Jackie Chan, you're a jerk!

Drunken Master — 3.5/5

I have a deep love for Drunken Master II, and here I am realizing that I've never seen the first one. It's interesting to see Jackie Chan make a name for himself as an asshole version of the self we later knew. We Americans mostly only saw the smiling face against the impossible circumstances, the nice guy, and here he is being largely responsible for his own troubles. He's a stinker. It's fun to see him at the start, but I do think I prefer the later character he grew into, when he used primarily his innocence as his offensive weapon.
