Short description

Returning home with his father after a shopping expedition, Wong Fei-Hong is unwittingly caught up in the battle between foreigners who wish to export ancient Chinese artifacts and loyalists who don't want the pieces to leave the country. Fei-Hong must fight against the foreigners using his Drunken Boxing style, and overcome his father's antagonism as well.

What's left behind the scenes

During the filming of the movie, a serious conflict occurred between director Lau Kar-leung and Jackie Chan. Lau believed that more realistic Hung Gar style fighting should be added to the film, while Chan understood that his fans preferred the Drunken Style. As a result, Lau left the filming, and Chan took on the directorial duties in the final fight scene.
A fight between Jackie Chan and Hu Sung Pak was originally planned for the end of the film, but Sung Pak frequently sprained his ankle. As a result, Chan was forced to train his personal bodyguard, Ken Lo (performing numerous stretches and fast kicks), for three months to take on the role of Sung Pak.
Approximately four months of filming went into shooting the final seven-minute fight scene. Chan said that to shoot three seconds of a good film, it takes one day of filming.
The episode where Jackie fights in a restaurant against a large number of opponents with axes was copied into the game "The Matrix: Path of Neo".
A third film followed the sequel, but without Jackie Chan.
The Hong Kong version of the film has a runtime of 102 minutes, the American version – 99 minutes.
The film was released in the United States under the title "The Legend of the Drunken Master".
Jackie Chan had to fall onto burning coals twice. The first time, he felt he "couldn't catch the right rhythm."
