Okay storyline

Good sller

"Drunken Monkey" is a wild action comedy. Some of the humor does not translate from Chinese, but it is evident that the actors are having a great time. The plot is intricate. Two brothers are in business together. Biao, played by Lau Kar Leung (I think I have this right), is the older of the brothers. He discovers that the security business (similar to the wild west Wells Fargo) is being used by his younger brother for opium trade to the west. Biao has principles and insists his brother stop. This leads to an attempted assassination of Biao in what is a long and at times improbable martial arts romp. Although wounded, Biao is rescued from the river by Xiao Min, the ferry lady, played by Shannon Yao.Meanwhile the story shifts to a different group of characters. Chen Jiaye played by Lau Wing Kin is an artist who is drawing a martial arts manual for all of the poses of the Drunken Monkey kung fu style. Ah De played by Wu Jing is suspended in air on ropes and wiggles like a marionette as his master draws. Wu Jing is a muscular young guy who spends a substantial amount of the film with his shirt off.They bump into the ferry lady in town and follow her raft to the secluded house where she has been nursing the older brother back to health. Ah De copies a motion he observes from this master, AKA Man Bil (Biao) [I think I have this right]. The constable Hong Yi-Hu played by Gordon Liu reports it to the evil younger brother who now believes his older brother is alive. They follow Ad De & his artist master to the ferry lady's house where the final long confrontation begins.The film is fast paced. The emphasis is comedic rather than filled with gore. The poses Ah De gets immitating a monkey are hilarious. Watching this from the West, some of the comedy did not translate and the plot is so intricate that it strains believability. However, "Drunken Monkey" is not boring and often quite charming. Enjoy!

Lau Kar Leung is the king of kung fu movie making. The only one who comes close is Sammo Hung!I am a BIG Lau Kar Leung fan. His screen presence is amazing. I was very disappointed in this film though. The fight scenes were weak and the acting horrible. The only reason I continued to watch this film was because Gordon Li and Lau Kar Leung were in it and I haven't screen a recent movie with them in it in years.The other reason is because I'm a BIG SHAW BROTHERS FAN!

If your a fan of Shaw Brothers films or Liu chia Liang the master choreographer, Gordon Liu a.k.a ,master killa, the next big star Wu jing than this is a got to have movie especially since this is only one of two movies made by shaw brothers after the 80's this Has solid kung fu fights at real speed no wire fu here. this movie is a little corny in the begining but it grows on you real fast Gordon liu and his real life teacher liu chia liang have a battle and from then on Wu Jing starts to shine with his young acrobatic skills compared to the elderly real life kung fu master lia chia liang who is a direct kung fu decendent of Chinese Wong fei Hung.over all this is funny movie with very solid and deadly serious martial arts and i just remembered S.B old school veteran Chi Kuan Chun plays the bad guy in this he is actually in better shape now than when he was younger. you cant miss this one.

Yeah, weren't a good film in my opinion. It was a poor comedy with even poorer martial arts. Nothing more to say on that.

Nice, teachingly good, shows heaps of percepcetoryial ways of moving the human body and very good does it this.Very good movie!

Nun es ist nicht gerade der hellste Stern, der da leuchtet hoch droben im fernöstlichen Eastern-Himmel aber auch net der allerletze Funzel-Meteorit.Es ist kein Klassiker sondern ein recht junges Werk, gedreht 2013. Aber im Stil, der guten alten Hau-Drauf-Streifen. Keine Ahnung in welche Richtung die Schiene eigentlich laufen soll? Der Film wirkt irgendwie seltsam verkrampft, die Handlung das Übliche halt. Drogen, Rache, Familienzwist und Kloppereien. Gut choreografierte Kämpfe werden geboten.Es scheint so als wurde alles mögliche irgendwie rein gequetscht. Hauptsache es tut sich was im Film und um irgendwas geht es.Leider schafft es der Streifen nicht so was wie eine Stimmung aufkommen zu lassen. Er ist unterhaltsam und das war es dann auch. Keine Spannung und Null Dramatik, er blubbert irgendwie so dahin. Für mich wirkt es so als wurde der alte Stiefel irgendwo raus gezerrt, stundenlang weich gekocht und allet Mögliche dazu gerührt ohne Rücksicht ob es passt oder nicht.Es ist nichts Neues zu sehen. Was nicht sooo tragisch wäre. Aber das war alles schon mal da und zwar bedeutend besser.Sehr verwirrend, die Filmbeschreibung auf der DVD-Hülle....Hääää?Bild und Tonqualität sind okay, die Synchronisation....nun ja, geht so.Der einzige Lichtblick sind die Kampfszenen........

Alles bestens 👍

finde den Film einfach klasse und hab ihn nach ewiger Sucherei endlich auf DVD gefunden, werd noch sehr viel Spaß mit dem haben
