Technical Notes:Drunken Master [HK Version]
All Content Used With Permission.
Mei Ah's remastered dvd is good although there seems to exist a difficulty obtaining a full length Cantonese audio master these days. Columbia's Region 1 release from 2002 filled in the blanks with English dubbing while Mei Ah in 2004, via branching, feature Mandarin instead. Shame that no effort was made to cull the audio master from older home video releases such as the Far East laserdisc but the branching works smoothly and it's a more preferable solution the Hong Kong disc provides. That said, the first fight scene in the film, between Hwang Jang Lee and Yuen Shun-Yi, is obviously newly redubbed. Madness. Thanks to John Charles of Hong Kong Digital for the above information.

This print looks BEAUTIFUL. The Cantonese dialog sounds newly recorded, but the Mandarin sounds original.
