Let's be perfectly frank here: Lewis Tan and Zhou Cheng both deserved a lot more screentime in Iron Fist (and there's a lot of talk suggesting that he should have been cast as Danny Rand), but the drunken master sequence was one of the stand-out moments of the entire show.

Hell, it was one of the best moments in the entire Netflix universe.

It was also a very thinly veiled homage to Jackie Chan's Wong Fei-Hong in the Drunken Master movies, with both revelling in silly, gravity and logic defying stunts.
