Jackie Chan humiliates an arrogant fool | Drunken Master | CLIP
Drunken Master (1978) is a classic martial arts film directed by Yuen Woo-ping and starring Jackie Chan in one of his most iconic roles. The film is a fun and fast-paced action-comedy that helped cement Chan’s reputation as a martial arts legend and a master of physical comedy.
In Drunken Master, Jackie Chan plays Wong Fei-hung, a young and mischievous martial artist who is trained by his eccentric and unorthodox master (played by the legendary Hong Kong actor, Yuen Siu-tien). The movie follows Wong as he learns the art of “drunken boxing,” a unique and unpredictable style of fighting that mimics the staggering movements of an intoxicated person. As Wong matures, he must use his new skills to defend himself and his family from various enemies.
The film blends impressive fight choreography with humor, showing Chan’s exceptional abilities in both martial arts and comedic timing. The “drunken boxing” style, which combines fluid and chaotic movements with precise strikes, became a signature element of the film and is still one of Chan’s most memorable performances.
Drunken Master was not only a box office success, but it also helped popularize Jackie Chan’s unique blend of martial arts and comedy, which would go on to define much of his career. It’s also often considered one of the best examples of Hong Kong martial arts cinema from the ’70s, influencing many films in the genre that followed.
