Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Eight Drunken...

Google hits on 'Eight Drunk Gods': 93. Google hits on 'Eight Drunken Immortals', the translation I know the style by: 655. Does anyone have any objection to changing all instances of the former to the latter? -Toptomcat 01:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

No objection regarding the wording as such. However, it is a piped link that may need fixing.

At present the article states:

The training continues and Wong learns of the old man's secret style, called "The Eight Drunk Gods" after eight mythological figures the fighting style emulates.

"Eight Drunk Gods" links to Zui Quan - aka Drunken Fist / Drunken Boxing.

Within Zui Quan article is another link to the Eight Immortals and within that article, a link to the Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup. If this is the actual style he learned, and it can be considered a sub-form of Zui Quan, we should the article be changed to read something more like this:

The training continues and Wong learns of the old man's secret style, a form of [[Zui Quan]] called "[[Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup|The Eight Drunken Immortals]]", after eight mythological figures the fighting style emulates.

Additionally, the link in the Zui Quan article should probably be to the Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup article instead of the more general Eight Immortals article. Gram 16:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've gone ahead and done this. Gram 10:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
