This is a fun martial arts movie! The Drunken Boxing Style is absolutely fun to watch. The way Jackie Chan moves his body while in the Drunken Boxing Style is simply amazing. He is fluid, graceful and at the same time, comical.
The action scenes are choreographed wonderfully and there is a terrific scene where Chan's character and the guard are up against an entire ax gang all by themselves. Jackie Chan, of course, is a master of humor. The movie is funny, and the plot actually works. It moves along quickly and doesn't disappoint.
The movie has a good re-watchability factor, too. It's fun to watch over and over again. :)
Some people might be upset about the beating Chan's character receives from his father and the treatment of the step-mom. Personally, I think it's in character with the time period of the movie and the step-mom, to me, seems like a comic and opportunistic character.
Well, I loved the movie and highly recommend it.
