The Legend of Drunken Master

First!, we MUST remember that Jackie Chan has no stunt double he did everything in his movies and yes sometimes he did get hurt but that didn't stop him so to him is where credit is due.
  Now this movie came out 1994 but it is considered a CLASSIC. This is some of his best work. In the movie Jackie Chan mastered Drunken Boxing which his father forbids but in the end that's the only thing that could save their people
