Interesting. We just watched Drunken Master (after seeing you had rated highly on Netflix).

"And, uh, this guy's the drunk guy who does this cool move"). Something about the pace didn't work for me, but I was entertained.

So how does #2 compare?
What you watched is Drunken Master 2. When it was finally released in the United States (I'd seen it on bad VHS transfer as early as 1994 without subtitles or dubbing) it was under the name Legend of the Drunken Master. The first Drunken Master movie was made back in 1978 and is the movie that made Jackie Chan as star in Hong Kong but isn't all that great by timeless standards. But they couldn't just call it Drunken Master 2 since nobody in the United States ever had the official opportunity to see the first one.

Similarly, when Supercop was released here it was just as Supercop, even though it is actually Police Story 3: Supercop but the first two were never released in the United States.
