Summary

Join us for a master class in action comedy as we take a look at Yuen Woo Ping's Drunken Master (1978). Jackie Chan, in the role that would launch him into stardom, plays the young and impetuous Wong Fei-Hung, who, after being kicked out of his house by his angry father, is forced under the tutelage of an old, perpetually intoxicated, martial arts master (Sui-Tin Yuen) to learn the unorthodox fighting style known as Drunken Boxing, which Wong will soon require to defeat a deadly assassin (Jang Lee Hwang ) targeting his father. Tune in for the full review! Timestamps: [00:00] Intro + Zardoz, Anne Shirley, Bocchi the Rock!, From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman [32:20] Review - Drunken Master
