Product Description

The Original Kung Fu Comedy! Won Fei Hung (Jackie Chan) stars as the mischievous young son of a martial arts school master who is constantly clowning around when he should be learning kung fu. After his comic antics injure the son of a powerful local man, his father enlists the help of his sadisticuncle to teach his son a little self-discipline. This strange man, who has a reputation for crippling his students, tries to teach Fei Hung a bizarre style of kung fu. At first, Fei Hung resists, butafter losing a fight with a local assassin who has been hired to kill his father, he realizes he must master the special art of the 's trademark slapstick comedy, DRUNKEN MASTER ushered in the new genre of kung fu comedy and established Chan as its uncontested king.

Amazon.com

Though it wasn't Jackie Chan's first film, Drunken Master is the film that cemented his stardom. Jackie plays the rebellious son of a kung fu master. To teach Jackie the value of discipline, his father apprentices him to another master named So Hi, who has a unique "drunken" fighting style. Jackie chafes at So Hi's rigorous exercises and runs away--only to be brutally humiliated at the hands of a hired killer named Thunderleg. Chastened, Jackie becomes So Hi's devoted student. He soon discovers he will need everything he's learned when Thunderleg is hired to kill his father. In Drunken Master, Jackie is only beginning to cultivate his mixture of action and comedy; here the emphasis is on kung fu acrobatics. But the kung fu is astounding. The final fight is dizzying and amazingly choreographed by director Yuen Woo-ping (now famous as the fight choreographer for The Matrix). --Bret Fetzer

Bootleg version? Home-burnt disc?

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

I owned this movie and it's one of my favorites. After my ex moved out, it went missing so I had to buy a new copy.

Upon receiving this copy, I noticed something was off.

The DVD case label is obviously printed from an inkjet printer that seems to be running out of ink. The disc had a similar poor print quality. On the surface of a disc was a fingerprint.

In the DVD menu, the buttons and options appear to be different from the original as well.

All signs seem to indicate this is a bootleg copy. Purchase elsewhere.

Issues abound

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

The three stars are not a commentary on the film (which is excellent) but rather the Blu-ray disc itself. For your audio options you have the English dub or... the English dub with the occasional Cantonese track coming in and out. For whatever reason, you can't listen to this film in its original language in its entirety. Unacceptable. The captions are also dubtitles, so you can't even have the benefit of experiencing the original language in *any* context. I can't speak to how loyal the English dub is to the original script, but the voice work is entertaining enough that I can enjoy the film without much in the way of cringing.

For some reason, the release sold here is Region 2. I was concerned that it wouldn't play, but the movie works fine on a Region 1 Blu-Ray player. The special features, however, do *not*. Any attempt to access them just brings you to a black screen.

Overall, this Blu-ray release is massively disappointing. Buy this only if you're content to watch the movie dubbed and without special features.

A martial arts classic reborn

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am an avid fan of martial arts movies and Jackie Chan. Until this purchase I had never seen Drunken Master (1978).

That has been rectified.

Taken from a recent 4K scan of the film, the transfer looks glorious on Blu-ray and the audio sounds great as well. The original Cantonese soundtrack is provided in its entirety. There is also a Mandarin soundtrack and an English dubbed soundtrack as well, although I would strongly recommend watching with the original Cantonese audio. There are also four different subtitle tracks.

For customers who do not live in the UK, do not worry. I am a U.S. customer and I can confirm the discs play in a US manufactured Blu-ray player. The Blu-ray is designated Region ABC while the the DVD is Region 0.

There are also a wealth of special features including an interview with Jackie Chan, interview with Ng-Seen Yuen, a video appreciation from Gareth Evans of the Raid fame, and much more!

Highly recommended! This review is for the Eureka Entertainment Blu-ray release so please make sure to purchase that item.

World of Drunken Master has no Jackie Chan in it.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018

This is deceptive because if you google in the blu-ray for Drunken Master, it has the actual movie Drunken Master but wrong region, then you click on DVD and it has the correct cover and region, but the movie is The World of the Drunken Master and has no Jackie Chan in it,... still a pretty good movie but deceptive trick here since I wouldn't pay this price for some random bootleg movie.

Drunken fun...

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

Probably the first kung-fu movie I have watched as a child, I might have been 8 or 9 years old. This is actually, a kung-fun comedy, which makes it even more note-worthy. One of the better films of Jackie Chan from his earlier years but if you ask me all of his best films come from the 70's and 80's. Drunken Master (1978) was a break-through film for Jackie Chan that kicked-off his career as a star in Hong Kong action flicks. The film is about a disobedient youngster (Jackie) who likes to goof around with his friends, but when one day his bad behavior spirals out of control, his father decides to send for a well-known kung-fu master who is notorious for his wine drinking and tough discipline. Soon after, Jackie's character learns kung-fu fighting while under the influence :)

Anyone who is into martial-arts needs to watch this classic...

