The Kenblog: Classic Movie Scene #3 – Jackie Chan’s Final Fight In Drunken Master II!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with my next classic movie scene. This edition features one of the greatest final battles in Kung Fu Cinema history. Jackie’s Chan’s final battle in “Drunken Master II” from 1994 is one of the most amazing pieces of fight choreography ever put to film. Chan portrays legendary Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-Hung, a legendary fighter and patriot who fought against Japanese occupation during the turn of the last century. Chan’s Fei-Hung is a more comedic interpretation, with the hero getting his fighting prowess from the consumption of alcohol. When he discovers a plot to steal and smuggle China’s priceless artifacts, Fei-Hung tries to stop them. This leads to the incredible foundry fight you’re about to see here! Enjoy and hopefully this gets to to watch the entire amazing film! So Sayeth The Kendog!
