23. DRUNKEN MASTER II
Directed by Lau Ka Leung (1994)
You know how masterful editing is essential in the making of a great action film? Well, Jackie Chan is the exception to that rule. What you want out of a Jackie Chan movie is for the director to put the camera on a tripod, grab some coffee, and just let the Hong Kong phenom work. Toss martial arts, slapstick, stunts, and Jackie's willingness to risk ridiculous bodily harm just to entertain you (look at the outtakes to see just how close he comes to a full-body cast) in a blender, sprinkle with a dash of Chinese legend about a guy who fights better when he's drunk, and you've got a kung fu classic.
