Jackie Chan's 1994 sequel that proved to be arguably the greatest work of his career.
Plot: Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung (Mr Chan), stumbles upon a plot by the British consul to smuggle Chinese artefacts out of the country. With the help of his family and a few mates, Fei Hung must retrieve the national treasures, using his unique skills in Drunken Boxing- a style of martial arts that actually improves the more you get stinkin' wasted. These are the only fights you'll see where bystanders throwing wine at you will enhance your chances of winning.
With no Health & Safety regulations in China, all stunts become no holds barred action. If all that ain't enough, Drunken Master II also boasts possibly the largest Turnip in movie history, ducks on a train (insert Sammy L reference here...) and guidelines on how to disguise Mahjong as Gynaecology.
Line of the film; "What move was that?"
"Angel Pisses".
Budget: $2,000,000
Gross: $311,000,000
Fun Fact: The actor that plays the main villain in the final scene is Ken Lo, Mr Chans' ex-bodyguard.
