Drunken Master

(Jui kuen)

As with Jet Li, here comes the other master of kung fu - Jackie Chan, with one of the real classic kung fu movies.

This movie is from 1978, and is great and very funny.

The story is about Wong Fei Hong (Jackie Chan), who is sent to train with his cruel wine drinking uncle - who is known for crippling his students. After a while Jackie Chan escapes from his uncle to get away from his extraordinary brutal training. On the run he gets beaten senseless by an assasin. After that Jackie is left himiliated - and eager for revenge he returns to his drunken master and takes up his training again, and wants to learn the 8-Drunken Genii kung-fu.

This movie turned out to be a great hit back in the 70's and drew in more then 8 Million HK dollar, and is one of the most seen classic kung fu movies.

The sucsess came from Jackie Chans kung fu teqniques mixed with comedy, the later usual Jackie Chan slapstick kung fu.
