Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

DRUNKEN TAI CHI is FAR less funny than many (any?) of the Old School Kung Fu Comedies that preceded it. One can't just say "F--- physics" and call it Funny; STUPID is what it is. (And, yes, there IS a difference between Funny and Stupid; a sometimes subtle difference that apparently not a lot of Filmmakers understand...) In this one, it's a baby-faced Donnie Chen who dangles endlessly from the harnesses during some terminally interminable scenes. (It's nigh impossible to tell if Chen was ever really any good at the whole Kung Fu thing: he spent so much time swinging from wires and being "enhanced" by cg that an accurate assessment just isn't possible.) And loads of pyrotechnics don't help- not one bit. Take from the equation what makes these movies truly unique- the Human Element, honed to a razor's edge- and what's left isn't worth watching. Wireless was better.

All of movie fans know that there are few movies every year (or maybe every decade) that you can watch more that one time. but i think it's one of them.this is the first movie that Donnie yen has played a major role. I am a huge fan of Donnie's and have seen almost all his movies. I can say that this is one of his bests.The plot is a simple yet functional and interesting one. action scenes are really good and well choreographed. and comedy is also good. it's very difficult to use comedy that can make people with different cultures laugh. but this movie does it. I really laughed at many scenes.If you are an action fan, martial arts fan, Donnie yen fan or even comedy, never miss this movie.I give it 10 out of 10 because it's one of the best movies I've seen.

I have to start off by saying that after seeing Iron Monkey, I went out and looked for every Donnie Yen movie I could find. And after all of that hard work, I realized that they all sucked! From his John Woo-like flop Ballistic Kiss to his numerous appearances (and subsequent deaths) in films like Highlander, Blade 2, and Shanghai Knights, on thing is apparent: Mr. Yen has got to get a new agent. His ability in martial arts is virtually unsurpassed, but the only other movie I've seen that challenges his abilities like in Iron Monkey was Drunken Tai Chi. With a goofy storyline of revenge (surprise!) and training to become stronger than the bad guy, Yuen Woo Ping has expertly melded comedy and action to create a fantastic party movie, something that anyone with a sense of humor can appriceate. Donnie is in top form, which is surprising given that this was his first starring role. He shows fantastic flexibility and a certain charisma that's hard to explain. I seriously hope that Donnie gets together with Yuen Woo Ping and creates another masterpiece soon, because getting killed in every film you're in is no way to make a legacy. (Ask Sean Bean.)

I loved Woo-ping's and Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, packed with some of the best fighting (especialy the drunken boxing) you will ever see on film. The only thing I didn't liked about that movie was the strange and simple humour. Well... Drunken Tai Chi is full of that! Stupid slapstick complete with the stupid sound effects that go along with that. Ok, there are some great fight scenes. Donnie Yen is one of the best kickers! But there is too many unapealing slapstick. And you will never forget the image of Donnie Yen dressed like a puppet BREAKDANCING!And now for the biggest disapointment... THERE IS NO DRUNKEN BOXING! It's about a tai chi master that is drunk most of the time. If you want to see some drunken boxing see Drunken Master, Drunken Master 2!!! or even Jet Li's Last hero in China!
