Very disappointed :(

That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

By 1983 everything that could be done in a martial arts movie had been done a thousand times. As the genre was about to be pronounced dead a few creative geniuses like John Woo, Jackie Chan, and the Yuen clan reinvented it. This movie is sometimes called "Miracle Fighters 2". It is not a sequel but a continuation of the creativity of the Yuen clan.Though they were geniuses in martial arts also they used practical effects to reinvent the genre. (A practical effect is a special effect produced physically and this was the only way to do it back then.) In this movie they used illusions that real stage magicians used, such as the ring trick at the end, and greatly elaborated. Rings were often used as weapons in martial arts movies and I hate them because they are not real weapons and mostly ineffective. The Venoms used rings but they were mostly acrobatic props. Here, the Yuens start with the genuine stage magician linking rings trick and raised it exponentially plus made an effective martial arts weapon.They were also geniuses in the ancient Chinese art of puppetry. The wire work of lifting fighters into the air had been done for decades but the real creativity came with applying puppetry to the props too.Chinese also knew all about fireworks and the Yuens used plenty of chemical reactions in their effects.Some might say there was not enough fighting in this movie. Yes, there was less than usual for a typical martial arts movie. In my opinion, it didn't need any more fighting, quality beats quantity. I rate this 8 out of 10 and it has my highest recommendation.

This completely outrageous martial arts comedy is unlike anything ever before filmed, a non-stop and pacy outing combining tons of comedy, men in drag, loads of special effects, and more crazy nonsense than you can shake a stick at. It's certainly a memorable viewing experience and one of those films you can enjoy over and over again. The movie picks up the reins of the '80s Hong Kong craze for wizardry, monsters, and bodily deformity, wrapping it up in an age-old tale of two innocents fighting against the forces of darkness.The result is an almost constant stream of martial arts action - superbly choreographed by one of the masters, Yuen Woo Ping, whose choreography is up there with John Woo and Enzo G. Castellari (the final fight with the steel rings of death is excellent stuff) - and lots of comedy, ranging from cultural jokes to silly humour to slapstick, often varying in between, and outrageous over-the-top acting and dubbing. Where else do characters gloatingly shout "I'm evil!"? The acting is tongue-in-cheek, therefore fitting the style and atmosphere of the film well, with kudos especially going to the guy playing Rat-Face, complete with buck teeth and a goofy face. The good guys are clumsy yet funny, the women are beautiful and the bad guys dastardly. Where this film scores and becomes a classic is in the fantastic elements of the plot.Monsters, magic, and bizarre antics combine in an unholy union to provide some completely outrageous material. Amongst other things, the film offers people wall-climbing, disappearing into each other, hiding in tiny boxes, shrinking, and fighting each other using the burning palm technique. Then there's a memorable toad monster, a blood-thirsty vampire, a fire-breathing puppet, and some grossness involving a face scraping and a walk-on-nails that goes gruesomely wrong. These factors combine to make this a breathless, hilarious, and utterly engaging action comedy, with everything gelling together superbly.

Absolutely bizarre. This film wastes no time getting started and never really lets up. Lots of magic kung fu. Lots of crude silly 80's HK humor. Over the top acting, insane set design, lots of puppets and a giant poisonous frog! The filming is fast and cheap so some of the editing and continuity is haphazard. The martial arts are silly most of the time but the last big fight scene is very good in it's own weird way. If you like films with some sort of serious subtext then run fast from this one. Nothing is serious here. At one point early on, the Drunkard sinks into the stone floor until his feet are by his face! No explanation on what's going on or why he's doing it! If you can't stand a film this weird, you've been warned.The same team did Taoism Drunkard and Young Taoism Fighter. All recommended.

I have just seen Drunken Shaolin, and I must admit that it's a very entertaining film.The story is about the drunken guy and a young man (chuen yan yuen). The young man joins a contest whose winner will marry a beautiful girl, however , he finds out that the girl has an ugly spot on the right side of her face. Therefore, he escapes, and the girl doesn't give up so easily, she chases after him in order to get married with him. The girl's father meets an evil man and then all the fun begins.The jokes are great, the cheese factor is maxed, the fights are well fought and there are also some funky monsters. Oh, I have almost forgotten, the old drunken man is silly and funny as hell, so far he is the funniest drunken man on this drunken trilogy staring Chuen Yan Yuen. I would like to recommend it every fan of cheesy kung fu movies who isn't afraid of watching movies that the average person won't usually watch. Highly Recommended!
