• Accidental Debauchee: While Fei-Hung was just trying to impress his friends by making advances on a immature adult female, things just become worse when she's revealed to be his cousin whom he'd never met before. Yikes.
• Addiction-Powered: Of course, seeing how his mastery is drunken.
• Booze is Gasoline:
  • Inverted. The climax of The Fable of the Drunken Master takes place at a metalworking factory, which has small containers of kerosene used to oestrus up the fires plenty to melt steel. Confronting the Final Boss, the hero Wong Fei-hung is seemingly outmatched... until he goes alee and drinks the kerosene to activates his Drunken Master abilities.
  • One (cut out) outtake of the epilogue had Wong suffering desperately for that choice, because drinking booze with that loftier a proof turned out to give him brain impairment.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Fei-Hung disrespects people and does any he wants because he thinks he tin either fight or trick his fashion out of anything. His Character Evolution requires him to learn some self-subject and humility.
• Ass Kicks You: Fei-Hung'southward interpretation of "Drunken Miss Ho" involves hip-checks to unbalance the opponent; he even tries an donkey-drop set on on Yan Ti San, only Yan manages to contrivance it.
• Bald Head of Toughness: Rat the Iron-Headed Bullet is a literal example of this, having a bald head then strong he tin pause a piece of brick over it.
• Booze-Based Vitrify: The trick to Drunken Boxing is that you actually accept to be boozer for information technology to work effectively. See Worf Had the Flu below for more than.
• Brilliant, just Lazy: Fei-Hung is an adept fighter, no dubiety about it. He'due south probably be an even amend one if he spent as much time training as he did trying to get out of training.
• Bullying a Dragon: Averted when Thunderleg meets Beggar Then partway during the climatic boxing. He wants no role of Beggar Then, and tells So that his fight is of no business to So.

