What is the name of the martial arts style that Jackie's character uses in this movie?

drunken boxing. Drunken boxing is an actual martial arts style in China. It consists of making movements similar to those of a drunkard, while drinking wine at the same time. The belief of the followers of drunken boxing is that the skill of boxing lies in drunkenness.



What does Jackie's character bring onto the train in a box?

The Legend of Drunken Master


ginseng. Wong Fei Hung's parents run an herbal remedy shop, and Wong goes along with his father on a trip to pick up supplies. The ginseng is a special order for a patient who has been having various aches and pains.



Why does Jackie's character smuggle an item onto the train?

The Legend of Drunken Master


He does not want to pay the high tariffs.. Because of the strict control the Chinese government has over the economy and transportation, all luggage must be declared and tariffs must be paid on anything that has been bought. The ginseng tariffs are quite high, so Wong smuggles on the ginseng by pretending to fall over, spilling his luggage, and quickly scooping the ginseng up among other items.



Which foreign power is illegally involved in Chinese affairs?

The Legend of Drunken Master


Britain. Ever since the leasing of Hong Kong, Britain and China have had a close relationship, but in Jackie's movies, a British character is (many times) the lead villain. In this case, the British are illegally smuggling Chinese artifacts out of China in crates of metal rods.



Where does Jackie's character put on a friendly martial arts display/match?

The Legend of Drunken Master


market. At the marketplace, a colleague of Wong's step-mother runs a fish shop. As Wong places an order with him, the two discuss their respective martial arts style. Wong's friend says that drunken boxing is only for show and can not win in an actual match, so he challenges Wong. If Wong wins, his order is free. Caught off guard, Wong's friend unwillingly admits defeat when Wong is sent on an errand by his mother.



According to Jackie's character's father, why does he fail at martial arts?

The Legend of Drunken Master


Jackie's character drinks too much.. Wong Fei Hung's father says that the key to drunken boxing is drinking precisely the right amount, which is very difficult. Many of those who attempt the style become alcoholics, which is the path Wong is heading down.



Where does the final showdown take place?

The Legend of Drunken Master


factory. To smuggle artifacts out of China, the British have taken over a steel factory and hidden the artifacts in crates of metal rods. The workers try to leave when they are denied overtime pay, but are physically beaten and treated as slaves. When Wong hears of their plan, he goes to fight the villains at the factory. They have also killed Wong's hero [of sorts] in a recent skirmish.



When Jackie's character's foot catches on fire, how does he put it out?

The Legend of Drunken Master


kicks at water that is thrown in the air. Being a steel factory, there are many fires around - used to melt the metal. Many people are caught on fire in the fight; Wong presses his foot up against a red-hot vat while pushing off an assailant. Many factory workers are hit with red-hot rods. The workers are put out with dirt, while one of the other workers throws water out of a bucket when he sees Wong's foot is on fire. While the water is flying through the air, he kicks at it, and his flaming foot is put out as the water passes over it.



Jackie's character falls on top of something in the final fight that obviously causes him pain. What does he fall on top of?

The Legend of Drunken Master


coals. A fight with one of the henchmen in the steel factory brings Wong to the edge of a bed of hot coals. In the midst of the scuffle, Wong loses his balance and falls onto the coals. To get off them, he crawls from his position to the other end of the bed.
