Customer Reviews of Drunken Master
The Original Drunken Master!! The original Drunken Master finally arrives on dvd in all its glory. With an Anaphormic widescreen format this version can't miss. I actually give this release 4 1/2 stars due to a couple minor problems I find with the dvd. Fisrt off, JC's voice dubbing is absolutely criminal. It's terrible dubbing at it's worst. (I know most of you kung-fu fans like the original languages, but there are some of us who like to watch the movie in English!) Also, I found the audio to be a little on the poor side. Even for a kung-fu movie. It wasn't terrible, but not as good as my many other kung-fu dvd releases.
As far as the movie goes, it's simply top drawer. JC is in excellent form here, drunken fist and without drunken fist. Good kung-fu from all players. Especially JC's eight drunken gods and Si Ho (the drunken teacher). Also, some interesting snake and crane from JC in the beginning. Overall, this is a must have for any fan of kung-fu or JC. Constant action, great fight choreography, decent story and great Jackie slapstick comedy. Don't let this one go!
Great Release, but with a few problems...
Finally, one of Jackie's best movies comes to DVD in the US. This version is supposedly uncut but I really cant say since I saw it for the first time quite a while ago and I can't remember. Picture quality is great for a film of its age, especially an HK film (many old HK films are very poor quality because of bad storage conditions) and the sound is about as good as it could be. As has been stated here before, the Cantonese audio track sometimes switches back to english for a few lines which is quite annoying. But seriously, 5 minutes of English dialogue doesnt ruin the whole movie.
Overall, I'd say that this is a pretty high quality DVD release except for the audio problem and the lack of any real extras (aside from the awesome full length commentary by Ric Meyers and Jeff Yang). However, for the best version of this movie on DVD check out the Hong Kong Legends version or wait for their 2-disc Platinum release(!)
The Best Kung Fu Comedy
This movie made me a fan of JACKIE CHAN just like Enter the Dragon made me a fan of BRUCE LEE.
