Since a lot of people have asked this (and the video is getting some additional views recently): the alcohol used by the main character is very likely ethyl alcohol. Why? This scene happens in a British-owned steel factory and ethyl alcohol is used to clean impurities from steel after it's washed with water.
@@timlo3033 Yes. Ethanol (the common name) is the same alcohol we have in our drinks. Of course, this is probably a >96% purity version. Still drinkable, but obviously gets you smashed near instantly. Some places do offer drinks with >90% alcohol in them. For reference, absinthe generally has a 70% alcohol concentration.
It's the kind of stuff screenwriters and directors need to learn how to use more often. I'm personally disappointed by how Hollywood has influenced movie-making, rendering it rather unsurprising and devoid of grit.
@@StevXtreme A lot of directors and screenwriters seriously need lessons on timing, be it comedic or action. Jackie mastered both and it shows in his craft, he knows perfectly well what a scene needs to work. He isn't averse to taking risks either which is the biggest lesson Hollywood should adapt to. (His long list of borderline crippling injuries is a testament to it.) I get that profit is important and it's the driving force behind the movie industry but the risk averse attitude leads to movies that copy each other, milking elements that are deemed successful. "This movie with shakycam was successful? MORE SHAKYCAM EVERYWHERE!!!" "People liked quips after actions? Quickly, rewrite every script to be a quipfest!!!" Etc. Not to mention that it seems like every movie HAS to break a billion dollars to even be considered a success and that leads to seeking the widest audience which leads to pandering to the lowest common denominator. And China. A warped sense of what people want (due to the social media and blog/"journalism" scene being represented by a tiny portion of the population) again curbs ideas that are deemed risky. Deadpool might not have been a masterpiece but it was judged unviable yet it proved that the market is more open to new concepts. Joker is another good example, it was heavily bashed as a failure by critics even before it came out. Diversity in ideas is something we shouldn't forget while we crusade for diversity in casting. But I'm rambling and ranting now so I'll just shut up.
He's just fed up with the kick-y shit and he gets to put the fight back on his own terms. I wouldn't want to fight a drunk who just demolished a desk in three punches.
The guy in the grey suite with the glasses was (at the time) Jackie's personal bodyguard in real life. Jackie also choreographed this entire fight scene after firing the original choreographer
Jackie Chan is absolutely fantastic but let's give recognition to Ken Lo. He is incredible as well. His kicks are just out of this world and the balance he has. It's beyond impressive.
Ken Loh and the entire JC stunt team were *ALL* superstars. Think about it... they all had to be as exemplary as was Jackie. 🙂 And Jackie took due care of his team even though no insurance company would EVER cover any of 'em.
@@Dentros21 I hear you but my top 3 fights from Jackie Chan movies is 3. Final fight from Drunken Master 2 2. Casino Fight from Thunderbolt 1995 1. Who Am I Rooftop fight.
A lot of people will say Wheels on Meals has the best final fight, but I contend that this is actually Jackie Chan's finest masterpiece, for the simple strength of its emotional storytelling. Jackie here is injured, outnumbered, desperate, and he needs to sacrifice himself in order to defeat the bad guys and become a true Drunken Master, and the fury he unleashes is awesome but also terrifying. There are also the callbacks to all the moves we've seen before in the movie, only this time there are no names, because we already know them, and because Jackie here is so pissed off and consumed by the fight he doesn't even care about the names or showing off anymore, just beating the shit out of his opponents.
I'd say the final sequence of Police Story tells its story just as well, he goes from wanting to escape with evidence and a witness, to just trying to protect them, to desperation/determination to get them back after seemingly having lost both, and then having that transition into unbridled rage as he keeps getting beaten up by countless goons.
Yeah. Imagine you prepared this stunt, and it took you 3 months to have the brass balls to do it in one shot. And not only that. No flimsy coals with some orange light underneath to make it look like it is burning. It IS a burning pile, and yes, those coals are super hot! Oh. Most other stunts Jackie and his crew do are also realistic. Smashing through a window, and 99 out of a 100 times it is real glass. No sugar glass or anything.
Amazing kicks by Ken Lo, as you may not know he was a Muay Thai champion back in Thailand many years ago. He spoke fluent Thai, Cantonese and Mandarin as well.
