revenge of the drunken master (1984)

"you couldn't break a piece of straw."
The Blood Ninja gang are out to kill the drunken master. His mischievous student (Johnny Chan) gets caught up in the plot and proceeds to fight against them, helped and hindered in equal measure by a policeman who is determined to arrest drunken kid for misuse of acupuncture!
Following on from the success of Drunken Master, we get a watered down version, this time with Jackie Chan obviously unavailable we get a 'chanlite', who does a passable impression, in this passable martial arts fest. The bizarre thing is the sub plot between the policeman and a woman whom he first rescues, then rapes! She then tags along behind him, infatuated and getting in his way?!?A feminist treat this ain't!
