Beggar So (Simon Yuen/Yuen Siu-tien) training a young Wong Fei-hung (Jackie Chan) in Drunken Master (1978).
Yuen Siu-tien, father of the film’s director, Yuen Woo-ping, was so popular as Beggar So he played the role in three more films - Dance of the Drunk Mantis (aka Drunken Master Part 2 - which is NOT the same film as Drunken Master ll), Story of Drunken Master, and World of the Drunken Master - before his death in 1979.

A quick Beggar So from Drunken Master because I've just finished watching it and quirky old Kung Fu Masters give me life (as does Jackie Chan) 😅

Two years ago someone asked me for some Kung Fu movie recommendations to introduce them to the genre, I just rediscovered the list on my phone and decided to share. These aren’t necessarily my all time favorites, but rather a primer of essentials that illustrates different eras of the genre, different choreography styles, and some of the biggest names.
1 - Come Drink With Me (1966)
Tumblr media
Very influential. Technically a Wuxia film, but has the more grounded choreography of a kung fu movie. Way ahead of its time. Also, Cheng Pei Pei is a badass.
2 - Enter The Dragon (1973)
Tumblr media
I'm not a huge Bruce Lee fan, but this film is undeniably one of the most important martial arts films of all time. Also, some brief cameos from young Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan
3 - Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978)
Tumblr media
Jackie Chan's first film that he got to really control his image and style of choreography and humor. His breakout film. Also directorial debut of legend Yuen Woo-Ping. Featuring kicking master Hwang Jang Lee as the villain and kung fu film veteran Yuen Siu Tien (Woo-Pings real life father). Also the first "shapes" film to make it onto this list.
4 - 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978)
Tumblr media
As possibly THE greatest choreographer, Lau Kar-Leung has to be mentioned on this list, and 36th Chamber is a perfect example of his filmmaking. Staring his "brother" Gordon Liu, 36th Chamber is the quintessential "training sequence" film.
5 - Wheels on Meals (1984)
Tumblr media
Jackie Chan's choreography style really gelled in the 1980's, blending slapstick comedy with a more modern kickboxing style. This movie features his "brothers" Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. A fight between Jackie Chan and real world kickboxing champion Benny Arquidez is considered one of the best ever filmed.
6 - Fist of Legend (1994)
Tumblr media
A remake of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury. Jet Li is in peak form for this film, and the fights see a delightful blend of florid wushu, brutal kickboxing, and crisp karate. A modern classic.
7 - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Tumblr media
Beautiful, high production, action packed, lovely, and an important, contemporary film that brought new fans to the genre. Also, it helps to bookend this list with another wuxia film featuring Cheng Pei Pei.

40 years ago, Jackie Chan and Yuen Siu-Tien teamed up in one of the most iconic and influential Kung-Fu films of all time: Drunken Master, directed by Yuen Woo-Ping and released in 1978. We are a Beijing Opera troupe and stunt performers, so suffice to say that these films and the performers of that era have influenced us greatly. This tribute film was made to honour the 40th anniversary of Drunken Master, but also to pay homage to many of the legendary actors who have portrayed these characters and the directors that told their stories.

Announcing My 2022 Movie Retrospective: The Fight Choreography of Yuen Woo-ping
Announcing My 2022 Movie Retrospective: The Fight Choreography of Yuen Woo-ping
A central figure in the history of Hong Kong action films, Yuen Woo-ping has enjoyed a fifty-year career putting together some of the most joyfully kinetic cinema in existence. Carrying on the legacy of his father, Yuen Siu-tien, himself an actor in the nascent wuxia and kung fu genres, Yuen the younger has since played an important role in the careers of superstars Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and…

Dance of the Drunk Mantis (1979)
Artwork by Kham
Tumblr media
When DANCE OF THE DRUNK MANTIS came to Thailand in 1979, it was billed as the third and final installment in the DRUNKEN MASTER series (not including the formal DRUNKEN MASTER 2, which came out in the mid-1990′s). And why not? It stars Yuen Siu Tien in his Sam the Seed character and revolves around drunken kung fu. The major difference here is that Jackie Chan had already skipped out. I would imagine his rise to super stardom made him too costly for the relatively low-budget film.
Once again, Thai distributor Krung Kasem Films turned to Kham for the poster art. The central content, featuring Wang Jang Lee and Yuen Siu-Tien sparring with cups of “white lighting” in their fists was redrawn from the original Hong Kong promo material. As were the smaller figures above and in the background. The practice of copying scenes from lobby cards and other promotional material sent by the international distributor was common place in the Thai poster world. There are relatively few posters drawn strictly from the artist’s imagination (though for obvious reasons, those are often the most interesting). Nonetheless, Kham arranged all the characters in this film beautifully, employing that nuanced color pallet for a gentle look. 
As far as my own Thai poster collection goes, this is my favorite Kham work. He did some other masterpieces that have eluded me, but for what I own, this is my fave. 
Once again, the title translates to = The Kid with the Drunken Punch
