20 Action Films From The 1990s You Must Watch
19. Drunken Master 2 (1994)
Jackie Chan is remembered as one of the most beloved and respected actors of his generation for his warm hearted nature. But it was his ability to choreograph and perform some of the most jaw-dropping fight scenes ever captured on film that made him an international star, and Drunken Master 2 is a prime example of Chan at his best.
Set in early 20th century China, Jackie Chan stars as Wong Fei-hung, who has the extraordinary ability to turn into a master of martial arts whenever he gets drunk. This quite bizarre skill comes in very handy when Wong discovers that the British consul is trying to smuggle numerous Chinese artifacts out of the country.
As you would expect from a Jackie Chan film, there is plenty of humour. But that does not take anything away from the spectacular stunts performed by Chan throughout the film. What’s more is that the stunts continue to get more ambitious as the film goes on, and by the end, you will have a smile plastered to your face, while wondering how he was able to pull off so many amazing stunts in such quick succession.
