Donnie yen aka Jackie Chan
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.

Pretty good action/ comedy
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!
Has potential to be renaissance classic, but it turns out to be just a mediocre time killer
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 ?

Watch but not rewatch
Donnie Yen fan favourite, is the only reason to watch this. First 30-40 minutes are a good mix of action and comedy. Then the plot gets a bit out of focus and several things do not make much sense. Fat Donnie is too good in action scenes and too young in make up, but still enjoyable. Other than that, the movie lacks in character and you will only remember the good fights.
First politically correct fat shaming movie
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...
