Drunken Master	comment	Jackie Chan's fourth starring role, and the one that put him on the map.Wong Fei-hung is a young, irresponsible martial arts student who, in the space of one day, manages to anger his kung fu instructor by demonstrating that the instructor was an incompetent in front of the entire class, antagonize his aunt by making advances towards her daughter, and a local nobleman for beating the crap out of his (very snooty) son. As punishment, his father sends him to train under Beggar So, who has a reputation for crippling his students. Naturally, Fei-Hung doesn't like this idea, and so he escapes, only to run into Beggar So, who gives him brutally rigorous training. At first, Fei-Hung hates his mentor, but he comes to respect him and becomes a much more proficient martial artist. At the end, Fei-Hung uses his new knowledge to defeat an assassin after his father.Later, there was a sequel of sorts in the form of Drunken Master II, released in North America as Legend of Drunken Master. Wong Fei-Hung accidentally comes into possession of several valuable Chinese artifacts, which smugglers are trying to sell to Evil Brits. In 2005, Time Magazine declared this movie one of the All-Time 100 Movies, and Roger Ebert rates the climactic foundry fight as probably the best fight scene ever committed to film.A third movie, titled Drunken Master III, was released in 1994, but without Jackie Chan's involvement. Instead, Willie Chi gets to play Wong Fei-Hung, also starring Andy Lau as a gunslinger and Simon Yam as a homosexual villain.

Mind you, this is somewhere roughly in the end of the second act and we've still got at least one more big fight to go, so it isn't that permanent.

Drunken Master / int_2c628d38	comment	Worf Had the Flu: As stated above, Drunken Boxing requires one to be legitimately intoxicated. The one time in the film Beggar So is forced to fight sober (because Fei-Hung spent the money on fine food and wine for himself rather than a booze run and filled So's flask with water instead once he noticed he had drank most of it himself,) he is rapidly outclassed. To be fair though, the movie does take pains to show that it is not the lack of alcohol that is the problem, but Beggar So's shakes as he is coming down from his near constant buzz.

Drunken Master / int_362bdb30	comment	Out-Gambitted: When Fei-Hung tried to walk out of the restaurant without paying, he attempted the old "that old guy over there's paying" trick. "That old guy over there" just happened to be the owner of the restaurant. Worse, Fei-hung claimed the guy was his father. Which prompted the head waiter to ask "You have more than one father?". The head waiter just happened to be the son of the owner and added "You must be a bastard, then". Obviously, the owner and his family had seen this trick before and don't mind giving so much food away for free if it means they get to teach the perpetrator a lesson. Fei-Hung's luck at gambits extends to his tutelage under Beggar So; See below.

The climax takes place at a metalworking factory, which has small containers of kerosene used to heat up the fires enough to melt steel. Against the Final Boss, the hero Wong Fei-hung is seemingly outmatched... until he goes ahead and drinks the kerosene to activates his Drunken Master abilities. One (cut out) outtake of the epilogue had Wong suffering badly for that choice, because drinking alcohol with that high a proof turned out to give him brain damage.

There's no lasting damage, but unless you've trained in blindfolded boxing or something, you've got a problem. Fei-Hong's increasing comfort with the Drunken Miss Ho form since the first film also results in an expanded arsenal of moves. His use of the form now includes a bunch of these, again used to throw opponents off of their pace, and occasionally even fakes them out with one before striking them elsewhere.

This goes beyond being merely Brilliant, but Lazy however, as he never bothers to learn the eighth form of Drunken Boxing ("Drunken Miss Ho" which he feels is too feminine to work in a fight) and he has to make up his own eighth form in the final fight to keep from getting killed. He gets over this hangup by the second film, where he uses the form to psych opponents out.

In the teacups instance, he makes to fill the bucket directly with the other while Beggar So is taking a nap.
