraufhin rettet er jemand anders aus einer misslichen Lage. Später stellt sich dann raus, dass die Mutter, die ihn verprügelte seine Tante ist. Also gibt es Stress mit seinem Vater, gewaltig sogar. Sogar seine gute Tat wird ihm zur Last gelegt. Sein Vater will ihn sogar erschlagen, weil er ein Monster ist. Dank seiner Tante darf er weiterhin Sauerstoff verbrauchen auf dieser Welt. Doch Strafe muss sein. Wenn schon Strafe, dann richtige Strafe. In den Fängen eines alten, versoffenen, verdreckten, verlausten Zausel, der eine sadistische Ader hat zu geraten, das ist schon die Höchststrafe. Der (auch sein Onkel) bringt ihm bei wie man kämpft, sich benimmt, Wasser schöpft. Wein holt und wie ein Mann richtig säuft. Genial und zum weglachen, die Gestik und Mimik von Jacky Chan beim Training. Der Stil der Göttin Ho.....boaaaaaah :-))))) Auch interessant zu sehen, dass der alte Zausel ohne Sprit als Kämpfer so ziemlich ab stinkt. Der Suff gibt ihm die Kraft. In dem Film, da passt einfach alles. Auch die musikalische Untermalung, besser geht es nicht mehr. Won Fei Hung (Jacky Chan) kann einem richtig leid tun obwohl er so manche Abreibung wirklich verdient hat. Dieser Won vermittelt den Anschein, dass er nix auf die Reihe bringt. Also der totale Versager schlechthin. Auch beim Training versucht er ständig zu schummeln und jedes mal wird es entdeckt und er steckt noch tiefer in der Sch.....adenskrise. Erst die Abreibung von Donnerfaust bringt ihn auf die richtige Schiene. Diese Demütigung bringt ihn zur Besinnung und treibt ihn zur Höchstleistung. Dann nach einem Jahr wird er aus der Trainingshaft entlassen. Nix wegen guter Führung, vorzeitig und so. Sondern weil er fertig ist (nicht soooo) mit der Ausbildung und es irgendwie überlebt hat. Zeit zum Luftholen bleibt einem da nicht, denn es geht sofort übergangslos rein ins Finale! Für mich der beste Kung Fu Film aller Zeiten. Mit Herz, Verstand und Humor. Er bringt auch eine glasklare Botschaft rüber. Das es auch ein Loser zu was bringen kann, wenn er nur will. Won schafft es vom großmäuligen Jammerlappen zum Meister. Am Ende ist er der siegreiche Held. Was ihm niemand zugetraut, das hat er geschafft mit Hilfe der 8 versoffenen Göttern, des alten Zausels und seinem unbändigem Willen zu lernen. Wer diesen Film nicht im Regal stehn hat, der ist selber schuld!

Jackie Chan plays a misfit who,instead of being kicked out of his home by his father for his mischief,is sentenced to stay with his great uncle (Sam Seed) to learn discipline.When he finds out how strict he is he runs away only to run into him again.After being soundly thrashed by a fighter called Thunderfoot (Hwang Jang Lee),he realises that he needs to buckle down so that he can improve his kung fu.When someone hires Thunderfoot to kill Chan's father,he's forced to step in to face Thunderfoot in a final confrontation!Drunken Master contains arguably Jackie Chan's best ever choreography with many intricately constructed battles.The whole cast are great and we get to experience Chan's comic timing at its best.Alot has been said about the poor quality DVDs available,here's my take.On April 24,2000,Hong Kong Legends released a DVD in the UK.The image is cropped from 2.35:1 to 1.78:1 and has the Mandarin soundtrack with dubtitles.On April 2,2002 Columbia Pictures released a DVD in the US.Despite a 2.35:1 image and the inclusion of the original Cantonese track,the audio is incomplete in some sections (reverting to the English dub) and contains dubtitles.Fortunately I was able to obtain a custom version that includes the original UK soundtrack as used in the UK Rank video version,I feel that the new dubbed version ruins the film.This is an absolute classic,it's such a shame that they messed the DVD release up,if you're lucky you might be able to obtain the custom version that I own.Thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoy the film,despite the dvds drawbacks.

Buy it on Blu-ray, it looks great and i tested it on my playstation 4, it plays perfectly, no problem with the region locking. This movie would later heavily inspire Akira Toriyama's world famous Dragon Ball manga/tv show.
