Viewing Notes
Honestly thought I had seen this but now I think I was confusing it with Young Master. Now having just watched it I don’t think I’ve seen this before now. For shame because it really has some wonderful Jackie Chan fighting in the drunken kung fu style. Also interesting that he’s pretty much an asshole brat that ultimately gets humbled and turns over a new leaf.
Being the landmark movie that this is I wonder if this is the best or at least the most renowned Wong Fei Hung movie. There is a short sequence where Chan mimics Bruce Lee, which I’m sure was intentional.
