Drunken Monkey in the Tiger's Eyes (Drunken Master) (1978) introduces Jackie Chan as the defiant offspring of a kung fu expert. To instill discipline, his father sends him to train under So Hi, a master with an unconventional "drunken" martial arts style. Initially resistant to So Hi's demanding routines, Jackie flees but is severely embarrassed by a hired assassin known as Thunderleg. This humiliation prompts Jackie to return and dedicate himself to his training. When Thunderleg is later tasked with eliminating Jackie's father, Jackie must utilize all his newly acquired skills to protect his family. While Drunken Monkey in the Tiger's Eyes (Drunken Master) (1978) showcases Jackie Chan's early blend of action and humor, it is the breathtaking kung fu sequences that truly shine, culminating in a spectacularly choreographed final battle directed by Yuen Woo-ping.
