Drunken Master II (Chinese: 醉拳二; Cantonese Yale: Jui Kuen II) is a 1994 Hong Kong kung fu film coordinated by Lau Kar-leung and Jackie Chan, who stars as Chinese society saint, Wong Fei-hung. It was Chan's first customary style hand to hand fighting film subsequent to The Young Master (1980) and Dragon Lord (1982). The film was discharged in North of America as The Legend of Drunken Master in 2000.
The film is a subsequent meet-up Chan's 1978 film Drunken Master, coordinated by Yuen Woo-ping, however is in fact a reboot and not an immediate storyline spin-off. Another film, Drunken Master III (1994, coordinated by Lau Kar-Leung) highlights little in a similar manner as either this or its antecedent, and is not viewed as a spin-off. In 2005, Drunken Master II was named one of the main 100 best movies ever by Time magazine.
