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...
Seems movie was to be made for Jackie Chan, but director gives this chance to Donnie Yen. Movie is totally Jackie style type. Entertainer and some really comical scenes. Donnie perfects his role and a brilliant make over for fat inspector. Easy fights for him and acting for comical situations makes us this movie watchable till end. Climax is good and end is expected. Watchable for Donnie yens' lovers for kung fu fights with comedy story.

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.
