You won't be disappointed!

Admirable film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

By 1983 everything that could be done in a martial arts movie had been done a thousand times. As the genre was about to be pronounced dead a few creative geniuses like John Woo, Jackie Chan, and the Yuen clan reinvented it. This movie is sometimes called "Miracle Fighters 2". It is not a sequel but a continuation of the creativity of the Yuen clan.Though they were geniuses in martial arts also they used practical effects to reinvent the genre. (A practical effect is a special effect produced physically and this was the only way to do it back then.) In this movie they used illusions that real stage magicians used, such as the ring trick at the end, and greatly elaborated. Rings were often used as weapons in martial arts movies and I hate them because they are not real weapons and mostly ineffective. The Venoms used rings but they were mostly acrobatic props. Here, the Yuens start with the genuine stage magician linking rings trick and raised it exponentially plus made an effective martial arts weapon.They were also geniuses in the ancient Chinese art of puppetry. The wire work of lifting fighters into the air had been done for decades but the real creativity came with applying puppetry to the props too.Chinese also knew all about fireworks and the Yuens used plenty of chemical reactions in their effects.Some might say there was not enough fighting in this movie. Yes, there was less than usual for a typical martial arts movie. In my opinion, it didn't need any more fighting, quality beats quantity. I rate this 8 out of 10 and it has my highest recommendation.

This completely outrageous martial arts comedy is unlike anything ever before filmed, a non-stop and pacy outing combining tons of comedy, men in drag, loads of special effects, and more crazy nonsense than you can shake a stick at. It's certainly a memorable viewing experience and one of those films you can enjoy over and over again. The movie picks up the reins of the '80s Hong Kong craze for wizardry, monsters, and bodily deformity, wrapping it up in an age-old tale of two innocents fighting against the forces of darkness.The result is an almost constant stream of martial arts action - superbly choreographed by one of the masters, Yuen Woo Ping, whose choreography is up there with John Woo and Enzo G. Castellari (the final fight with the steel rings of death is excellent stuff) - and lots of comedy, ranging from cultural jokes to silly humour to slapstick, often varying in between, and outrageous over-the-top acting and dubbing. Where else do characters gloatingly shout "I'm evil!"? The acting is tongue-in-cheek, therefore fitting the style and atmosphere of the film well, with kudos especially going to the guy playing Rat-Face, complete with buck teeth and a goofy face. The good guys are clumsy yet funny, the women are beautiful and the bad guys dastardly. Where this film scores and becomes a classic is in the fantastic elements of the plot.Monsters, magic, and bizarre antics combine in an unholy union to provide some completely outrageous material. Amongst other things, the film offers people wall-climbing, disappearing into each other, hiding in tiny boxes, shrinking, and fighting each other using the burning palm technique. Then there's a memorable toad monster, a blood-thirsty vampire, a fire-breathing puppet, and some grossness involving a face scraping and a walk-on-nails that goes gruesomely wrong. These factors combine to make this a breathless, hilarious, and utterly engaging action comedy, with everything gelling together superbly.

Shaolin Drunkard is a great 80's Kung Fu movie. From the sound effects to the special effects, this one entertains the entire time. I only have one complaint; I can't find the original Chinese version. The voice-over isn't terrible (probably makes it funnier), but it would be interesting to see with sub titles. Probably not a Spoiler, but some of my favorite scenes include: The opening scene where the drunkard walks up a wall and sticks a straw into it and makes wine flow out. The toy monkey on a string that pees poison into the guards pipe resulting in a cool looking red smoke. The magic battle with the street performer. One guy uses "the devils mirror" and a needle to extract poison out of a bystander's back tumor.The Poison Toad The fire-breathing Kung Fu puppet The pyramid wine drinking contestThe whole movie is just craziness. It will blow your mind. If you can find this film, buy it and enjoy over and over again.

From the same people who made DRUNKEN WU TANG, and featuring some of the same characters, this is early 80s Hong Kong Kung fu, with blood-drinking demons, giant frogs, flaming fists, giant fire-breathing puppets, and a very surreal mumenchanz-like butt mask Kung Fu fight. Back flips and mayhem, a giant toad with glowing eyes and a tongue that stretches across the room and breaks a table, and a gruesome "walk on the nails" scene. whew.At one point, the bad says: "Ha Ha Ha!!! I'm evil!!!"Rat Face(the Drunken Toaist) drinks and fights with gusto, takes a sand shower, and always manages to survive to drink again.If you like wilfully weird (Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dali, Luis Bunuel) check this one out.
