The Legend of Drunken Master (1994)
Everything is better with booze. Parties, holiday gatherings, school, hell, this podcast would be better with a buzz. Turns out Jackie Chan’s Fei Hung is unstoppable when he’s fucked up. He’s so bad ass when he’s juiced up and in his cups they made 2 movies about it. This week we’re completing his story and doing the second movie - THE LEGEND OF DRUKEN MASTER

Hell yeah
American Indian Dogs are actually a breed lol
Rodgers' Miss Piggy kills me every time. Don't you DARE OVERUSE IT NOW, RODGERS!!!!
Missing Stangerbot...
There are always two full size pigs walking in the park I live next to. Oddly enough a bridge just collapsed there this morning, I’m no causation expert but those pigs are fucking massive.
Hello, I too live near Frick Park!
Watching the biggest little farm during the peak initial pandemic, being suffocated living in the city….that shit really hit hard. I kinda rolled my eyes at some rich yuppie couple trying to rough it at first, but it was really a fantastic story and doc. Oh and great ep as always, love you guys even if you repeat weekly.
“Renegade” or “Walker: Texas Ranger”?
Whoever wins, we lose.
Can’t decide if the best weapon was the floppy train spear, the giant matcha whisk, or the box full of snakes. This might be my new favorite Jackie Chan movie
Hey, aren't you the syrette freak? You're a legend!
After this ep I went and listened to some Anita Mui (hot step-mom) on spotify and she was super prolific, like over 30 albums
Talespin wasnt the future. It was the 30s.
Yes. The very same 1930s that we all remember learning about in history class. With all the talking bears who piloted aircraft.
The Legend of Drunken Master episode, commonly known as the "Pedo Stanger" episode,
As a 47-year old, white male in New England: I appreciated Stanger's Kitty Dukakis joke.
Did anyone else remember a different dub? I feel like I got this on vhs years ago and they edited a lot of the more alcoholism stuff out. I may be completely gaslight myself though.
DVD had a 6 minute interview/behind the scenes thing, it is also on YouTube if you're interested. Some notes that stood out; 6 minute fight scene takes about 4 months. Fights are created when they get to the set, not scripted before. Audience wants the real thing, they don't want to see Jackie be Superman. Also, drunken master was real tough because he had to have red face makeup on to show he is drunk, sweating from fight causes makeup to run and then turn his shirt red. So he would sneakily wipe sweat before it got to shirt, I think in the middle of drunken movement he would wipe face.
Internet guy is such a good bit
I heard Scrooge McDuck pays the Rescue Rangers to run around in his ass. The tape is locked in the vault. Great movie. Great episode. Later.
If anyone is looking to see some more fun Jackie Chan movies, I'd recommend Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever. Both include Chan's childhood friend Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung. I personally like Wheels on Meals better, but Dragons Forever ending fight is one of the best. Biao and Hung also made two really great movies without Chan. Millionaire Express which is just bizarre fun. The second is Eastern Condors, an odd Dirty Dozen type where Chinese prisoners are sent to Vietnam to destroy a nuclear missile. Also crazy fun.
Wheels on Meals rips! The fight with Benny the Jet is one of the best ever.
Malone (1987) is on Amazon Prime.
Yo Stanger, what is Goblin Mode? The first hit on Google is an Urban Dictionary sex act. You should also be incorporating Bruce Buffer's other mundane hype announcement, "We are Live!!!" into your arsenal.
Also I think the big Gabrus looking Mickey character you guys were talking about is Big Pete, aka Peg Leg Pete. He was originally Mickey's foil and as such is a cat, although in a lot of other recent stuff he's Goofy's rival/bully.
I was surprised to hear Ben ties up his reactive dog while he goes in stores. Maybe its different in LA but here its pretty frowned upon. I have 2 dogs and I would never ever leave their dumbasses tied up, even though they have pretty mild demeanors. I know Ben reads the comments and roasts people for comments like this but oh well. Debate me like Matt Besser on I4H I dont care.
"Maybe its different in LA" - It is
My wife gave me a 4/10 at giving massages. Apparently you can use your nose "too much" to activate the pressure points.
True Lies ep slaps if you’re releasing a freebie on High and Mighty
Fantastic Episode! Great tangents and all that shit. i also started micro-dosing today
Initial reaction? How you feelin'?
