Enter the Fat Dragon (2020)

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 ?

Fmovies: Granted, this 2020 version of "Enter the Fat Dragon" (aka "Fei lung gwoh gong") from director Kenji Tanigaki wasn't as original as the 1978 movie starring Sammo Hung, it was still an entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be.

If you haven't seen the 1978 original movie, then I am sure that you might enjoy this 2020 re-make or homage - whatever it is supposed to be - more than you will in comparison if you have seen the original.

Personally, I found it a nice that Donnie Yen would actually star in a movie such as this. While he does carry himself nicely and the prosthetics are good at making him obese, he is no Sammo Hung, and it wouldn't be much of a contest to put the two next to one another.

For an action comedy then "Enter the Fat Dragon" proved to be entertaining and enjoyable. And it definitely is worth a watch, although the storyline tends to be a bit dragged out at certain points through the movie. And the final showdown scene was just unnecessarily cluttered by putting the helicopter aspect into the equation - it simply made the movie dumber than it had to be.

Now, the movie doesn't really boast a lot of overly famous performers, but worry not. Because the cast actually performed quite well with their given roles and characters.

My rating of this 2020 movie is a six out of ten stars.

Since Jackie Chan comedies and all these Hong Kong movie industry, this one taking you to canonical martial arts chines movies! I noticed Donnie Yen in the past of VHS era at "In The Line Of Duty 4", it was really cool and one of the best fights in those times! So, who didn't knew the world of Hong Kong martial arts movies, can not praise this one with a high score, but believe me - this movie deserve it!

Enter the Fat Dragon fmovies. I really enjoyed this movie very much, it's not the same as the 1978 film starring Sammo Hung, the similarities are in name only, both have very different storylines. I'm a massive Donnie Yen fan, and was surprised when I saw the poster that it was him, so I had to check it out. And very glad I did it was absolutely hilarious, and reminded me of watching a Jackie Chan movie, very crazy and slapstick in some parts. If your a fan of comedy/action movies, give this one a watch, it's very well made and the performance of Donnie Yen, makes it for me. See it you might find a lot to love with it, like I did.

Nice and fun family action comedy with Donnie Yen doing a great work as suddedly-overweighted Hong Kong police officer Fallon Zhu dealing with a broken heart while in assigned to bring a crime wittiness to Japan related with a Yakuza drug operation.

The plot is straight forward and so predictable, yet the story is developed with charm and good uncountable well-choreographed fight scenes.

Surely, this movie does not get to the level of charismatic Jackie Chan's awesome master pieces, but, still, Enter the Fat Dragon is a good treat for kids and adults, definitely worth of your time.

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.
