Jackie Chan vs Goons in Drunken Master II! With original HK soundtrack and sound fx. Scene taken from Drunken Master II (1994)

In 2005, Drunken Master II was named one of the top 100 best films of all time by Time magazine. In 2015, the British Film Institute (BFI) selected Drunken Master II as one of the 10 best action movies of all time. However once American distributor, Dimension Films acquired the film an English-language dub (Chan dubbed himself), and a new musical score was added. The re-dubbed soundtrack also meant that sound effects were different, in some instances completely altering the rhythm of the fight scenes.

For years no home media release has been made available that preserved the original aspect ratio (2.35:1) and the uncut version of the film with the original Cantonese audio track. An uncut release with good picture quality, the original audio track, and the original aspect ratio is considered a "holy grail" by many Hong Kong cinema fans.

It wasn't until 11 October 2018, The original, uncut Hong Kong version was finally made available on Blu-ray in China, Korea and Japan, courtesy of Warner Bros.
