THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC CINEMA
THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER (1994) Directed by Chia-Liang Liu Rated R
Is it possible that the greatest Kung Fu movie of all time is a comedy? Yes, and it's a fact-loose historical drama as well. Don't bother looking for any wires on Jackie Chan as the legendary Wong-Fei-Hong. The young master must return to the forbidden art of drunken boxing to stop westerners from smuggling priceless artifacts out of China during the Ching Dynasty.
