From a land where honor and tradition reign, comes the legend of a martial-arts hero unlike any other -- the "Drunken Master" -- who can turn just one drink into devastation and humiliation for his enemies. His technique is fast, furious... and powerfully funny.

In turbulent China before World War I, the collapse of the Manchu Dynasty fuels violent uprisings and political chaos--the perfect setting for a grand-scale smuggling ring led by an unscrupulous British consul.

When the ring plots to steal China's crown jewels only one man--legendary "Drunken Fist" master Huang Fei-hung (Chan)--possesses the courage and ferocity to stop the ruthless gang.
