A Meng Fei Classic

"this movie has great actors Meng Fei and Chen Sing most naotably a young man learns the Drunken Gods style from a old Drunkard the bad guys see the young man using the style and try to use him to find the old master who was believed to have been killed by their master. be warned this movie tries to be funny and suceeds for the most part. but like most Wu Ma's movies it has a depressing feel with a sad ending."
Old "skool' kung fu!!

"Without saying much about Kung Fu of 8 Drunkards,,,,,,When I rate a flick, I usually rate it for the actual Kung fu, picture quality and plot. This movie had amazing old school kung fu, the plot was acceptable and easy to follow and the dvd picture and choreography was good. Therefore, I give this flick 4 stars overall,,,movies like 7 Grandmasters or Mystery of Checkers boxing get 5 stars in my book!"
Crap

"I had heard this was pretty good, but I expect more out of Johhny Wang. Mang Fei is obviously trying to copy Jackie, and doesn't do a bad job, but who can't act better than Jackie? This movie actually loses momentum during the fight scenes. I need to start a pole to see who is a better screen fighter, Cliff Lok, or Mang Fei. That would be one hell fo a long fight, but I think Mang Fei would pull it out by a hair."
Famous Star in Kung Fu classics

"I saw this movie in its original language, and I'm sure this was meant to be funny, and it sure is. Ancle Wu Ma, the director, much more mischievous than any other of his movies, and Meng Fei, the super star, not as HERO as always but still cute, the combination of the two is perfect. You may not believe this boy from China is the same person who played Fang Shi Yu in "The Secret Of The Shaolin Poles" or "The Young Hero Of Shaolin." It is rediculous to compare this one with Drunken Master only because it deals with the drunken style. I would way, it means a lot for a main actor to be good-looking in HK movies."
