Drunkan master

**Drunken Master** is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film directed by Yuen Woo-ping and starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu-tien, and Hwang Jang-lee ¹. The movie was a commercial success in Hong Kong, earning two and a half times the amount of Yuen's and Chan's previous film, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow ¹. It is considered an early milestone of the kung fu comedy genre and helped make Jackie Chan famous in Asia ¹. The plot revolves around Wong Fei-hung, a young and mischievous son who runs into a series of troubles. His father arranges for Beggar So to train his son in martial arts. Beggar So has a reputation for crippling his students during training so Wong flees from home in an attempt to escape his punishment. Penniless, Wong stops at a restaurant and tries to con a fellow patron into offering him a free meal. As Wong was about to leave after his meal, he discovers that the man is actually the owner of the restaurant. He fights with the owner's lackeys in an attempt to escape. An old drunkard nearby is drawn into the fight and helps him escape. The drunkard turns out to be Beggar So (who is known in some versions of the film as Sam Seed, So-Hi or Su Hua-chi), the Drunken Master ¹. The film popularized the Zui Quan ("drunken fist") infused with unique animal fighting style ¹. It spawned an official sequel, Drunken Master II (1994), and several spin-offs .
