The Legend of Drunken Master

aka Drunken Master II

After attempting to get around paying customs on some ginseng, Wong Fei-hung stumbles into a plot to smuggle valuable artifacts out of China. Using his drunken boxing skills, Wong Fei-hung tries to put an end to the cultural theft and fight for the rights of some local steel mill workers. How is the smuggling related to the labor dispute? Don’t worry about it. All you really need to know is that this movie is full of great fight sequences. It's nearly 80% action set pieces, with each one getting a little bit bigger than the one that came before. For example, if fighting an axe gang isn’t enough for you, how would you feel about a big showdown over hot coals?
