Monkey Fist Floating Snake

An hilarious movie filled with quotable characters and insane sound effects. No, the storyline isn’t original, and the video quality isn’t great, but this had my entire family rolling on the floor.This 1979 movie has also been titled, “The Drunken Monkey,” “Drunken Monkey, Floating Snake,” and “Monkey King Fu.”

I remember this being on kung fu theater when I was a kid. I liked it back then and I felt the choreography was good and some of the characters were quirky. I give it 4 stars mostly because of the nostalgia from when I watched it as a kid. I watched the streaming version via prime video.Video and audio quality wasn't very good, but it was still enjoyable.

Despite the poor reviews, I purchased this movie with an opened mind. This movie had the foot prints of a very promising old school "kickers"!! I was especially impressed by the kung fu moves, which gave me a renewed respect for the monkey style. Despite the impressive training, especially the drunken monkey, I thought the final fight scene fell really short. It almost seemed like the director cut out a hugh chunk of the fight scene, and the movie ended! The expectation was set,,and I fell for it. I'm happy it only cost me $3.98 for this "BUMBO-CLOTH" flick!!

This was ok and probably just about worth $4.99. Decent fight scenes but as I said there are better kung-fu movies around.
