| Alcoholism and Kung Fu, what a combination. Some great scenes in this movie folks and a midget thrown in for no obvious reason! Wu Tseng, who we never see without a terra cotta jar full of wine, is teaching Chang Fung a special form of Kung Fu. Remember "The Karate Kid" and the parts with "show me washing the car" and "painting the fence?" This movie has "make a toast" and "take another drink..." Uncle Chang's restaurant and body get stomped after the evil men discover Chang Fung is Wu Tseng's pupil, so the young man goes on a revenge tour. Plenty of odd characters running around with their own goofy Kung Fu fighting styles, Silver and Gold Tiger use their hands like claws and appear to be scratching at people! Eventually the main evil guy is revealed to be Pao Yu's father and a climatic battle occurs ending in victory for good drunks everywhere! The movie ends as we see Chang Fung teaching Monkey the art of drunken fighting. Terrific film with very little plot other than "how can we get a fight
in here." |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- Never crouch over broken pottery.
- Drunken Shoalin monks make pretty good teachers.
- Men's ponytails become erect when seeing a pretty girl. (This is why we get sex ed in high school.)
- Getting beat up by a drunk is pretty embarrassing.
- A woman's Kung Fu punches sound like rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together.
- Kung Fu flicks should not contain a synthesized version of "Dixie Land."
- There is a powerful form of Kung Fu in which you scratch your opponent to death.
- Never stick your hand through your daughter.

| Being larger than someone and having them kick your butt is bad enough, but when they use a wicker basket to do it the humiliation is much worse.

I saw this in the early 80's on Sunday morning Kung Fu Theather. I give it two bottoms up! Truly an epic cinematic achievement.

This movie is a must see for Kung-Fu fans.
Tho this movie isn't better then "Drunken Master" it sure has some great action scenes in it and surely is as amusing as Drunken Master.

 I liked this movie. I bought all the Kung Fu movies that are reviewed on this web site and I liked them all still waiting to see a few I have not received yet like "The Crippled Masters" and a few others. I hope that BADMOVIES.ORG will have Kung Fu movie review section that would be cool. Thanks for the Bad movies keep em comin.
