During the heyday of Hong Kong movies, there were a lot of action guidance sects in kung fu movies, among which Liu Jiaban led the trend. Liu Jialiang’s father Liu Zhan is Lin Shirong’s apprentice, and Lin Shirong is Huang Feihong’s apprentice, so Liu Jiaban is an authentic Hongquan background. Liu Jiaban has been in the film industry in Hong Kong for decades, and his talents include Liu Jiahui, Feng Kean, Ren Shiguan, Jiang David and so on. The Jackie Chan-led Marriage Class emerged in the 1980s. Jackie Chan and Liu Jialiang had previously fought each other. The king did not see the king, but finally they had the only historic cooperation in 1994: "Drunken Boxing 2".


"Drunk Fist 2" is a commemorative work filmed for the establishment of the Hong Kong Action Stunt Actors Association. This is the only industry group composed of martial artists in Hong Kong. Therefore, Liu Jialiang and Jackie Chan have performed together for an unprecedented time and invited a large number of celebrities to guest appearances. Including Ti Lung's guest role as Huang Feihong's father Huang Qiying (but in fact he is only 8 years older than Jackie Chan), Anita Mui, Huang Rihua, Andy Lau, Bao Fang, Qian Jiale, Dong Piao, Weng Hong and so on.


The two major moves, the king of heaven, is doomed to get together this time. Liu Jialiang has extremely high requirements for action. He hopes that the film can convey the realism of martial arts and emphasize martial arts. However, Jackie Chan feels that the audience needs more drunken fist movements, so the two split in the later stage of filming. Liu Jialiang left the crew and became a family class. Independently completed the end of the film war.


The Korean star Pak Ho-Sung was originally planned to be the biggest villain, but because of his ankle injury, the final battle could only be completed by Jackie Chan’s old buddy Lu Huiguang. He played against Jackie Chan with superb leg skills and performed a classic. war. This 7-minute martial arts show took more than a month (this is Lu Huiguang's statement, IMDb's introduction said that it took a total of 3 months), which is unimaginable for ordinary movies. Jackie Chan fought hard to perform in the film, and personally jumped into the coals of Baidu Celsius, and suffered serious injuries to his mouth and tongue.


The film was released during the Spring Festival. Due to the real kung fu + comedy elements, the box office broke through 40 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking 13th among the 50 Hong Kong-produced films with the highest box office ever in Hong Kong, and won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Action Guidance double award, but this award is given to Liu Jialiang. The main reason is not only because Liu Jialiang is the original action director, but also because he also designed the fights in the middle of the film, including Liu Jialiang and Jackie Chan using a spear under the train car, Jackie Chan fights the axe gang and other exciting passages, so the award is also Deserved.


In 2000, "Drunken Master 2" was released in the United States, dubbed in English and re-written the soundtrack, but apart from the ending credits, this version is basically the same as the Hong Kong version. The film made a box office of 11.54 million US dollars. On March 13, 2001, Dimen Company released a DVD of this film. In addition to the feature film, there is also an interview with Jackie Chan. Since then, China Record Dejiala has released a DVD with the original Cantonese voice track, but the feature film is immutable. . The Hong Kong three-zone version of the final fighting scene is actually less than the one-zone version.

On September 15, 2009, Bowei Company released "Drunken Master 2" Blu-ray of American Zone A (all-region format). The Blu-ray capacity of this BD25 format is 24.9G, of which the feature film is 22.60G, and the average bit rate is 22.09Mbps. In terms of audio track, there are ten separate spectrums. The original Cantonese audio track has been castrated. There are only three dubbing tracks in English, French, and Western. The English audio track is in dts-HD format. However, it is worth mentioning that the English dubbing was performed by Jackie Chan himself. It should also have been specially produced by him in order to enter Hollywood. As for the tidbits, the interview with Jackie Chan in 6 minutes and 35 seconds is included.
