Some excuses are infinitely better than others.
The Legend of Drunken Master is just an excuse for Jackie Chan and his Hong Kong stuntmen to show off their amazing skills. They don't employ the kind of wire work that made The Matrix so visually astonishing and they wouldn't think of using stop-motion cameras to create illusions of movement. What you see in The Legend of Drunken Master is pure acrobatic wizardry. The same wizardry does not find its way into the screenplay or performances, but ultimately that's a small price to pay. The Legend of Drunken Master is a sequel to Chan's 1978 breakout movie Drunken Master.
