Top 100 Martial Art Fight Scenes Of All Time – #5 Drunken Master II End Scene

At number 5 on our list is a fight scene which in our eyes is not only one of his best fight scenes but also one of the most important of Jackie Chan’s amazing career thus far.

The scene is from the film Drunken Master II aka Legend of Drunken Master. The film was originally released in 1994 but then further released to US audiences in 2000. It was only the second Hong Kong produced Chan film to receive a US cinema release (after ‘Rumble In the Bronx’) and whilst Rumble In the Bronx was the film that finally unleashed Jackie Chan to the western world with his crazy stunts and amazing work ethics; It was Drunken Master which proved that Chan (even at the age of 40 + !! when the film was released) could still kick ass!
