tlegendodrunkenm.jpgI am a huge fan of martial arts films. I really like seeing the beauty and grace of a well choregraphed fightand the fact that every movie I’ve seen involves good triumphing over evil. Jackie Chan is seen by many as being the bastard cousin of Jet Li, and the like but frankly he is a very skilled martial artist and is gutys as hell. The fact that he does all his own stunts is pretty impressive, and from the looks of it has resulted in more than one serious injury. In any case The Legend of Drunken Master is the story of Wong Fei Hong a young man who is a master of a style of Kung Fu known as Drunken boxing. I’ve done some research and have discovered this is a branch of Kung Fu that is real and although not truly practiced when drunk it stems from the idea that the effects of alcohol causes the fighter to be more relaxed when fighting and thus better able to adapt when fighting. The fact is Jackie Chan makes the practice of this art form look amazing. Even though they exagerate the level to which one must drink to truly fight it’s quite wild. In even Fei Hong starts out in mischief as he always is and as a result of that mischief he ends up in a tangle with a group of men who are selling Chinese antiques to British buyers. The problem is he gets in a fight and as a result is disowned by his father and promises to never drink again, which takes away the secret to his power. The long and short is he ends up solving taking out those who are stealing, and gets them arrested in the process of doing so he is forced to drink and wins the fight and all ends of well. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes martial arts films the fighting is crazy and the story is decent so all in all a good movie.
