Taoism Drunkard (Chinese: t=鬼馬天師|hp=Guǐ mǎ tiān shī|labels=no), also known as Drunken Wu-Tang, is a 1984 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film directed by Yuen Cheung-yan, who also stars in the film alongside his brother Yuen Yat-chor;[2] the two are part of the sibling filmmaking team known as the Yuen Brothers or the Yuen Clan, who produced the similarly themed Shaolin Drunkard (1983).[3]
In their 1995 book The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies, authors Bill Palmer, Karen Palmer and Ric Meyers gave Taoism Drunkard a score of two-and-a-half out of four stars, calling it "one of the strangest kung fu comedies we've ever seen".[4]