Eeesh…these comments stink
Wow, someone’s being a real Chad or Alex from Double Impact.
Over fishing is a problem and a little thing that will help is to buy better products. Wild planet canned tuna is pole caught tuna and is better for the seas and oceans.
I've been watching the Miami Vice series for the first time. The pilot, let a lone the series is definitely ActionBoyz gold!
Huey, Duey and Louie have an Aunt that is a chicken in Once Upon a Christmas so I think there is some fowl dingle mingling in the Mickey multiverse.
"Where are my boys?! Where are my kisses!!??" I think she is a duck just a particularly large and busty one
I listen to some eps a few times and still don't remember stuff like the Darren Aronofsky story. I'm dumb as fuck though
The Mandolin Guy chose the worst possible week to take time off.
Maniac Mansion was based on an Nintendo game. When I was a teenager in the mid 2000s, I got into finding and buying old Nintendo games. The cartridge for Maniac Mansion talked about the TV show and I couldn't believe that someone made a TV show based on a video game property in 1990. I'm sure it sucked. 100% think it'd be a hit now though. *Social Media Voice*, "Maniac Mansion. Maniac Mansion. New Season on Apple+"
I remember being confused about that as a kid because that was before it was even conceivable that a video game could be adapted. I started watching Family Channel because they showed Adam West Batman basically non-stop right before the Tim Burton movie was released https://youtu.be/UfH9H04jy78
There was a drunken boxer in DOA too, Brad Wong, was a blast to play with.
Man, as a dog walker in Brooklyn. All the talk of dumb owners hits close to home. So many idiots don’t get signals or body language. I’ll tighten up my leash, get in between my dog and theirs, and try and keep as much distance as I can when passing someone else with a dog. And they just give theirs as much slack and let it cross the sidewalk to get to us. And I have to be all polite and say “sorry they’re aggressive on leash” but I want to say is “what they fuck, I couldn’t be clearly putting as much distance between us and your dog unless I crossed the street. Pick up on the cues my guy”
Had some free time this weekend so I finally finished a little editing project where I took both versions of Stanger's near-death experience and edited them together from ABZ and Dumbbells. https://youtu.be/sePouLuoMZM

We got a Stanger all-timer in this ep. Stanger: do you think ducks and chickens get along? Rodgers: … Gabrus: … Stanger: …chickens are a little tough, right? I mean…maybe..
Stanger (I'm pretty sure he's the one who brought it up): There is a movie where Anita Mui plays Jackie's love interest. It's called Miracles, or The Canton Godfather, and it's his remake of a Frank Capra movie called Pocketful of Miracles. It's longer and has a bit less action than most of his 80s stuff, but it's pretty good. https://www.filmstories.co.uk/features/celebrating-the-films-of-jackie-chan-anita-mui/
That movie's known by a third title (and it's my favourite): Mr Canton and Lady Rose. I like it a lot. It's really charming and Anita Mui has an awesome musical number.
The fighting in the movie is so insane. The last fight with the tall kicky dude is one of my favorites of all time.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid! So excited to listen!
Happy Chan-uary! Or maybe Janu-ackie!
"You're my step-mom. What are you doing? My dad said I can't use drunken boxing."
I went on a date to see this in theaters. We went to Arby's before, and I never got a 2nd date.
If she wasn’t soaked after that date, she didn’t deserve you anyway.
Here's a video of someone breaking down the Cantonese version and the dub side by side, the generic score and shitty sound effects they slapped on for the dub really do make the fight scenes pop less. https://youtu.be/0A1vMKS6jFg I know subs vs dubs is the most tedious bullshit discussion out there and most people just have their preference, but if you love this movie and have only seen the dub, do yourself a favor and check out the subbed version sometime.
I was quite bummed after renting it on Amazon that it was only the dubbed version. But oddly, kinda loved the step moms v.o.
I was going to defend Chan a little on HK on the basis that the government pretty much owned him after his son did 6 months for drugs in 2014 when he could’ve faced the death penalty but I discovered he was openly advocating against “too much freedom” in 2009! Worst take by an action star?
I don’t think the Hong Kong Protest issue is very black and white at all (compared to say Israel and Palestine) and western media loves to make China a boogieman but Jackie does seem like a weirdo politically and personally regardless… still putting him in the top 10% of action stars as people most likely
