The first two DVDs I ever bought (before I even owned a DVD player, I had to rent one from my local Blockbuster) were Das Boot and Drunken Master 2.

I think I'll rewatch DM2 before I watch this video.

It is one of the best fight shelves scenes ever done, can't disagree there.

Did watch this video before you posted it, at least? Or, are you one of us?

Rewatched DM2 last night, always a delight.

Just watched the video analysis of the final fight. I didn't agree with it here or there but it made a lot of good points, especially how the camerawork and editing bring out the best in the action.

Waiting to rewatch DM2 before watching the video. No chance yet as I only just now finished watching Imperial Sword for #KungFuSat
