Missed that, thanks.
As it is, I have only seen about half of them.

as I have yet to find any evidence he's ever trained in that style. Mantis, northern CMA, bak mei, and plenty of non-CMA TMAs, but no hung ga (at least none that I've found).

If you have a source I would greatly appreciate it Chen.

Only anecdotally, my Sifu brought over a guy who was allegedly a teacher of Jackie's way back when. He taught Hung Gar.
I do recall him mentioning some Hung and CLF training in an interview as well.
You are ignoring his physicality and the ingrained movement he has. He could memorize all 4 pillar sets in an afternoon if he wished.
I have no doubt he's had some formal Hung Kuen training.

There are plenty of others who have played WFH (going back to the 40s/50s) who also trained in the style: Gwan Tak Hing, Gordon Liu, and Jet Li to name some of the most famous.

Kwan Tak Hing - White Crane
Jet Li - Wushu
Your point was what now?

But can Chan beat me at drinking?

Can you, for that matter?

Chan?
Probably.

Chen?
Definitely.

Once again Chen you've corrected and expanded my knowledge. And for that you've earned my sincere thanks.

However...I've tired of your baseless attacks on my tolerance!

I declare drinking gong sau, you and me, next time I visit Hawaii. The last time was 2001.

I will allow you to choose the alcohol, and I'll be bouncing quarters off your snoring nose before the night is over!

Mahalo, bitch!

Elwood P Dowd should be on there. I mean he stayed drunk but sweet however, he was hallucinating the entire movie.

Yes it does, if you have the real stuff.
