drunken master I
|
One of my top faves - check out Jackie's fitness in those training sessions. He can still do 80% of them you know! Only bad cantonese dubbing was the opening scene. A little booboo in editing with Jackie's costumes in a couple of the scenes as they were clean/dirty/clean again. Probably cause he drenched them with all those re-takes. Good storyline, top fighting sequences, wide angle shots, good punchlines (only if you understand cantonese). With all new digitally remastered techniques, don't you wish these distributors would put back all those deleted scenes (not because they're bad but because screening time was limited in those days)! True Jackie's fans must have this in their collection. I do and am waiting for improved version of this dvd for proper special features as this one is a little disappointing. |

Who did it??
Who did it??

It would have been 10/10 here's why it's only 3. Drunken Master and Jet's Shaolin Temple was the first movie I watched and it has influence me to become a Kung Fu practitioner. I memic the drunken style when I was young and I was pretty good at it. So as you gussed it I knew all the scenes and what they were about to say. Well not this crappy cut version you won't. I'm P.O just thinking about it. It has destroyed my memory of this great Kung Fu movie. And why did they cut the section when his master was throwing him around?? Oh! Well I'll just keep cursing the distrubutor that did this...Maybe my Kung fu can finally be put in use. Muah Ha Ha Ha!!!! |

Bad Cantonese dubbing
Bad Cantonese dubbing
|
This review is based on watching with the Cantonese audio track. The original film itself I would give 10/10 but this release is marred by poor Cantonese dubbing. In USA the previous release of this movie on DVD was by TriStar and they also messed up the Cantonese dubbing which ended up a mixture of English and Cantonese. Rumor is that the Cantonese soundtrack they were given was so bad that they replaced some poor sections with English. Thus you watch a movie moving in and out between English and Cantonese. For this release they tried to redubb the sections that were bad, but they chose the worst voice actors they could find. Jackie Chan and other actors sound embarrasingly stupid with sissy girl screams. Also the movie, has extended scenes. These are not infact 'bonuses' as you would first imagine but scenes that they never bothered to translate to Cantonese, so they trimmed out the film and relegated them to 'extended scenes' section. There are also other trimmings from the movie that are no where to be found. |

JACKIE AT HIS BEST
|
This movie, I shouldn't even call it a movie, I must say: "Masterpiece of filmmaking" is one of the Jackie Chan's best early pieces of martial arts. The nonstop universal comedy will make the youngest child and the oldest adult laugh and at the same time the intrigue action will keep the martial arts fans entertained till the end. Even if you are not the fan of martial arts you got to see it, because this film will never go out of style! I'm looking forward to seeing part III, Jackie is working hard on the script, he wants the storyline to be unique and interesting just like the original Drunken Master. |

A Classic!

This was a great movie- extremely funny! It had excellent fight scenes too! My only complaint is that the subtitles are very hard to read because only half of them show on the screen- but it's not hard to figure out what's going on. Overall, this was a very good movie. |
