We're continuing Jackie Chan-uary with Drunken Master II (1994), or The Legend of Drunken Master as it was called in the West.This is probably Jackie Chan's last Chinese masterpiece and paved the way for his success in the West - ironic considering the nationalist themes running through this movie.But still, who doesn't enjoy watching Wong Fei-hung drink a bunch of industrial grade alcohol before kicking some hanjian butt?If you enjoy content like this, maybe you'd like to check out our weekly podcast Two Asian Blokes, where we chat about Asian pop culture.Video version -- https://youtu.be/M3ad2JEUzx8SUBSCRIBE -- https://www.youtube.com/@twoasianblokes?sub_confirmation=100:00 The Start02:01 You can't beat white people03:28 The opening05:00 Lau Kar-leung07:02 Ti Lung and Anita Mui08:48 A timeless movie10:56 Themes13:22 Mates15:01 Bad guys and bad dubbing16:30 The fights18:53 The final battle20:25 The true ending24:02 closing thoughtsWhat do you think of Drunken Master II?
