5.0 out of 5 stars very hard hitting stuff, April 2, 2000

By	scott (New York) - See all my reviews

Although we don't see Donnie Yen getting drunk and smacking people around,we definately have a great movie here,along with a great cast.Donnie stars as a young man who gets in a scuffle with the town brat.After a second confrontation,Donnie and his brother(Yuen Yat Chor) tie up the local bully in fireworks,and accidentally set them off.After finding out Donnie made his son go crazy,the rich kid's father hires a professional assassin(Yuen Shun Yee,in a role similar to the crazed opera performer he portrayed in Dreadnaught).After his family is killed,Donnie ends up living with a crazy old man(Yuen Cheung Yan) and his wife.When the killer catches up to Donnie he makes quick work of him,with Donnie barley escaping with his life.He learns the Tai Chi style to counter the killer's hard fighting style,and eventually kills the assassin.Yuen Cheung Yan's character is absolutley hilarious,complete with buck teeth and his wine jug.Very similar to the characters he portrayed in Taoism Drunkard,and Shaolin Drunkard.The dubbing adds to the comedic effect,as he is dubbed very well.It would be ten times better if I could see it in widescreen.The fights are great as usual.I believe the movie came out in 1983 when the fight choreography was constanly getting better and better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much Tai chi, none of it drunken, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

The only tai chi in the whole movie --toward the end-- is well presented, but the attempts at humor are fairly simple-minded and even infantile (fart jokes, fat jokes, etc.) The hero's uncle sports Jerry Lewis-style fake buck teeth, and there are a couple of brief break-dance episodes. Fans of Hong Kong movies would be better served checking out Shaolin Temple 1, Master Killer or Invincible Pole Fighter.
