The idea of having a couple of drinks prior to fighting add an off-beat touch to the disciplined art of kung-fu. The storyline as can be expected is practically nil but the humour is universal enough.

Wong Fei-Hung, the son of a martial arts school master, is nothing like his father. Mischievous and immature, the young man is always getting himself into trouble. As a last-ditch effort, Fei-Hung's father sends him to be disciplined by Beggar So, a master of drunken martial arts.

CineVue by Christopher Machell
Funny, exciting, and a little too long, Drunken Master is as charming as it is unbalanced, but its martial arts choreography remains unmatched.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
As rambling as a Keystone Kops comedy (which it resembles in many ways), it's slapstick to the max, and thus likely to be a bit tedious except to dedicated martial arts fans. [20 Dec 1993, p.F5]