No one has matched Jackie's choreography ever since, especially in Hollywood. Ip Man an Ong Bak/The Protector have some great scenes but they don't match the rawness of any of Jackie's scenes, it's because most scenes are too contrived. While Jackie choreographs everything, he literally has to do it or someone gets hurt(usually himself), or close to it - hollywood directing jump cuts too often instead of actually showing the fight scenes because the actors often aren't skilled enough. Modern directing and CGI take all of the suspense out of stunts nowadays. My least favorite Matrix scene.
@Mask Collector you're right, most Hollywood action fight scenes are just trash and its mostly becus the actors involved aren't realy legit martial arts practitioners who can actually do a fraction of the things they do on screen in real life, they're mere performers with pretty faces and that's just about it. What Jackie has been able to put out over the years on the other hand speaks for itself, to this day, holywood doesn't come close to matching, let alone surpassing his level of skill and quality both as an action actor and director. That said, have you watched the Raid movies though? they have some of the best fight scenes you'll see anywhere, guaranteed
This climactic fight had one of the greatest build ups ever. They had crossed paths twice prior but never fought proper, building the anticipation. Then Fei Hung matures over the course of the film and had even vowed to quit drinking. He maintains his promise by drinking industrial alcohol instead which brings him unbelievable power for the final showdown.
@@alexcerda88 (Paraphrased) “Is that my son? What’s happened to him?!” “He is practicing Blind Boxing, sir. All that ethanol he drank, it fried his brain.”
Man the set up is everything for this fight. The burning coals and hot rods set up right there and then. Then he knocks a guy down to the level below him where the hot rods are in a clear frame. Then you think this one guy is down for good and BAM he is back and grabs Jackie by the legs before hitting him with a hot rod. Then you see how the burning rods can cause the wood to catch fire, so the chair being burnt as the rod touches it isn't jarring. Then the comedy. Jackie ends up doing the same things his opponent does to him, from the leg wiggling to using his nose to dig into the eyes. Honestly I don't see why don't more action movies male such clear fights anymore. Budgets for movies are like billions so why can't they produce a billion dollar fight?
Someone here said IMDB posted this fight scene took 4mths of shooting because only 3secs were usable for every daily shoot. Ol man Chan even crawled on the charcoal twice because he felt the 1st attempt didn’t feel right Just WOW
it's because Jackie did it the old way by having multiple takes of the same shots. It's expensive to "keep filming" when literally everybody is on payroll. It just goes to show some people want to make a good movie, others just want to rake in money with no effort. Wow, mystery solved. I'm "hoping" the majority of it is just film crews running out of time and money.
It's because only someone like Jackie could do this kind of stuff, the studio that he worked with for so many years gave him full freedom on set, he had no time or money limitations whatsoever because they trusted him. Unfortunately this cannot be done in Hollywood because the studios are greedy as fuck and the directors needs to stay on schedule all the time. Another factor is that in America no insurance company would cover such crazy stuff like this, that's why they make those fast cuts and that's why they could never do such things even with 200$ million budget. Jackie himself explained this question in an old interview.
Love how at the end part of the fight he started displaying the multiple drunken god styles from the original Drunken Master movie where he fought Hwang Jang Lee. One of my favorites.
The fight is all good and stuff but can we appriciate how much effort Jackie Chan put in this scene? I mean, just look his face and his body language... this man gave all he had into this scene! Respect!
The moment he takes that swig of alcohol and steam comes out his mouth is just awesomely hilarious. This is probably my favorite choreographed fight scene of all time. Just the sheer energy Jackie and Ken brought to this fight is unmatched. My favorite of all Jackie Chan's movie I've seen so far.
What i always liked about Jackie's films the HK ones, is that he is not the "beat 100 guys and win" nonsense. He actually takes one hell of a beating as well before the film reaches a conclusion.
I have the english dubbed version. This fight is still as amazing as ever and I give nothing but love for Jackie and his team of stuntmen. But god damn is it made goofy as hell with the sound effects and especially dialogue. And I absolutley love it. Did you also know that Bryan Cranston voices one of the supporting characters?
Interesting bit of trivia! I never watch dubbed movies so I would have probably never found out this detail. And yes, the goofiness makes the movie what it is: a classic "kung fu" flick
Dubbed versions are worth it for understanding the plot (that is, unless they change some of the lines) but then u need to watch the original with subtitles. :)
This is such an anime power-up moment. When sober, he can handle a few hoodlums, impress the crowds. Drinking alcohol improves his unpredictability with the Drunken Master Style and helps with high-level hoodlums and gets him out of worse scrapes, and drinking industrial-grade fuel allows him to consciously use all of the styles AT FULL STRENGTH, while numbing him from/delaying the damage he's receiving. It's glorious.
