Late Movie Time!

Hell yeah.

Drunken Master 2 is how we Americans learn to fight.

Jackie Chan = overrated and boring

Jackie Chan is my gay bitch.

I don't care what anyone says. I go to movies to have fun. "Campy" Jackie Chan Kung Fu flicks are awesome! Godforbid all movies turn into Kung Fu flicks, but its nice to watch Jackie every now and then. The outtakes that are shown at the end of the movies are cool too. You get to see Jackie break his legs for real.

I am talking about the kick vs. Ken Lo where he hits him and he flies about 6-8 into a wall. I know that a flying kick (saw Bruce Lee do it once) sent a guy flying about that far, but that was with a run up.

Shut up Jack (ass)

If there was no Wire-fu then how the hell did all the people get kicked all the way across the F******g room? No way that would happen in real life. Defies the laws of physics.

hehe somebody with good video editing skills needs to put together a "Best of the Best" with all the greatest fight scenes in history.

Interesting Facts about Legend of Drunken Master (aka Drunken Master 2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- It was made originally in 1994 as Drunken Master 2.
- It is a remake of/sequel to Drunken Master (also a Jackie Chan movie) which was released in 1979.
- It is much better than the original ;)
- Jackie Chan was 40 years old when he made this movie (!!!).
- Ti Lung, who plays his father in DM2, is only about 8 years older than Jackie Chan.
- Anita Mui, who plays his step mother in DM2, is actually 9 years YOUNGER than Jackie Chan.
- The fight at the end of the film was originally supposed to be Jackie Chan vs. "Henry" (the guy that kicked steel-worker butt near the beginning of the movie), but "Henry" injured himself during filming and so the end fight was done between Jackie Chan and Ken Lo ("John").
- Ken Lo is a Muay Thai Kickboxing Champion, and is Jackie Chan's bodyguard in real life.
- The fight scenes in Drunken Master 2 were choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping. This is the same guy that choreographed other movies such as Fist of Legend, The Tai-Chi Master (both Jet Li films) and The Matrix. He is also choreographing upcoming movies such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) and The Matrix 2 (Jet Li).

Semi-Facts ;)
-------------------
- Drunken Master 2 is NOT like Jackie's other recent movies. There is no jumping from helicopters, he doesn't fall down any buildings, and he doesn't jump onto moving trains on a motorcycle. DM2 is a balls-out, full-on hardcore martial arts movie, with some of the best fight scenes ever made.
- Drunken Master 2 can be considered one of the best Martial Arts films ever made, outstripping even Bruce Lee's films (although Bruce Lee could likely take Jackie in a straight fight).
- You cannot call yourself a fan of Martial Arts movies if you have not seen Drunken Master 2. ;)

I'll think of more stuff.. just wait. ;)

Hey Jack, who gives a shit? If I wanted to read movie reviews I'd be at www.moviereviews.com

If you get a chance, check out "Art of Snake and Crane". Jacky is awesome in that movie!

RENT IT

I don't have any interesting facts or tidbits about the movie but I did, in fact, go see it this past friday with my good buddy and we had an absolute BLAST (even if we saw it in a ghetto theater with screaming babies n stuff). The acting was chincy , the fights were absolutely spectacular, and the comedy was well done (especially the melodramatic acting). I would definately recommend this to anyone who wants to check out a pure and fun movie.

It is an old movie but his best movie with "First Strike". Druken Master2 is better than the first one. Pardon me... I know only a few of his movies.

WHat I hate is people exploiting people to earn more money. These movie are damn old and should no more be release on Theater FOR THE NORMAL PRICE RATE.

I'm glad they released this one tho, drunken master 1 sucked, the second one however rocked my world :)

I watched all these movies ages ago while in Nigeria. I left Nigeria in 1992 its funny to come to the States and see people pay to watch these old movies in the theaters. Funny part is that I rented the legend of drunken master from Blockbuster last year.

what exactly was the original ending on DM2?

high risk by jet li .. that's entertainment.

although i doubt anybody here would appreciate watching jackie cheung making a fool of himself ..

Actually, this was released more than five years ago. I saw it in the original language in a New York theatre back around 1993, I think. It's definitely his best movie.

The first fight scene underneath the train is just incredible. Doing all that work in a 3 foot high space...

I think jackie chan was bitten by a radioactive spider or something! That guy is like spiderman! rrrrrgggrRRAAHHTIMMAH!!

Jackie Chan rules!
better than bruce lee!
=P

Jackie Chan, baby!

The Drunken Boxing scenes rocked

The Matrix 0wnz Legend of Drunken Master

one of the most entertaining films he has ever made, although doesn't the original hong kong print already come with english subtitles ? i doubt a dub would do justice to some of the more comedic lines

Lo Wang soap you good
