This is a movie about fighting. Lots of fighting. I'm not really a fan of the martial arts genre, but I kept reading that the last fight in the film was special so I rented it. It's a good guys vs. bad guys thing, with greed being the usual engine. Jackie Chan was great in the fight scenes and so-so in the other scenes. The actress who played his stepmother gave a strange performance and added some funny moments. The final fight in the film IS special. I wonder how many takes it needed and how many bandages got used. I'd watch this again.

Really fun fight scenes in this one. The final fight is crazy and so dangerous that it must be seen.

One of Jackie Chan's most classic movies. This is actually the sequel to the movie Drunken Master. Unfortunately there was never really a US release of Drunken Master, and most of the copies that you will find are imports. As far as this movie goes it is an incredible Martial Arts movie, and really shows Chan's ability to adapt in his style. I had always heard about Drunken Monkey or Drunken Boxing style of fighting but I hadn't seen it until this film. If you are looking for a great martial arts movie this is the one to check out.
