Background

The film's protagonist Wong Fei-hung was a Chinese martial artist, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and a revolutionary who lived towards the stop of the Qing Dynasty. He became a Chinese folk hero and the subject area of several Hong Kong television set programmes and films. Beggar So, who plays a supporting role in the pic, is also another character from Chinese folklore and i of the Ten Tigers of Canton. The Ragamuffin So character is oft cast as an associate of Wong Fei-hung or Wong'southward uncle.

Plot

The plot centers on a immature and mischievous Wong Fei-hung (sometimes dubbed every bit "Freddie Wong"). Wong runs into a series of troubles. Firstly, he teaches an overbearing assistant martial arts teacher a lesson. Next, he makes advances on a adult female to impress his friends, and is soundly thrashed by her older female person guardian as a outcome; his shame is compounded when these 2 are later revealed to be his visiting aunt and cousin, whom he had not met earlier. Lastly, he beats up a hooligan who turns out to be the son of an influential man in town. His father decides to punish him for his behavior by making him train harder in martial arts.

Wong's father arranges for Beggar And so to train his son in martial arts. Beggar So has a reputation for crippling his students during training so Wong flees from domicile in an attempt to escape his punishment. Penniless, he stops at a restaurant and tries to con a fellow patron into offering him a free repast. As he was nigh to leave after his meal, he discovers that the man is actually the owner of the restaurant. He fights with the owner's lackeys in an attempt to escape. An former drunk nearby is drawn into the fight and helps him escape. The drunkard turns out to be Beggar And then, the Drunken Master. (Beggar So is known in some versions of the pic as Sam Seed, And so Hi or Su Hua-chi)

Beggar So forces Wong into his brutal and rigorous training programme. Wong flees once more to avoid the torturous training and runs into the notorious killer Yim Tit-sam (known in some versions as Thunderfoot or Thunderleg) by blow. Yim is known for his "Devil's Kick", a swift and deadly kicking style which has never been defeated. Wong provokes and challenges him to a fight and is soundly defeated and humiliated. He makes his way back to Beggar So and decides to commit himself to the Drunken Master's preparation program.

The training resumes and soon Wong learns Beggar So's surreptitious style of martial arts, a form of Drunken Boxing called "The Viii Drunken Immortals", named subsequently the eight xian that the fighting way references. Wong masters seven of the eight styles with the exception of Drunken Miss Ho's equally he feels that her style of fighting is too feminine.

Meanwhile, Yim Tit-sam is contracted by a business rival to impale Wong's begetter. Wong'due south father fights with Yim and is defeated and injured by him. Wong and Beggar So arrive on the scene on time and Wong continues the fight with Yim. Beggar So promises not to interfere in the fight. Wong employs the new skills he has learned and outmatches Yim's kicking style. Yim then resorts to his hush-hush technique, the Devil's Shadowless Hand, which is too fast for Wong to defeat. Wong confesses that he did not principal the last mode and then Beggar So tells him to combine the seven styles and create his own version of the last manner. Wong follows the pedagogy and discovers his ain unique mode of Drunken Miss Ho, which he uses to overcome the Shadowless Hand and finally defeat Yim.

Fight scenes and martial arts

A number of notable fights are featured in the moving picture, nearly all of them with strong elements of one-act—from the game of Go along Away with Wong Kei-ying'due south cocky, just incompetent, banana kung fu teacher, to the novel "head-fu" fighting style used by ane of his opponents. The film features the Hung Ga system of fighting, which was historically skillful by Wong Fei-hung and his father Wong Kei-ying, both of whom are major characters in the movie. The animal styles of Snake, Crane, and Tiger performed in the film are derived wholly from the Hung Ga system and behave but a tangential human relationship to the Fujian White Crane, Lama Pai (Tibetan White Crane), Black Tiger, and Serpent systems of kung fu. Monkey style kung fu, popular in Southern Chinese martial arts performances, is also shown briefly.

Withal, the "Viii Drunken Immortals" forms depicted in this film are probable the cosmos of director and choreographer Yuen Woo-ping and based on routines constitute in other systems.

The theme song of Drunken Chief is based on a Chinese folk song, "Nether the Full general's Orders".

Sequels and spinoffs

  • Drunken Master II (1994) stars Jackie Chan, and is considered the only official sequel. Chan portrays the same character, Wong Fei-hung. The Usa release of the film in 2000 was entitled The Legend of Drunken Chief.
  • In 1979, Yuen Siu-Tin reprised the part of Beggar So in the motion picture Dance of the Drunk Mantis, which is entitled Drunken Master Function 2 (non to exist confused with Drunken Master Two noted above) in some releases. The picture show, which was over again directed by his son, Yuen Woo-Ping, does non characteristic Jackie Chan, focusing instead on the drunken beggar character rather than on Wong Fei-hung. Information technology is therefore generally considered to be a spinoff rather than a truthful sequel.
  • Yuen played this aforementioned role again in the films Story of Drunken Principal and World of the Drunken Chief.
  • In 2010 Yuen Woo-ping returned to directing with Truthful Legend, which could exist chosen a prequel to Drunken Master as information technology explains why Beggar Su (played by Vincent Zhao) turns to drinking.

Imitators

As with many successful Hong Kong action films, several films were released in the wake of Drunken Primary (and its sequel) that could be considered to trade on the fame of the original films. These had less in common with the original films than the spinoffs starring Yuen Siu-tien. They include:

  • 5 Superfighters (aka The Drunken Fighter) (1978)
  • Drunken Swordsman (aka Drunken Dragon Strikes Back) (1979)
  • Drunken Arts and Crippled Fist (Featuring Li Yi Min) (1979)
  • Drunken Master, Slippery Snake (Starring Cliff Lok) (1979)
  • Shaolin Drunken Monkey (Starring Elton Chong) (1981)
  • The Shaolin Drunken Monk (starring Gordon Liu) (1982)
  • Drunken Tai Chi (directed past Yuen Woo-ping and starring Donnie Yen) (1984)
  • Revenge of the Drunken Chief (1984), starring Johnny Chan,[eighteen] whose proper name allowed him to trade off his more successful namesake in other low-budget martial arts films including Golden Dragon, Silver Snake (1979) and The Eagles Killer (1978)
  • Drunken Master III (aka Drunken Chief Killer) – starring Andy Lau (1994)
  • The Lilliputian Drunken Masters (1995)

Not all films that characteristic the Zui Quan "Drunken Fist" style (or variations on information technology) can be considered equally imitators of the Drunken Master films. Films such as Drunken Monkey (2002) may feature a drunken style of kung fu, and in the instance of The Forbidden Kingdom (2008), the aforementioned master star, but they have a fundamentally dissimilar plot and sufficiently dissimilar title to separate them from Drunken Master.
