1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from the Disney DVD, April 6 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Legend of the Drunken Master (Widescreen) (DVD)

I won't say anything about the movie itself ... just advise people to stay away from this Disney-released DVD (unfortunately they acquired worldwide rights for distribution). Dubbing is extremely poor to the point of being an offense to the buyer. Needless to say, the original (cantonese) audio is not included. The movie's original score has been replaced by a completely new one as well. The hilarious last scene of the movie has been cut completely. Other than that, the transfer is nice (better than other DVD releases) and yes, this DVD is uncropped & anamorphic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Executives must have been drunk to release this lame DVD, April 6 2001

This review is from: Legend of the Drunken Master (Widescreen) (DVD)

Drunken Master 2 is one of the greatest martial arts films ever, especially given that most of its amazing highlights were done without any special effects, only the determination and skill of Jackie Chan and crew. The Legend of the Drunken Master dvd release represents an edited (slight but for any film purist significant enough) version of the film and most of all features NO original dialogue track, only the typically awful English dub. Hold out, and hopefully someday someone will have enough respect for both the film and target audience to put out a DVD worthy of this movie. For now, avoid Legend of the Drunken Master and find/make a friend who owns a subtitled vhs or laserdisc copy of Drunken Master 2.

Excelent
a great action movie and a great comedy there isnt a low spot in this movie. Off the start there is amazing fight sceens that are keeping your attention, but not without some story line and, Jackie Chans hillarious personality. But what is truly great about this movie would be that it starts with great action and continuously gets better, when its time for the end fight sceen you can't imagine any better action but youll be amazed again, and what i liked was the little to no use of wires in this movie contrary to many other kung fu movies. It really adds a reality to the action in a way.

What is also great is the well played characters even with the movie dubed it is still acted well enouph to make it a good movie. Not to mention the dubing adds to much of the comedy without being too cheesy.

So if you have never seen a kung fu movie see this one!

You will beilieve Jackie really is the Drunken Master

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent sequel
Although not as good as the first, Jackie makes an all out effor in this film. The story is somewhat silly, but the action more than makes up for it.