I read it different - Jackie didn't win because drinking gives you magic fighting abilities, instead he was desperate and overmatched, and won because he drank enough to stop feeling pain.
His acting skills is so on point! I kinda felt the pain and the struggle after he fell into the fire - so many emotions on display pain, fear, desperate and at the brink of giving up but still fighting. A true legend!
He didn't use all of the Gods. I saw sudden attack to the waist, Cripple Lee, fat Han, drunk with inner strength, flute player with the strongest wrists, drunk with a powerful double kick and su lock, but I didn't see Ms. Ho. He must have wanted the poor guy to have a fighting chance.
Awesome,Awesome kicking from Jackie Chan’s actual real life bodyguard,Ken Lo.Love the boot masters from the old days such as Hwang Jang Lee,Tan Tao Liang,Kwon Young Moon,Casanova Wong,John Liu & Hwang In Sik, but the modern fighters such as Billy Chow and Ken Lo would be up there with the best of them.Honourable mention of all rounders with tremendous kicking skills must go to Yuen Biao and the brilliant Billy Chong.
Maybe the fights against Brad Allen or Benny Urquidez are more visually spectacular, but this one is my favorite for all the background it has. Master Fu Wen Chi was just killed after the assault at the restaurant and this gang had recently humiliated Fei-hung hanging him naked and kicking his ass alongside Tsang in prison, his father having to sell the martial arts school to free Fei-hung, the abuse against the steel factory workers and of course the art trafficking the British were planning. This scene is the perfect climax for all those subjects, it shows perfectly how Fei-hung has matured and you can feel the fury in every punch he hits on John. A master piece of martial arts and action cinema.
Hahaha! I've watched this fight scene many times and I just noticed the bad guy giving the other bad guy the 'thumbs up' when he kicks Jackie into the coals! XD So funny.
2:46 Thumbs up. Jackie Chan built up 3 months worth of courage just for this stunt alone. Yes. Real coals. No CGI, no tricks or stand in or fake shit. Yes. Real blisters and burns at 3:05.
Watching this movies is how I learn how to master Hwoarang from Tekken. Use a lot of fake out kicks as you throw non-stop kicks while keeping distance. I also put some of this into my own personal Martial Art Fighting. Fake out punches. I use to love Realistic Fighting Games like Tekken and Soul Calibur that had a lot of characters using real life fighting styles that the creators put alot of time studying. Along with love watching Kung Fu Movies plus Japanese Taijutsu, Kenjutsu and Bukijutsu techniques base Animes because of the different fighting styles.
I remember my first impression on the guy with the glasses being "Who's this guy?" As if who cares then I saw the foot work and was like daaaaaaame lol dude is a beast. Love this movie 👍
When I watched this as a kid I tried doing that one legged thing around the 1:35 mark and fell down so many times. Now that I'm an adult and workout regularly, I've found that I still can't do it. 🤣

One of the best Jacki Chan's fights ever!
Props for this being the actual original set-recorded dialog too!
Yes, probably best fight in history of movie making. It's brutal, highly athletic, creative, ridicules and funny at the same time. Classics...
One of the greatest fight scene ever recorded
I absolutely love how crazy he is when he’s drunk.
Awesome,Awesome kicking from Jackie Chan’s actual real life bodyguard,Ken Lo.Love the boot masters from the old days such as Hwang Jang Lee,Tan Tao Liang,Kwon Young Moon,Casanova Wong,John Liu & Hwang In Sik, but the modern fighters such as Billy Chow and Ken Lo would be up there with the best of them.Honourable mention of all rounders with tremendous kicking skills must go to Yuen Biao and the brilliant Billy Chong.
Maybe the fights against Brad Allen or Benny Urquidez are more visually spectacular, but this one is my favorite for all the background it has. Master Fu Wen Chi was just killed after the assault at the restaurant and this gang had recently humiliated Fei-hung hanging him naked and kicking his ass alongside Tsang in prison, his father having to sell the martial arts school to free Fei-hung, the abuse against the steel factory workers and of course the art trafficking the British were planning. This scene is the perfect climax for all those subjects, it shows perfectly how Fei-hung has matured and you can feel the fury in every punch he hits on John. A master piece of martial arts and action cinema.
