About Dance of the Drunk Mantis

A year after training young Jackie Chan in the Drunken Fist, Sam the Seed discovers he has a son, Foggy. He tries to train Foggy but to no avail. Foggy is then trained in Drunken Fist from his uncle as he must face his father's rival, Rubber Legs, another Drunken Fist master who combines it with Mantis Fist to create a deadly style.

Directed by Yuen Woo-ping, Dance of the Drunk Mantis leans on a strong ensemble — Simon Yuen Siu-Tien, Yuen Shun-Yi, Hwang Jang-Lee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1979.
