Drunken Monkey
Drunken Monkey is that rare oddity of a movie for the aficionado of exotic Chinese martial arts style featuring Monkey Fist and its variation Drunken Monkey Fist.
The story starts with Man Bil (Liu Chia Liang) and his brother Man Pao leading an escort of valuable goods. They both work for the Chun Yuen Escort Agency run by Master Yui Hoi Yeung (Chi Kuan Chun). Unknown to Bil, his brother is in cahoots with Master Yui to smuggle opium into the provinces. One night while they were resting in an inn during an escort Bil saw his brother behaving suspiciously and a stranger and accepting a parcel. As Bil was approaching Man Pao to question him, a stranger appeared suddenly and they fought briefly before the stranger identified himself as Inspector Hung Yat Fu (Gordon Liu) from the capital Nanking on his way to Canton to investigate reports of opium smuggling. The inspector borrowed a horse from Bil for his journey.
