Drunken Master (1979)



Fun. Mesmerizing. Kung-Fu. (FMK)

Final Verdict: I can't say I've seen a whole lot of Jackie Chan's films, especially his older ones, but I'm certain this is him at his best. There is great chemistry between the story, which is goofy and fun, and the martial arts, which is graceful and captivating. The "drunk boxing" is incredible to see on film, and Chan pulls it off with such style and fluidity that it makes you beg for more. Maybe I just appreciate kung-fu movies in general, but I thought this was top-notch entertainment. It makes me want to learn some mixed martial arts and whoop on some punk asses.

Spoiler(s): I've killed a group of armed men with my bare hands...while still in the womb. So suck it.
