    A six-year-old masterpiece, never-before widely seen in the U.S., is still a masterpiece.

    Has enough going on to make it a classic. You'll want to own it.

    The uncertain plot somehow concerns ginseng and stolen objets d'art; the main thrust is acrobatic slapstick with a decided antipatriarchal twist.

    Wait.... I thought this was Drunken Master... Not the Drunken Master 2 released in America as The Legend of the Drunken Master. Well they certainly made everything less mysterious and more childish. Honestly, if you think this is the best kung fu movie ever made, your brain will explode if you watch Drunken Master the original and there are a lot better kung fu movies than that, that don't constantly resort to slapstick without a moment of seriousness.… Expand
