Set in ancient China, Drunken Master follows Wong Fei-hung (Jackie Chan), a mischievous young martial artist whose arrogance and reckless behavior constantly get him into trouble. After embarrassing his father and disrespecting his elders, he is sent to train under Beggar So (Yuen Siu-tien), a legendary but unorthodox kung fu master known for his brutal teaching methods. At first, Fei-hung resists the grueling training, but he soon realizes that Beggar So’s “Drunken Fist” style holds the key to becoming a true warrior.

As Fei-hung struggles to master the unpredictable and fluid movements of Drunken Boxing, he finds himself facing a deadly enemy—Thunderleg (Hwang Jang-lee), a ruthless assassin hired to kill his father. With time running out and his skills still incomplete, Fei-hung must embrace the unorthodox techniques of his master and trust in his own abilities. His transformation from an undisciplined troublemaker to a refined martial artist is both comedic and inspiring.

The film is packed with breathtaking fight choreography, blending humor with high-energy action sequences that showcase Jackie Chan’s signature acrobatics and creativity. Unlike traditional martial arts films of the time, Drunken Master introduces a unique fighting style where being off-balance becomes an advantage, making battles both unpredictable and entertaining. The combination of slapstick comedy and fast-paced combat cemented the film’s status as a game-changer in the genre.

As the final showdown unfolds, Fei-hung faces Thunderleg in an intense, high-stakes battle. Using his newly mastered Drunken Fist techniques, he outmaneuvers his opponent in a display of agility, wit, and raw skill. Drunken Master not only catapulted Jackie Chan to international fame but also redefined kung fu cinema, blending humor and action in a way that continues to influence martial arts films today
