This would be true if The Legend of Drunken Master (Drunken Master II) didn't exist. It's the pinnacle of Chan's physical humor (I don't think he could abuse himself like that when he got a little older) and the fight scenes are really just masterpieces. It has the Axe Gang fight to top all Axe Gang fights (arguably I guess) and the final sequence is just flat out amazing. My memory's not totally clear on this but I think the last bad guy was portrayed by Chan's real life bodyguard, and the scene resulted in some actual serious injury to both parties. I wish I was better at describing films so I could do more than just rave about how great this movie is, but you work with what you got I guess.


Yesss.

I'd say the best <fight> choreography in a Jackie Chan movie is actually in Who Am I. Which is -also- with Jackie Chan and Ken Lo (the kick-y leader of his stunt team you're referring to). Drunken Master 2 probably has the best collection of fight + stunt choreography in a martial arts film, but Who Am I has his best actual fighting scene.
