Legacies of the Drunken Master: Politics of the Body in Hong Kong Kung Fu Comedy Films - Asia Pop!
Luke White
In 1978 the films Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master, both starring a young Jackie Chan changed the landscape of martial arts cinema. This first book-length analysis of kung fu comedy interrogates the politics of the films and their representations of the performing body.
