Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJackie Chan actually crawled over the burning hot coals two times. He felt he "didn't have the right rhythm" the first time he did it.
- GoofsJust at the beginning of the first street fight drunken boxing scene, Fei-hung's Step-Mother pushes past a tall blond man in a grey suit and tie to go inside with her girlfriends and get Fei-hung some wine. In the next scene, we see them go up to the bar and grab some bottles, first pushing past the exact same blond man from outside.

Featured review
Well, Jackie Chan has had an interesting career. On one hand, he's made some classics like Project A and Dragons Forever. On the other hand, he's made some less-than-spectacular movies like Crime Story and First Strike. This movie is easily his best film ever...and also one the best martial arts movies ever made. He revisits the role that made him famous: Wong Fei Hung, the drunken master. The plot deals with smugglers trying to steal China's treasures, but in the end it isn't important. The fights are what matters, and Chan fights like a son of a gun. There are some excellent traditional fight scenes like him fighting Lau Kar Leung and one w/ a Choy li fut stylist. There's a memorable fight against an Ax Gang (Ax army is more like it). The finale, where he takes on the smugglers led by a super kicking Thai boxer, is probably the greatest fight scene choreographed. This movie doesn't cease to entertain. A must see for any fans of action, martial arts, HK movies, or just Jackie Chan himself.