• Calling Your Attacks: The Viii Drunken Gods fashion. Each of the 8 moves has its own verse. Played for laughs after when Fei-Hong, failing to chief Lady Ho's kata, makes up some bullshit moves and lines of his own.
• Combat Pragmatist: Beggar And so. His first appearance has him throw a metallic kettle of boiling water at the Impaired Musculus who was vain plenty to fight blank chested, and he keeps going from there. Of course, he'south a vagrant every bit well as a martial arts master, his lifestyle has no demand of "fair play".
• Drunken Boxing: If it wasn't obvious.
• Drunken Primary: The Trope Namer, of course.
• Everyone Has Standards: While Fei-Hong's aunt humiliates him by revealing to his father that he fabricated advances on his ain cousin, Wong Kei-Ying is understandably pissed off. However, when he's set to attack him, she immediately stops him, shocked that Kei-Ying that he would actually impale his own son.
• Evil Virtues: Yan Ti San/Thunderleg is a killer for rent. Off the clock he is an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy par excellence, but once he is hired, he is a Consummate Professional; he cannot be bribed or rehired by the current target to kill his current customer, and he will not relent until his target is dead.
• Fatal Flaw: Fei-Hung is not about every bit clever as he thinks himself to be, and he is constantly slacking off from training. This goes beyond being merely Vivid, but Lazy withal, as he never bothers to acquire the eighth course of Drunken Boxing ("Drunken Miss Ho" which he feels is too feminine to work in a fight) and he has to make up his own eighth form in the final fight to proceed from getting killed. He gets over this hangup by the 2d motion-picture show, where he uses the form to psych opponents out.
• Difficult Head: Fei-Hung fights a thug who specializes in using his head to fight. While information technology tin can break wood easily, his caput isn't hard enough for a hammer, which gives him Cranial Eruptions.
• I Am Non Left-Handed: Yan Ti San is most likely called Thunderleg in the English dub considering he relies heavily on a slower fighting style that emphasizes power over speed, punctuated with lethal kicks. In the last fight with Fei-Hung, he reveals a hitherto-unseen style; The Shadowless Hand, a manus-based style that revolves around multiple rapid feints and finger flicks at an opponent's optics, disorentating them, and hiding strikes behind a hand held close to the eyes to block their vision.
• I Have No Son!: Subverted. In the Uk dub, later on hearing all of Fei-Hung's misdeeds, his father, Kei-Ying, is understandably disgusted with his son and verbally disowns him. However, he later decides to accept Fei-Hung disciplined by Beggar And then. By the terminate of the film, the ii manage to reconcile.
• My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours: 1 reason Fei-Hung returns to Ragamuffin-And so and takes his training more seriously is his defeat at the hands of some other martial artist, Yan Ti San. (Thunderleg, in the English dub)
• No Proficient Human activity Goes Unpunished: When Freddy finds a bully picking on an old man and his son, he's quick to defend them and gives the bully a skilful thrashing… only to larn that he'due south the son of his town's most influential man, which gets him into even deeper trouble with his male parent.
• Not Worth Killing: Even though he could kill him hands, Yan Ti San expresses that killing Fei-Hung would just injure his reputation. Naturally, this prompts Fei-Hung to resume his training with Beggar So to become a amend fighter.
• Obvious Stunt Double: Whenever Beggar-So does annihilation that requires fast movements or acrobatics, his hair covers his face and he becomes skinnier. His actor, Siu Tin Yuen, is doubled by his sons, Cheung-Yan Yuen and director Yuen Woo-Ping, for those shots.
• Old Master: Beggar-So is exactly the kind of wandering master one wouldn't await to be a chief. He's also usually drunk.
• Out-Gambitted: When Fei-Hung tried to walk out of the restaurant without paying, he attempted the quondam "that old guy over there's paying" pull a fast one on. "That old guy over at that place" simply happened to be the owner of the restaurant. Worse, Fei-hung claimed the guy was his father. Which prompted the caput waiter to enquire "Y'all take more than one father?". The head waiter just happened to be the son of the possessor and added "Y'all must exist a bastard, and so". Plainly, the owner and his family unit had seen this trick before and don't heed giving so much food abroad for costless if it means they get to teach the perpetrator a lesson.
  • Fei-Hung'southward luck at gambits extends to his tutelage under Beggar And so; Meet below.
• Pec Flex: The restaurant bouncer, Iron Gorilla, enjoys using this technique.
• Shell Game: Beggar So stops to gamble against Rat the Iron Headed Bullet. Rat tries to run a rigged crush game, and is hands caught.
• Signature Move: Yan Ti San's double-legged flight kicking, which he uses to finish off his opponents.
• Spiritual Successor: To Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, sharing the aforementioned actors for Fei-Hung, Yan Ti San, and Ragamuffin-So in very similar roles. Fei-Hung even uses Serpent Kung Fu in a few fights.
• Surprise Incest: Fei-Hung tries to hitting on a girl that visits his town, but to be attacked by her female parent. He afterward learns that the girl is his cousin and that he fought his aunt.
• Training from Hell: The usual methods apply here, like scooping water from a bucket with teacups only to fill another bucket while upside down. It's worth noting that the preparation wouldn't be so hellish if Fei-Hung wasn't trying to weasel his way out of it. In the teacups instance, he makes to fill the bucket directly with the other while Ragamuffin So is taking a nap. Yet, So is one stride ahead of him and when Fei-Hung fakes being tired and announces that he's completed his task, And so tells him to now empty that bucket out with teacups roughly the size of shot glasses.
• Trash Talk: Yan Ti San is a master of this.
• The Trickster: Fei-Hung is very sneaky, one reason why he'south in enough trouble to be sent away for special preparation.
• Trickster Mentor: Beggar-And so is equally sneaky, finding interesting ways to keep Fei-Hung from running away from his (frequently brutal) training.
• Trope Codifier: For the Drunken Master and Hong Kong Martial Arts Movie, whose tropes film lovingly reproduces and creates the perfect product.
• Worf Had the Flu: Equally stated above, Drunken Boxing requires one to be legitimately intoxicated. The one time in the motion-picture show Ragamuffin And so is forced to fight sober (because Fei-Hung spent the coin on fine food and wine for himself rather than a booze run and filled So'south flask with water instead once he noticed he had drank most of it himself,) he is rapidly outclassed. To exist off-white though, the moving-picture show does take pains to evidence that information technology is non the lack of alcohol that is the problem, simply Ragamuffin So's shakes as he is coming down from his nigh constant fizz.
• Worthy Opponent: When Fei-Hung demonstrates his drunken boxing, Yan Ti San really expresses approval and compliments his new technique.

