THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER * (Theatrical Release Hong Kong 1994)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

The Legend of Drunken Master—a sequel to Jackie Chan’s 1978 release Drunken Master—does not match the entertainment value of the first story. The first story involves itself more in the art of Drunken Masters, their agility, their power and their capabilities while this film involves itself more in its story with strong emphasis on the main character’s family interactions. All in all, though, the Drunken Master films should never be missed. They are outstanding.
