Enter the Fat Dragon

Okay movie for fun watching, it really has a potential to be a classic like old Jackie Chan Hong Kong action comedy movie....but it does not.

The movie sets out to be a comedy due to the design of the first scene. But there is no comedy in all the fights. The fatness just be there for the sake of fatness...there is not a single scene of Yen fighting with his fatness as a comedy point or disadvantage, (for an example, after he jump from one roof to another, the director actually can make it more fun and he can break the roof and fall through or stuck in the hole for further comedy effect) but after he got fat he fights exactly as he used to as agile as it can be even flying, cmon man....The Bruce Lee reference is also there for no relation...so whats the point ?

I didn't even knew at first it was Donnie yen in poster. This movie reminded me of my childhood as i used to see lot of kungfu and karate movies of Bruce and Jackie. Movie definitely has Jackie chan vibe to it in action, emotional and comedy scenes. Which was honestly refreshing to watch after so many years. Donnie really fits here very well. And some fighting stunts were really impressive.

We want more movies like this. I really enjoyed watching this refreshing comedy with my family.

ENTER THE FAT DRAGON shares a title with a Sammo Hung kung fu flick of 1978 but there the similarities end. This is notable for being a typical Hong Kong action comedy with Donnie Yen, with the twist that Yen plays the role (for the most part) in a fat suit. It's an unusual bit of spectacle for sure, although never quite convincing as the suit looks too rubbery for that. The plot involves Yen's cop heading off to Japan to escort a criminal while at the same time trying to restart a failed romance. The female roles are criminally underwritten (including Teresa Mo's) but there's a fun role for producer Wong Jing who even gets to fight. There are fun film references, some dodgy comedy that doesn't really work too well, and plenty of well choreographed action that generally hits the mark.

EtFD is a descent action/ comedy and Donnie Yen is pretty funny, he is a good actor for comedy too. Some pretty good fighting, it reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle. Worth a watch if you like action comedies and Donnie Yen!

Well... basically 0 fat shaming. Donnie gaining weight gives nothing to the plot. Comedy movie that makes 0 jokes about him being fat. Not once he got tired because of the extra weight or jokes about him getting stuck or fighting with food. The fighting was pretty good. Without that it's a 3/10 movie. The only time anyone called him fat he took it like a champ and he was like: Im fat?!?! you are a toothpick! And the skinny guy almost died in shame...