Probably the best fight scene ever filmed imo, so amazing.
Hahaha! I've watched this fight scene many times and I just noticed the bad guy giving the other bad guy the 'thumbs up' when he kicks Jackie into the coals! XD So funny.
Slightly inebriated, but this is the best video on RUclips. Thanks!
When I first watched this movie I thought he drank wine 😂, ma man drank petrol 😂😂😂
2:46 Thumbs up. Jackie Chan built up 3 months worth of courage just for this stunt alone.
Yes. Real coals. No CGI, no tricks or stand in or fake shit. Yes. Real blisters and burns at 3:05.
And he did it twice. Him being the director there was nobody screaming about bad take. It was all pure commitment to do it right.
hahahahahah I can't get over laughing at the end of this video. Cracks me up every time Jackie makes that funniest face. GOTTA LOVE IT!!
Mesmorising. And you know that the fire walk was before CGI...so Jackie crawled across that with some anti-flamable gel around him. Incredible work!
God damn... This has been amazing since i was a kid but if i don't see it regularly i forget how great it is. This is 100% pure entertainment.
That is my childhood idol. I Love It!
😇😇😇😇😇🥰🥰😀🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤠🤠🤠🤠🥳🥳🥸🥸🥸🥸🥵🥵🥶☹☹🙁🥵🥶🥶🥸🥸🥸🥸😎😎😎😎😎😎
This fight becomes even more badass when you learn that the guy he is fight was (at the time) jacky personal bodyguard
I have seen a lot of jacky chan films but I think this is by far the best fight scene ever.
dawn , even the ufc fighter can do things like this, this is gold, i has missing a lot of classic movies, i will see more gold!
Watching this movies is how I learn how to master Hwoarang from Tekken. Use a lot of fake out kicks as you throw non-stop kicks while keeping distance. I also put some of this into my own personal Martial Art Fighting. Fake out punches.
I use to love Realistic Fighting Games like Tekken and Soul Calibur that had a lot of characters using real life fighting styles that the creators put alot of time studying. Along with love watching Kung Fu Movies plus Japanese Taijutsu, Kenjutsu and Bukijutsu techniques base Animes because of the different fighting styles.
Me too lol😁
One of the greatest action fight scenes EVER.
FUCKING LEGENDARY.
1 of d most engaging fight with superb choreography and style.
7:15 kick rotation combo
This is why I will never pass up on a Jackie chan movie this guy is simply amazing when it comes to martial arts films
The energy in this fight scene is electric best fight scene I have ever seen
Favorite movie of all time, right here.
At 4:24 i fell out of my chair laughing. What a legend in comedy
The greatest fight scene in the last 25 years of modern Hong Kong Cinema.
Tbh grey suit guy would’ve won if Jackie didn’t have his drink 😂
this is the best choreography of all time, its something literally out of a video game
5:30 when someone comes at you ready to throw hands, just do this in retaliation.
Lol 😂
In the bloopers they accidentally bumped each other and boy it wasn’t pretty
Crazy kicks from the main villain. If I can kick like that, I'd die happy.
For years I've wanted to know what style he was using if indeed his using one the kicks are crazy
I kinda feel like he was not using any styles of kicking, but was just barraging kicks.
Best choreography of all times for me.
This film, along with the first two Police Stories , is Jackie Chan action at its PEAK
Few know the guy in black is Hosung Pak aka Liu Kang (Mortal Kombat 1 arcade game)
Love it when the music kicks and then he goes into Beast mode... For me it's Art in motion 4:55
Jackie is literally better that all the ufc fighter while he drunk.
dang that kick style choreography was dope!
I remember my first impression on the guy with the glasses being "Who's this guy?" As if who cares then I saw the foot work and was like daaaaaaame lol dude is a beast. Love this movie 👍
4:27
So that's where the lei wulong throw came from
Nothing like the original cantonese Jackie Chan movie. What amazing martial arts chorography.
When I watched this as a kid I tried doing that one legged thing around the 1:35 mark and fell down so many times. Now that I'm an adult and workout regularly, I've found that I still can't do it. 🤣
OMG at 6:57 lord I wish my grandad was alive to see this!!!!
Just wow amazing Jackie Chan is living legend ❤️❤️❤️
Oh man that Grey suit one's kicks so awesome😂😂😂
