Enter the Fat Dragon

I enjoyed this movie mostly because of the comical and charismatic acting of the supporting cast. Almost all of them really put effort into their roles, and also looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves. The movie has a very positive feeling mostly because of the various supporting characters, in my humble opinion.

Donnie Yen is kind of boring. He is wearing a fat suit in most of the movie, and he does not do a good job of pulling that off. He is a guy in a fat suit, not really a fat guy who knows martial arts. I recall Sammo Hung was genuinely a fat guy that knew martial arts, and he pulled this role off very well in the 1978 original version of this movie.

I enjoyed the movie, but it was the supporting cast that made it entertaining.

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. .

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!

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 ?

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...
