I'm trying to track down a version of Jackie Chan's 1978 Kung-Fu classic 'Drunken Master'.

I had a fantastic 'Made in Hong Kong' version on VHS, which appears to have gone missing from my collection.

All the versions i can find seem to have a completely different dub on them, and they're not a patch on the version i remember (and am virtually word perfect on).

For example, in 'my' version, Hwang Jang Lee's character is known as 'Thunderfoot', the 'other' versions all call him 'Thunderlegs', Siu Tien Yuen is known to me as 'Sam Seed' whereas it's 'Su Hua' in the others, Hsia Hsu should be 'The Stick King', not 'The Bamboo King' etc.

There is much karma waiting to be bestowed upon the person who can find it for me, especially if it's a torrent. Frankly, even a version on YouTube would be good enough for me.

I am having some serious Dajavue(sp) with this thread Neutral

You've posted this before, and in that thread I told you I hadn't long deleted from the pc...

Wouldn't mind watching it again myself now...

Kiss my face!!

I have such a shit memory that a) i completely forgot i've posted it before, b) forgot that it was missing because it went to the tip with a load of mrsgixers old VHS's, and c) that i found a YouTube link.

I've given you karma anyway, because you prompted me to use BCF's search function and found the original thread i made back in March last year.

Anyways, the real version can be found here.

....Robert Wong, this is your last day on earth......


Dance!

I still prefer subtitles to dubs. Unless it's a particular breed of specialist 70's F grade dodgy martial arts flick.

Chop-socky style kung-fu movies should always be dubbed, and badly too.

For example, i was re-watching the 1981 Sammo Hung classic 'The Prodigal Son' the other day - the line where Sammo counsels Yuen Biao to attack his opponents weak points: 'the eyes, the throat.....the knackers!' just wouldn't be the same in subtitles.

I borrowed this from a friend recently and it was dubbed. Amazing showcase of skills…Jackie is the don.

“Hey man, you’re the cats ass!”

Laughing Love it Thumbs Up

Also watched Sammo’s ‘Magnificent butcher’, that film is top notch.