• The Cameo: Bill Tung, Jackie'south longtime costar from the Police Story movies, appears at the end as a police principal.

• Eye Scream: Office of the final fight involves The Dragon shoving his square jaw into Fei-Hong's eyes, later which Fei-Hong shoves his nose into the bugger'due south eyes. There's no lasting harm, only unless y'all've trained in blindfolded boxing or something, you lot've got a problem.
  • Fei-Hong's increasing condolement with the Drunken Miss Ho form since the first film besides results in an expanded arsenal of moves. His utilise of the form now includes a agglomeration of these, again used to throw opponents off of their pace, and occasionally even fakes them out with one before striking them elsewhere.
• Faux Pregnancy: Seemingly Ling does this to distract the father from beating Fei-Hung and she reacts nervously whenever her husband refers to her supposed pregnancy. Information technology turns out she really was meaning and simply knew when to fourth dimension the news to her advantage.

• Mama Conduct: Ling is relentless in protecting her stepson from his father.
• Morph Weapon: A rare ane fabricated with pure practical effects. The bamboo staff thing that Fei Hong uses against the Axe Gang can be used as a regular staff to whack people, split its ends to scratch and slash, and even expand to trap opponents' limbs in between the strands. Fei Hong and the staff are oiled up, which is why he doesn't get scratched upward by the edges of the bamboo.
• Not-And then-Harmless Villain: John. In the beginning he comes off equally the brains of the henchmen, peculiarly with his huge nerd glasses. Come up the final fight though, he winds up being Fei-Hung'south terminal opponent and likely the nigh dangerous of them when he reveals his powerful kicking techniques.
• Playing Gertrude: Jackie Chan was 39 when he played Fei-Hong in this motion-picture show. Kei-ying's thespian was eight years older than Jackie and Ling's actress was nine years younger.

• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting in this time due to the spread of martial arts, though this girl from the marketplace who sells live animals like snakes has nevertheless to sit down for formal lessons. She's shown doing badly at the end of the axe gang ambush, merely when they start Storming the Castle in the finale, everyone lends a paw while the girl... throws alive snakes at the guards.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: The only time they practice stay faithful to the traditional Wong Fei-Hong of history. Fei-Hong actually drags one of the Bad Boss foremen out of the way earlier his foundry worker buddy tin crush his head under a coal tipper.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Ling and Marlon, they quarrel over the attention of their female person friend and contend about their fighting styles, just information technology's clear they are protective of each other.
• Vomit Indiscretion Shot: It's not till the final fight that we get one, which is a piddling odd considering how many times Fei-Hong drinks. Probable considering it'southward treated as The Gloves Come Off.
• "Well Done, Son!" Guy: Fei-Hung genuinely respects his male parent, despite all the trouble he'due south caused; After a particularly out-of-control bender where he mistakes his father for an opponent, Fei-Hung agrees to give up drunken boxing permanently. Mind you lot, this is somewhere roughly in the stop of the second deed and nosotros've still got at least i more big fight to become, then information technology isn't that permanent.
• Would Hit a Girl: That foundry director who hits Ling in the face immediately earns the beginning big beatdown in the movie, and a confront total of lit alcohol in the finale.

Drunken Chief Iii provides examples of

• Dolled-Up Installment: Due to its excessive comedic nature, different casting and sudden change in genre, some reviewers considers the third movie to be a terminal-minute shoe-in to the Drunken Master franchise.
• Groin Attack: How Simon Yam's gay assassinator gets defeated in his final scene. He didn't dice, only he'south non shown once again later on landing sharply on his nuts.
• The Gunslinger: Yeung Kwan is a marksman with his Mauser, which he use to take down several gangsters.
• Lighter and Softer
• The Mole: Yeung Kwan pretends to be a minion of the White Lotus Society, but is actually ane of the skilful guys on the same side equally Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
• Oddball in the Series: While the starting time two movies had its own slapstick moments, the 3rd turns it Up to Eleven. Also, the inclusion of a gunslinger graphic symbol than deals with problems by shooting them, seems really out of place too in a martial arts-themed series so far.
