Drunken Master DVD

Advantages: Classic Chan, outstanding fights and quite funny
Disadvantages: As with most Chan films, the story isn't brilliant - but that isn't why we watch them

...First off. If you enjoyed Drunken Master you will love this! The DVD, for me, was a steal at £8.99. The fighting sequences are long and, as you woul expect, the choreography is excellent. The story? Well here's the general waft of it, when Dragon (Jackie Chan) tries to save his brother from a life of crime and through a case of mistaken identity finds himself on the wrong side of the law! Ending in a 20 minute end battle of tense action. But lets be honest, the story doesn't matter. This film is all about the action and full of comic moments. If, like me, you are a fan of Jackie Chan then this is a MUST HAVE. I cannot stress it enough, this film is possibly better than Drunken Master and is worth your time.... Read review

Advantages: Great movie
Disadvantages: Dubbing isnt very realistic

...Ive seen this and ive got to say its a good movie, its not one of those movies you'll laugh and laugh at, its more story orientated. There are a few fight scenes and the one where he uses drunken style fighting are good. I found the ending to be the best part of the film where they were fighting in the mines. This is the only jackie chan movie ive seen that impliments a split bamboo cane as a deadly weapon :P After watching this i'd definitely buy a couple more jackie chan dvds. Thunderbolt is a lot better than this, better storyline and great opening music, but then it doesnt capture the oriental feel to it. Watch it and find out for yourself!... Read review
