Shaw Bros' DRUNKEN MONKEY is the first real martial arts movie of the
new millennium. Legendary Lau Kar Leung directs skilled fighter Wu Jing
(a younger classmate of Jet Li) and newcomer Shannon Yao in this actioner.
The story of "Drunken Monkey" takes place in China during the early
1930s. Master Wen Bail learns that his brother is using their security
company for illegal activities. A confrontation between the brothers
leaves Wen Biao missing and presumed dead. Meanwhile, two adventurers
meet a ravishing kung fu beauty who is secretly being trained by Master
Wen Biao. The two heroes soon join forces with the female fighter and
Wen against the evil brother's gang.
