Drunken Master II (1994)

Summary: You can mix Red and White wine and get away with it!

This story begins with Wong Fei Hung (Jackie) trying to help his father
with his medical practice by sneaking Ginseng past the soldiers
(and thus avoiding paying the duty) at a crowded railway station.
The thing is though, he loses the Ginseng and ends up in a fight
with a mysterious stranger only just making it back to the train
when it is leaving.

Back home a customer comes to get his Ginseng and his mother
(Anita Mui) covers for him and comes up with a substitute.
Later on, while trying to make some money to buy some real
Ginseng, his mum is accosted by some dodgy blokes and he ends
up demonstrating 'Drunken Boxing' to the crowd (you can mix red
and white wine and get away with it.)

Everyone in the town seems to be pleased, but his dad is really
pissed off and kicks him out of the house, also the dodgy dudes
(who also own the steel mill) come back and kick the crap out of
him (since he is really drunk this time).

After being found hanging naked from a pole wearing only a banner
(and recuperating for a bit) the bloke he fought at the start
comes to his house asking about The Emperor's Jade Seal that he
found on the train, after this they go to a tea house to discuss
matters, but a few hundred univited guests interrupt them...

I have this movie on tape at home and decided to watch it today
because there was nothing better on (and I had already watched
Batman : The Movie (1966 version) and Destroy All Monsters), but
I was surprised how good all the action sequences seemed after
seeing Jackie's more recent movies that are meant to be more
'action packed'.

I would recommend this movie to you whether you were a Jackie Chan
fan or not, since it's a really good movie and it has some of the
best action sequences I've seen in any Hong Kong movie.

Rating : B-B-Q Jackie Chan (9/10)
