From a land where honor and tradition reign, comes the legend of a martial-arts hero unlike any other. The "Drunken Master" can turn just one drink into devastation and humiliation for his enemies. His technique is fast, furious . . . and powerfully funny.
It is called “Drunken Boxing.”
Jackie Chan, the world's biggest action star, mixes high-proof action with a twist of his trademark humor as the renowned Wong Fei-hong, the young master of the "drunken" fighting style.
It all starts when one day, returning home with his father after a shopping expedition, Wong Fei-Hong is unwittingly caught up in the battle between foreigners who wish to export ancient Chinese artifacts and loyalists who don't want the pieces to leave the country. Fei-Hong's father has taught him a style of fighting, which makes him a dangerous person to cross.

Aside from Chan, the cast includes Ti Lung, Anito Mui, Andy Lau, Wing-Fong Ho and more.
