Blending interesting martial arts moves with slapstick comedy, Drunken Master has created a new genre of comedy kung fu. Jackie plays Fei-hung, the rebellious son of a kung fu master. To give him a lesson, his father apprentices him to another master named So Hi, who has a unique "drunken" fighting style. In the movie, Jackie shows his astounding kung fu techniques and natural humour. The fight sequences are so well arranged, which are dizzying and amazingly choreographed by director Yuen Woo Ping.
