I have the new one, but I can’t seem to find the first two anywhere.
Just to refesh everyone’s memory, the first is called “Drunken Master” The second “Return of Drunken Master”, and I’m sure everyone knows the third “Legand Of Drunken Master”.
Does anyone have an online source so I can complete my Trillogy?
I purchased mine on www.ebay.com

Haven’t heard of that second one 
I have three Jackie Chan “Drunken” movies: Druken Master, Drunken Master 2, and Drunken Fist Boxing(or something like that), but that last one I listed isn’t really a Jackie Chan movie. It just has some Jackie Chan Druken Master clips spliced into it. Drunken Master 2 is the original Hong Kong version of Legend of Drunken Master.

That guy sells bootlegs and takes weeks/month’s to fill orders so buyer beware
Drunken Master and Drunken Master 2 are the only real Jacky Chan “Drunken” movies… except that the actual sequel to Drunken Master is Dance of the Drunken Mantis (which doesn’t have Jacky in it at all, but deals with further adventures of the old drunk guy and an old rivalry of his)… and Drunken Master 2 was re-released (or rather, released in the US) a couple of years ago with some small changes (mainly musical, and some minor editing, I think) as Legend of Drunken Master. Oh yeah, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the first film, only sharing “Wong Fei Hung” as the main character. It’s not even the same character, and there is no linked plot.
There was a Drunken Master 3, directed entirely by Lau Kar Liang (or whatever his name is… played the old General in DM2) that doesn’t have Jacky in it… as I understand it, the film was made due to a falling out between JC and Lau during the filming of DM2… Lau decided he’d go make the film the way it should be made, or some such. Anyway, it bears no resemblance or relation to DM2, and quite frankly it just totally bites large amounts of badness. The only realy interesting thing about it is the way Lau handles the drunken boxing… which is to say, he barely puts any in there, at least that is recognisable.
As to where to get them… well, I’d send you my copies, but I’m not gunna. 
I thought it was mulit generational. In Legend JC’s charecter is like the young Grandson of his charecter from 1&2 living with his uncle and step mom or some such thing…or so I thought.
I honestly didn’t know there was a third that takes place during the original time period. I thought the first two did, and then Legend was the third that is a fast forward a few generations.

Yeah, the naming of them can get all confusing and stuff, I guess.
The most common version of DM1 that I have come across is an English dubbed one, where they call Wong Fei Hung “Freddy Wong”.. but if you see an undubbed version, it’s Wong Fei Hung. He’s sent off to study under “Uncle” ‘Sam Seed’ - can’t remember the original name, but his dad is still Wong Kei Ying, etc…
DM2 is the same movie as Legend, it just got re-released (or, as I said, released in the US). What is interesting about the films (amongst other things) is that they deal with two significantly different versions of the young Wong Fei Hung’s life. They were filmed something like fifteen years apart or something, and Jackie had much more input into the latter than the former… but it is interesting that Fei Hung in the first movie learned the Drunken from an external teacher, and in the later movie was taught by his father…
Well, it interested me, anyway.
Yeah, there was a split during the second one, I think Jackie ended up doing the choreography for the second half of DM2 aka Legend of the Drunken Master.
try http://www.half.com. I get a lot of KF movies from there.
For those of you who didn’t know, DM2 was made to raise money for the HK martial arts technician union (aka stunt man in MA films). Nobody was supposed to get pay for the film and there was a lot of cameo from HK film stars (e.g., Chow Yun-Fat, Andy Liu, etc.).
The film probably didn’t have a real script (and most HK movie script are usual pretty thin to begin with). They improvised a lot and when the director and Jackie got into a spat, Jackie took over the director role as well. But, Jackie left the original director’s name in the credit.
This explains the reason for incontinuity between the first and the second movie