What a waste of money

I thought I was ordering Drunken Master with Jackie Chan. This is Legend of the drunken master and not with Jackie Chan. I would say this is not a professional DVD. The disk is blank as in no label or name nothing on the label.
The only thing that fits the ad is the box. It says "Drunken Master " with Jackie Chan. This movie was awful and a total waste of money

Jackie Chan at his best - what more is there to say?

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Drunken Master is a classic martial arts film starring Jackie Chan. It is well choreographed, and slapstick. The voice acting and story are pretty bad, but the feats performed by the actors are awesome to watch. Makes you really appreciate what someone in great shape can do. Drunken Master is to Jackie Chan what Enter the Dragon is to Bruce Lee - maybe not the best movie, but an easily accessible show piece of the actor at his peak performance.

A classic re-born in blu!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Well it's not too often that I'm blown away by a Blu-ray release, but it usually comes when something you know and love so well is meticulously restored. And Eureka have done an utterly sublime job with this brand new restored edition of Drunken Master.

I actually came to Drunken Master quite late on, preferring Jackie Chan's 80s output (Wheels on Meals, Armour of God, Police Story, etc) over his more traditional Kung Fu movies, but when I finally got round to Drunken Master, I was an instant fan of it's comedic style and phenomenal fight choreography. Since then, I've owned it in many formats from video, to the Hong Kong legends and Mei Ah DVD releases, but they've all suffered problems in their own ways. The film has been incorrectly cropped, suffered bad picture quality, an incomplete Cantonese soundtrack (reverting to English in spots) and notorious "dubtitles" for the original language track (meaning you're basically getting the English dub to screen, rather than an actual translation of the original language, which I find infuriating). So until now, it's always the best of a bad bunch for Drunken Master, but I'm glad to say that Eureka have made this a thing of the past.

Presented in it's original theatrical ratio of 2.35:1 and having undergone a 4k restoration, Eureka's release looks phenomenal. The detail, clarity, and faithful colour presentation make it hard to believe you're watching a 39 year old film. And it's about as authentic as it gets, no recourse to horrible DNR or any other of those more illusory mastering techniques. The quality of the restoration alone would be enough to make this worth every penny, but what you also have here for the first time ever is not only the FULL Cantonese soundtrack in lossless LPCM mono, but also both lossless English and Mandarin dubs. The Mandarin dub is the same as the Mei Ah release (with a few missing sections reverting to English) but is a really nice inclusion. The full Cantonese soundtrack is brilliantly clear, and authentic, and packs a surprisingly big punch despite the simplicity of its design. And in a truly fantastic attention to detail, Eureka have even provided proper subtitled translations of both the Cantonese and Mandarin versions, with subtitles for the hard of hearing too.

To top all that off, there's a whole host of extras, including an absolutely brilliant and insightful audio commentary by film experts and authors Ric Myers and Jeff Yang (co-author of "I am Jackie Chan - My life in action") as well as deleted scenes, an appreciation by Gareth Evans (The Raid), interviews, and a whole load more including a really nice specially commission booklet essay.

Also, for any American and Canadian fans, I can confirm that I was able to play this on my region modded Blu-ray player when switched to "Region A" so this would appear to be region A and B compatible.

So in short, this not only the greatest version of Drunken Master I've seen, it's also the finest release of any Jackie Chan film I've seen too. Whilst I appreciate Drunken Master is arguably one of the most important films in Chinese cinema history, and well deserving of it's "Masters of Cinema" tag, I secretly hope that Eureka are able to bring us more Jackie Chan in the future. If they are to this standard, then that's a very exciting prospect indeed.

Original VHS version of Drunken Master converted to DVD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

Finally! After years and years of searching, I have finally found the original VHS version of Drunken Master which has been converted to DVD!
If you are looking for the version you most likely would have seen on video tape many years ago, then this is that version. It has the original English dubbing from the VHS version, where the baddy is called "Thunderfoot".
Some reviews here are talking about other versions, so if you are after the version with original dubbing, go for the one that is in my pic.
Quality-wise, it isn't great, bearing in mind it is just a straight conversion from VHS to DVD and there are no extras.
If you are not bothered about this specific version with this dubbing, then there are many other better quality versions of Drunken Master (with better dubbing) out there which you can buy.
Only get this version if you are after this specific dubbing of the film.
For this particular version, I gave it 4 stars as I have finally found the version I was looking for and it met my expectations.

