Talk:Drunken Master

Eight Drunken...
Google hits on 'Eight Drunk Gods': 93. Google hits on 'Eight Drunken Immortals', the translation I know the style by: 655. Does anyone have any objection to changing all instances of the former to the latter? -Toptomcat 01:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


 * No objection regarding the wording as such. However, it is a piped link that may need fixing.
 * At present the article states:


 * "The training continues and Wong learns of the old man's secret style, called 'The Eight Drunk Gods' after eight mythological figures the fighting style emulates."


 * "Eight Drunk Gods" links to Zui Quan - aka Drunken Fist / Drunken Boxing.
 * Within Zui Quan article is another link to the Eight Immortals and within that article, a link to the Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup. If this is the actual style he learned, and it can be considered a sub-form of Zui Quan, we should the article be changed to read something more like this:


 * "The training continues and Wong learns of the old man's secret style, a form of Zui Quan called ' The Eight Drunken Immortals ', after eight mythological figures the fighting style emulates."


 * Additionally, the link in the Zui Quan article should probably be to the Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup article instead of the more general Eight Immortals article. Gram 16:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Cast
Added the beginnings of a cast section. Anyone have a more complete cast list? Lordjubatus 04:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

NOT Jackie's first hit film
The intro to this entry says that "Drunken Master" was Jackie Chan's first big hit. It was actually his second - "Snake in Eagle's Shadow" was his first, also directed by Yuen Wo Ping and featuring the same cast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.144.139.116 (talk) 18:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd always been under the impression that his 2 films for Seasonal with Yuen Woo-ping had both been successful, but I figured I'd check the domestic box office takings to give evidence to the claim.

In order of the release dates:
 * Snake and Crane Arts of Shaolin took HK $662,851 at the Hong Kong box office
 * Shaolin Chamber of Death took HK $476,950
 * Snake in the Eagle's Shadow too HK $2,708,748
 * Drunken Master took HK $6,763,793

All subsequent Jackie Chan films took at least HK $1 million HK, but it took until Dragon Lord in 1982 to beat the total taken by Drunken Master.

So, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow was certainly a step up, making 3 to 4 times the amount that his earliest films had made. But Drunken Master was a massive step up again, and when he returned to Lo Wei's studio, the takings for his films dropped again until he left to work for Golden Harvest directly.

Semi-protected edit request on 4 January 2023
I believe the rapper Hona Costello's mention in this article is insignificant as he doesn't have a particularly known following. In addition, he attempted to make his own wikipedia to gain clout, as well as start incendiary clout via tweeting controversial tweets, made to provoke certain people (such as the star wars fandom, or infamously known, his tweet regarding digital artists) JoeyjojoshabaYOU (talk) 06:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
