You see DJ, a martial arts movie is defined by its martial arts choreography. A good story is always a nice welcome (as seen in the Once Upon A Time in China movies and Hero), but it's definitely not needed to make it a great martial arts flick. Both Drunken Master movies have incredible martial arts choreography (performed by real martial artists, not hopeless messes like all of the Matrix people) and that's what counts. And Drunken Master 2 is the best martial arts movie ever made. DM is still awesome, but DM 2 has it beat in terms of choreography. The only other movie that comes close to it is Fist of Legend (Jet Li).
