Watch Enter the Fat Dragon For Free

Why so much hype?

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Lack of good storyline.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This film I feel is an under the radar gem. This was Samo's first film he directed and was the main star. It's not quite one of my favorite Samo Hung films but it's close and I enjoy it all the same.There really isn't much in plot line, which can be said about most marital arts movies; by it's nature it's really just a clothesline for the action and comedy in this film which is what we're all in this for.I think what really makes this film stand out is that it's a tribute toward Bruce Lee. This was something that two other films did "The Last Dragon" and "No Retreat No Surrender" another under the radar gem. I really like that because it really shows how fondly remembered Bruce is and the fact we see Samo in action shows that his legacy lives on.I love the fact that Samo's character as well as himself is a huge Bruce Lee fan which I find touching and enduring since I myself am. Heck his whole story line is sort of a tribute to one of Bruce's film's "Way of the Dragon" as that film was about the same thing on a country bumpkin coming to the city to help his family out of trouble. Even love the fact that his character has big dreams on becoming a marital arts star and making his own films like his idol, I can't help but feel there is a bit of truth in that as Samo had to struggle a long time to become a name which of course he did.Samo impersonates/imitates Bruce a little which I felt he did a great job on he was really spot on on Bruce's mannerisms and little inflections. This isn't to insult Bruce but a way to help remember him and you can say show how strong his fandom for Bruce is. There is even one bit of music which is a remixed version of the theme of "Way of the Dragon" in one fight scene which was cool.And of course the fight in this film are great. There are two battles in this film that stand out. From the final battle which has one of my favorite one on one fights, I really like the way it's conducted it sort of a tournament match like in the "Street Fighter" video game as we see Samo taking out one guy he then has to fight the other. The fights with each of the baddie opponents were cool as each of the opponents had a different fighting style and we see Samo has to utilize some strategy in the fights.And of course the highlight of the film for me is the Bruce plotation film battle. It was just awesome seeing Samo just beat the crap out of the fake Bruce Lee whom of course turns out to be an egocentric jerk. He even beats the crap out of the whole production team whom were also jerks making the film. I couldn't help but cheer because that is something I sure a lot of Bruce Lee and marital arts/action fans have always thought of doing to those Bruce plotation films.I really love what Samo's character say's to the fake Bruce after the fight which was great because what he say's is exactly how I feel about all of those crap fest Bruce plotation films that were always trying too hard to capitalize on Bruce's success but having no identity of it's own. Seeing Samo in the aftermath of that battle I thought yeah, Samo is the true action star he's the real deal we want to watch."Enter the Fat Dragon" is big fun.Rating: 3 stars

"One of Hung's better early efforts. The humor is dead-on in parts as Hung tries to imitate Lee's moves and facial expressions, and also in a bit where Hung pokes fun at Jackie Chan's Drunken Master. The action is also pretty good, especially when Hung takes on a trio on martial arts experts at the end. It's not the greatest film, but pretty good for '70's kung fu, especially if you're a fan of Hung and/or Lee. Be warned, though: most video versions of the movie have pretty shoddy quality. There is also a character in blackface which some people might find offensive.Sammo Hung is a rural swine-herder who moves to Hong Kong to fight off some bad guys. Sammo turns on his dead-on Bruce Lee impersonation when fighting! This film is often billed as a parody of Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon", but it's not exactly that... Sammo is a rural swine herder--obsessed with Bruce Lee--who moves to Hong Kong to help his relatives run a small open-air restaurant. Once situated at the new job, he is forced to defend the eatery from local gangsters looking for protection money. When Sammo switches into fighting mode, he switches on his Bruce Lee impersonation, which must be seen to be believed! This film is pretty sloppy, in many of the fight scenes Sammo battles against people who are obviously actors rather than martial artists, and there's one character who's supposed to be black who is played by an Asian man in heavy (and preposterous) makeup. But what this film lacks in budget and accuracy, it more than makes up for in atmosphere and energy. Highly recommended for a good mood."

The most agile fat guy in martial arts does it again. An early Sammo film that has him imitating his character's hero, Bruce Lee, Sammo is amazingly Lee like in his actions and fighting. The way he slips into Bruce's style and then back to his own, more familiar kung fu is a joy to watch and shows how accomplished and adaptable he is at his art. Throw in a bit of slapstick humour so beloved of this type of flick and this a movie that has it all - comedy (some unintentional, like the fake black guy), action and some incredible fight scenes.A great beer and buddies movie that is worth an hour and a half of anyone's time.

"Enter the Fat Dragon" is one of the funniest martial art movies I had the opportunity to see. Sammo Hung portrays a Chinese farm boy that comes to visit a city friend. Just like Tang Lung of "Way of the Dragon." Wherever Sammo goes, trouble starts, therefore he has to rely on his martial art skills to solve the differences. Luckily, Sammo's character learns martial arts by imitating and mimicking his idol, Bruce Lee. He even strokes his nose with his thumb exactly the way Bruce Lee does and also releases his screeching yell. He also uses nunchucks in a scene. It was like watching a fat Bruce Lee. There's a great showdown near the end of the movie which consists of foreign fighters. Sammo has to encounter each opponent one by one. Sort of like "The Game of Death", where each fighter possesses a different martial art discipline from one another.This is one of the films I really enjoyed watching and also the very first Sammo Hung movies I've seen. Excellent fight scenes and a lot of laughs. A rare classic Sammo Hung film I highly recommend for all you martial art fans out there. 8.5/10!