Picture quality fantastic, audio major disappointment

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

The picture quality of this "Masters of Cinema" blu-ray edition is fantastic when compared to previous releases. The audio is a big disappointment for me, though for reasons that will only be valid for a part of the viewership. So let me explain:
This release is listed as having English, Cantonese and Mandarin audio. The english dub is expectedly terrible, as with all movies of that era, but that's OK. I don't speak Cantonese, but my Mandarin is quite good. In other words, I bought this release to watch it in Mandarin. Imagine my surprise when the setup menu informed me that "the Mandarin soundtrack was originally created for a shorter version of the film. Additional footage is presented in english". OK, so I told myself, some chunk of the movie will be in english, it'll hopefully still be ok for the most part. Then watching it, I found this to be a terrible mess where in tons of scenes throughout the movie the audio will switch to the terrible english dubbing for a minute, or maybe even for one sentence, then go back to mandarin. A complete mess, totally takes you out of the viewing experience every few minutes.
This is not mentioned in the product description here with even a single word, and trat already angered me quite a bit. But the worst of it all is that I do possess an old "Mei Ah" DVD release of the same movie. And while that DVD release is a shorter cut than this "Masters of Cinema" edition, it does contain scenes that switch to the english dub on the new blu-ray, only that these scenes _do_ have an original Mandarin dubbing on the old DVD. The opening scene for example, which is completely in english in the new release, exists fully intact and in Mandarin on the "Mei Ah" DVD.
So in short, a better job could have been done to make this a "definitive" release, and its shortcomings should at least be made aware to the customers willing to pay for it.

Classic!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2020

Drunken Master is a Hong Kong action film from 1978. The film was directed by Yuen Woo-Ping (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and stars the legendary stunt master Jackie Chan. The film is a Kung Fu classic and is a film that I have never actually seen up, until now that is.

With the Corona Virus lock down in full effect, I found myself with the desire to watch some old school Jackie Chan films. I was on the lookout for the classics Police Story, Project A and Wheels On Meals. I noticed that Eureka have cleaned up and released a lot of these films. Unfortunately for my bank account, I picked up a large amount of movies in one swoop. This included Drunken Master, a film I have always been curious about but for whatever reason, a film that I had never really went out my way to see.

Drunken Master is a fairly simple story and one that no doubt has been told many times. Jackie Chan plays (presumably the legendary) Wong Fei-Hung. He's an overly cocky but talented individual. His over the top attitude lands him in trouble and as a punishment, his father sends him off to learn under the dreaded Beggar So. The plot is fairly bare bones and is nothing particularly ground breaking. It's all held together by the great charisma from the actors on screen. They all do their parts with great conviction.

In typical Jackie Chan fashion, the film is quite tongue in cheek and has a lot of high speed action. The use of slapstick humour etc is generally well done. I got a good number of laughs out of the film and I think they did a great job scattering the jokes around without making it overly silly. This of course is all balanced out with the action sequences, which there are no lack of. Some scenes are very fast and hard hitting, whilst others come across as very well choreographed routines. These routines I quite enjoyed. You could see the actors were clearly keeping a specific rhythm and was very different (to my eyes at least).

The print presented by Eureka looks very nice. It has lots of colour and plenty of crisp detail. I have seen clips of this film over the years and not a single one came remotely close to looking this good. For a film that is over forty years old now, it has aged beautifully and that is not just from the beautiful cinematography etc but the effort to preserve the quality of the film.

I almost feel embarrassed that it took me this long to see this film but I am glad I finally did. It's a great up beat movie with lots of laughs. It's a very easy watch with plenty of extras to keep any fan going. If martial arts movies is your thing, do yourself a favour and pick this one up.

it's always fun to see a young Jackie display his martial arts ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Yuen-Woo Ping's Drunken Master has a reputation as one of the breakout films for Jackie Chan and one that, with its predecessor Snake in the Eagle's Shadow ushered in the then-fresh action comedy style for Kung Fu films. Both Chan and Ping have gone on to make substantially more polished and entertaining films in their career so DM's classic status IMO is more in terms of its historical context in the genre. That said, it's always fun to see a young Jackie display his martial arts skills and buffoonery. I watched the film using the Cantonese audio (which the lip-movements match with) and the gimmick pidgin English Hong-Kong bootleg style subtitles (while they have been intentionally created for this release, the English subtitles on 88Films' blu-ray for Killer Constable continue the tradition of hilarious grammatical faux pas).
The large stack of extras includes a Jackie Chan interview, which seems to be taken from some Japanese convention he was attending for the restored screenings of SITES and DM. While he doesn't have anything specific to say about this film, there are some nice stories about his fame and career. I got quickly bored with the Gareth Evans appreciation piece.There's a decent lengthy Tony Rayns appreciation and producer interview. The booklet has a nice contextual essay by Michael Brooke, and stills of original poster art.
