Reception

Ken Eisner of Variety wrote that the film's fight choreography overcomes its cheesiness and derivative story.[3] David Cornelius of DVD Talk rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "When the action's on, 'Drunken Monkey' is a total blast. When the action's off, 'Drunken Monkey' is a total snooze."[4]
