Plot Summary:
The Drunken Master (1978) is a legendary martial arts film that helped propel Jackie Chan to international fame. The film blends martial arts with humor in a way that was groundbreaking at the time. It tells the story of Wong Fei-hung (Jackie Chan), a mischievous and rebellious young man who is trained in the ancient art of Drunken Boxing by the eccentric and unpredictable master, Beggar So (Yuen Siu Tien).

The story begins with Wong Fei-hung getting into trouble for his unruly behavior and his tendency to make enemies. His father, worried about his son’s future, sends him to train with Beggar So, a drunken, unorthodox martial artist known for his unique fighting style that combines drunkenness with deadly precision. Fei-hung initially struggles with his training, unable to grasp the style, but eventually learns that Drunken Boxing is not just about drunkenness — it’s a method that requires mastery, timing, and unpredictability.

As Fei-hung trains, he faces various opponents, leading to hilarious and intense fight sequences. His main rival, the formidable General Jang (Jang Lee Hwang), challenges him to a showdown, testing Fei-hung’s newfound abilities. The climax of the film brings a fierce battle, where the young martial artist’s skills and ingenuity are put to the ultimate test.
