Why It Crackles

Movie Details

A Jackie Chan classic that made the "drunken fist" style famous.

- For many of the more athletic sequences, the 66-year-old Siu Tien Yuen ("Sam Seed") was doubled by Cheung-Yan Yuen and director Woo-ping Yuen.

- If the fights look familiar, it's probably because director Woo-ping Yuen also choreographed fight scenes in The Matrix and Kill Bill.

- Drunken Master was a semi-sequel to the 1977 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which featured the same director, cast and was Chan's break out film. Then, more than 15 years later Drunken Master II was released.
