Okay, so honestly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of action, and martial arts rank right up there at the top of the list of what I don’t enjoy. That being said, since meeting Mike, I’ve reevaluated lots of things—from winter to the idea of spawning—and action flicks couldn’t be that far behind!

So when we first started watching Drunken Master, it was really annoying, like a combination of the Three Stooges and Rush Hour. But it got better. The slapstickiness of the first half of the film was offset by actual humor in the second half. I can see how this flick has influenced lots of future action films, and I’m looking forward to seeing this influence as we finish with 1978 and head forward to the present!
