I watched the 1994 Jackie Chan movie "Legend of the Drunken Master". It was the most satisfying action movie I have EVER seen. Not only are there insane stunts by Chan, but some of his opponents are equally crazy. The Kicking Guy makes Chun-Li look like an 80 year old. Not to mention that the drunken fighting scenes are HILARIOUS.
I watched a bio on JC a while ago and apparently the Drunken Master series of movies is where he got famous. He started out as another Bruce Lee imitator but met with little success. Then he had the opportunity to play a Drunken Kungfu fighter and invented all the moves for his own take on the style, and in the process became the "Mr. Niceguy" fighter that he is known as today.
