🎥 Movies of 2021, 59: Drunken Master 2. Watched the original 1994 version. Possibly the best Jackie Chan movie. The role of Wong Fei-Hong is such a good one for him; he gets to be supremely skilled while also bratty and reckless. Even though he was too old for the part, it still works. The care and effort put into the action by both directors is evident. And, unlike his big US breakthrough Rumble in the Bronx, I like how clearly pitched to Chinese audiences this film is – The English are villians, they are stealing our heritage, fight them and their collaborators.
