Drunken Master HKR Definitive Edition Blu-ray 2 Disc Set
Synopsis:
Following quickly on the heels of their previous success, Snake In The Eagle's Shadow, Jackie and director Yuen Woo-Ping created what is still considered one of the greatest martial arts films ever produced. Drunken Master presents the legendary Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung in a humorous light, unusual for the time, in an early example of the "kung fu comedy" subgenre.
Devised as a "star vehicle" for Chan to exhibit his gracefully choreographed slapstick, kinetic energy and acrobatic talents, the film represents a milestone in HK Cinema and Jackie's development as a performer. Yes, by today's standards, it's simple and somewhat crude, but it's also bursting with mischievous charm and inventive fight sequences, and a rising star at his physical peak, with something to prove to himself and audiences all over the world. Drunken Master is pure entertainment.

Utilizing the recent 4K restoration, our release of this classic film features audio tracks and special features not found on any other version.
Taking a purist's approach, our version relies on the original Japanese transfer that doesn't have excessive DNR or added film grain. The result is a clean, natural image that looks pristine.
The subtitles:
Our version features a new, exclusive English translation that is a huge improvement over releases put out by other companies. We're purists at Hong Kong Rescue and we prefer subtitles that accurately the true meaning of the dialogue.
