Line #6 YMMV/DrunkenMaster


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
2	** The second movie. After Fei-Hong recovers the jewels from a bad guy and immediately gets into another fight, he tosses the bundle to Ling for safekeeping. She catches it ''one-handed. Overhead.'' [[ThrowItIn The cheers of all the extras within frame looks pretty genuine.]]
3	** To say nothing of Fei-Hong's HeroicSecondWind-fueled (okay, industrial ether-fueled) NoHoldsBarredBeatdown at the end.
4	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The marketing for ''Drunken Master II'' includes an all-new theme song sung by Jackie himself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZOk9Ul63Dc And it is epic.]]
5	** The original had a rendition of the Chinese folk tune 'Under the General's Orders', earlier popularized by ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina''. It was so well-made, it became permanently associated with Wong Fei-Hong and Kung Fu training in general.
6	* ClicheStorm: The first film is full of this, but this only adds to the charm.
7	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The second movie tries to depict excessive drinking in a negative light. When Fei-Hong accidentally attacks his own father, it's sad. When he's left vulnerable and strung up by the bad guys, it's heartbreaking. Then he starts chugging industrial alcohol and it gets ''ridiculous.''
8	* CultClassic: Especially the first film as StarMakingRole for Jackie Chan and an exemplary Hong Kong action movie.
9	* EnsembleDarkhorse: In the second movie, Fei-Hong's stepmom played by 80s pop diva Anita Mui (going through something of a CareerResurrection) steals every scene she's in, and Jackie would bring her back later for ''Film/RumbleInTheBronx''.
10	* EvilIsCool: The main villains of both films are quite cool, stylish and showy fighters.
11	* EvenBetterSequel: The second one.
12	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Y62DGkyXw The Eight Drunken Gods scene.]] Wong gets a bit stuck when he comes to mastering the fighting style of [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the one female member of the Eight Gods]] - and then decides to [[CampGay get his camp on.]] He earns a DopeSlap for it.
14	** Pretty much any scene with Fei-Hong's stepmother Ling in the second movie.
15	*** When the bad guys track down Fei-Hong and steal Ling's jewels, [[SkewedPriorities she's more concerned with her mahjong buddies' lack of reaction than the fact that they were robbed]], before yelling "STOOOOOP THIIIIEEEEF" in the most hilariously hamtastic fashion imaginable.
16	** There's an injoke of sorts when Fei-Hong and TheDragon are locked in a grapple, and the bad guy deliberately shoves his chin into Fei-Hong's eyes, nodding to how the actor is already known for his lantern jaw as well as his martial arts. Then Fei-Hong returns the favor by shoving ''his nose'' into the bugger's eyes, basically acknowledging how Jackie's GagNose is the most often mocked part of him (even in Japan where he's practically ''[[PeripheryDemographic deified!]]'')
17	* MemeticMutation:
18	** Thanks to this film, DrunkenBoxing became a widely known meme of Chinese culture and a symbol of "strange Asian martial styles" in the west.
19	** 30% of hands, 70% of legs!
20	** The impressive fighting style of the villain from the second movie becomes this up to WatchItForTheMeme for some new viewers.
21	* NarmCharm: The first film is due to an overabundance of cliches, an incredible LargeHam villain and a bit of strange humor. The second film averted it, since it was created already during the "serious" period in Hong Kong cinema.
22	* {{Sequelitis}}: Most viewers, including Jackie Chan fans, have not heard of ''Drunken Master III'', and for good reason. It is considered a InNameOnly sequel, made after Jackie Chan had a falling out with the director of ''Drunken Master II''. And it barely features drunken boxing to boot.
23	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Only for '''Drunken Master III'''. While the first two ''Drunken Master'' films are classics on their own right and fondly remembered, the third movie quickly fades into obscurity because of its baffling change in genre and embracing a more comedic tone.
