This movie is one of the most insanely entertaining films I have ever seen! Chinese mythology on an acid trip. Copious wire work, hysterical dialogue and frenetic action. Nothing in this movie makes sense. At one point a character wins thru the use of the, "world's largest knife!!!" being a blade twice the size of her body!!! ha! pick it up, but don't take seriously as an action movie!

I don't know where these other reviews came from (they are identical to the ones for drunken wu tang though). This movie is NOT Drunken Wu Tang. I bought it under the impression that it was. Even IMDB says it is the same. It isn't don't be fooled. It doesn't even have the same actors in it!!!!!!! The IMDB web page is wrong! The info page on amazon is also wrong!

Li Yi Min stars as a young student of a drunken master, who gets caught up in some trouble with a group of masters, and a Nomad expert. After being delt a good beating, he returns to his teacher to learn a secret style that will guarentee him redemption. Good action, and some cool bad guys, including a sharp, and deadly snake style master. very entertaining.

This flick was just "o.k" I though,,,i know what this kid is capable of, but he did not deliver in this movie. However,,it does have some really great fight scenes,,,definately some old school performance!!

I felt compelled to write this review after reading the comments of the guy below who was warning people not to buy this fine film, or get 'ripped off'. Come on folks, this is ten dollar celluloid with the title 'Drunken Wu-Tang'....anybody looking for Citizen Kane should've figured out this movie wasn't for them. Yes it has porcupine-man, a crotch-biting watermelon robot, an old woman who fights with a smoking pipe, and a drunken fool who drives a rat cart....but I'm supposed to think these are bad things?!?!? If I were stuck on a VCR equipped desert island with only this movie and 'The Story of Ricky' I think I'd be just fine, thank you.

Lee I Min stars as a young kung fu master in one of the best performances of his career. Simon Yuen teaches him from a young age and Lee I Min grows up to be an expert. He has no problem handling weak kung fu experts played by Lee Siu Ming and Lee Man Tai, but then he runs into Lung Tien Sheng, who is probably best known for playing The Rambler in Flag of Iron, and he was in a lot of other Venoms movies, and gives a great performance in this movie. So after Lee I Min loses he goes back to his master to learn more kung fu. Then he goes to defeat Lung Tien Sheng. So like I said you've seen this type of story plenty of times before, and there's nothing new here, except some good fights.

3.5/5 (this movie would get a 1/5 if it wasn't for the 2 fights between Lee I Min and Lung Tien Sheng)

Picture quality on the Groundzero DVD is decent, but most importantly it's letterboxed. The English dub sounds pretty good.

"Drunken Wu Tang", the greatest martial arts movie ever made! It's a rip-roaring tale of martial mayhem, as the Wu Tang clan find themselves employing every crazy stunt in the book in order to combat groin-munching monsters, handheld cluster bombs, giant pipe kung fu, and the spiky antics of porcupine back. Don't miss the Yuen Brothers in their greatest adventure ever. This is the tale of one "Old Devil", who was banished to the under world for some unknown and most likely insane reason, who is now back and on a quest to capture the "secret documents" and the only one who can stop him is one "Drunken Old Fool" who can't put down the bottle (or gourd) and drives around in a yellow rat mobile. There is no real plot or reason to this movie, but its total randomness and insane action scenes are the best to be found in any b rate kung fu movie. If you are into these types of films or if you just need a good laugh, this is the movie to see.

Please don't do what i did. When you first glimps at the movie box, you see two long haird men who look pretty interesting. But once you watch the movie you realize there not in it. The movie seems like a martial arts film meets the muppets. There are no real exciting fights, instead they filled the movie with senseless and annoying characters. Theres the drunken guy, the Drunken guys friend, the Devil, a crotch biting robot, Porcupine man, who lasts about 3 minutes ( so what was the point). Once you put it in your vcr and hit play, youll begin to feel the cheated, cheap feeling that im sure many others have felt like me. Viewer beware! this movie is awful
