The old school classic that helped launch Jackie Chan into superstardom "Drunken Master" is the fraternal twin of "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" but with tighter choreography and better direction.

The script casts legendary nationalist Wong Fei-hung during his formative years who Chan plays for laughs as a mischievous brat.

Following a prank gone awry which inadvertently involves Wong's aunt and beautiful cousin the gung fu delinquent finds himself under the tutelage of his uncle, Beggar So (Simon Yuen), master of drunken fist boxing.

"Drunken Master" topped the massive earnings of its predecessor (the aforementioned "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow," released earlier that year) and ultimately ended Jackie Chan's career in chop sockey quickies and Bruce Lee rip-offs and is easily Chan's best film prior to joining Raymond Chow's Golden Harvest Studios in 1980.
