REVENGE OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER is less a sequel to the Jackie Chan hit and more of a random spoof of it. It was made by Godfrey Ho, who never seemed to sit still in the 1980s, churning out martial art flavoured film after martial art flavoured film. He was a money maker more than a film maker, but a lot of his films provide surprising - if cheesy - entertainment. This film follows the template of DRUNKEN MASTER in having a young student mentored by a crazy old drunk guy, although with it being a Godfrey Ho film and all, a pack of 'blood ninjas' are added to the storyline. Plus a young woman and a bounty hunter, who are involved in a rather dubious rape sequence which is out of place in the production.
There's a lot of action here, some of it quite acceptable, as well as a lot of goofy humour. The main character is played by one Johnny Chan, who seems to have been manufactured for this movie because he certainly wasn't heard of before or after. He has some skill with an acupuncture kit and one of his bizarre hobbies is shooting people in a specific spot that makes them burst into laughter. It's that kind of movie, and the absolutely terrible English dubbing either adds further to or detracts from the already surreal experience, depending on your taste for it.
