“The Original Kung Fu Comedy!”
Drunken Master (1978) casts a mischievous young man into the tutelage of a disheveled, yet formidable old beggar, who introduces him to the arcane discipline of Drunken Fist. Through this unconventional training, the film explores the transformation from juvenile delinquency to martial arts mastery, weaving kung fu choreography with comedic elements that define Bruce Lee’s spiritual successor, Jackie Chan.
