The story in Shaolin Drunk Fighter is simple and cliché, but the execution is very good. We have a young main character who becomes a Shaolin monk in order to learn kung fu so he can get revenge on the tyrant Tiger Ko, who killed his family. And then we have his Shaolin master, who's one of the senior monks at the temple. This master, I think his name is Kung, is a great character (and actor). He's sympathetic, he beats a samurai (using a pole against a sword), he always shows up just when he's needed, and most interestingly, he's a monk who frequently gets drunk! It isn't clear whether this is actually part of, or allowed by, his Shaolin philosophy, or whether it's supposed to be a secret, but it seems to be part and parcel of his general philosophy, as he can fight very well with a pole using his drunken style - which his student also learns (although the whole drunken fighting aspect actually only plays a very small part in the movie).
