The Legend Of Drunken Master
Stunning, ground-breaking martial-arts, from the world's most famous action-star. With a brilliant tongue-in-the-cheek portrayal of indestructable folk-hero Wong Fei Hung, normally played with single-minded determination by Jet Li in the "Once upon a time in China" series, Jackie Chan shines as the young fighter with a talent to become a legend. Under the guidance of Sam Seed, Fei Hung endures some of the most tortuous training ever devised in a bid to master the devastating art of Drunken Boxing. His climatic battle with ace kick-fighter Hwang Jang Lee, which highlights the forms of the eight Drunken Mortals, is a breath-taking showcase and a glowing tribute to the awesome physical talents of both performers.

Return To Classic Kung Fu.
This is Jackie's return to classic Kung Fu film making and he revels in it. Both very funny, largely down to a marvelous performance from Anita Mui as Jackie's step mother, and jaw droppingly fantastic in the fight sequences. Jackie has never been better. Some critics rate this as the greatest Kung Fu movie ever made... well I'm not sure I would go that far, but Jackie Chan does Drunken Boxing like no other actor. The plot is well layered and makes sense (yes, you read it right.) Sadly this film is not available in this country at the moment. Thank goodness for multi-region players and American imports!

The best of times, the worst of times
This film somehow manages both to hit the heights of greatness and yet also be one of the most painful movies to watch ever made. The action sequences are jaw-droppingly well constructed and executed, with Jackie Chan at his superb acrobatic best. Then they try to be funny. It doesn't work. Buttock-clenchingly bad. Still, the kung fu more than makes up for it.
