About this film
Enter the Fat Dragon (1978) Review Posted on January 30, 2011 by JJ Bona “Enter the Fat Dragon” Japanese Theatrical Poster Director: Sammo Hung Writer: Ni Kuang Cast: Sammo Hung, Peter Yang, Meg Lam, Leung Kar Yan, Fung Fung, Lee Hoi San, Roy Chiao, Fung Hak On, Ankie Lau, Luk Chu Sek, Chan Dik Hak, Chik Ngai Hung, Ching Chu, Huang Ha, Lam Ching Ying, Lee Hoi Suk, Tony Leung Running Time: 100 min. By Joseph Kuby Watching this flick for the second time made me realize that I’d rather take this on a bad day than Bruce Le on a good day. At first glance, the film appears to be a spoof of Enter the Dragon but when one looks underneath the surface it’s really more of a spoof of Way of the Dragon with nods to Enter The Dragon and Fist of Fury , particularly in the style of music chosen (like what Stephen Chow did in Shaolin Soccer for the opening credit sequence, Sammo does his own remix of Way of the Dragon’s theme during this fight with stuntmen on a Bruceploitation movie set). With this film, Sammo makes several points about the Bruceploitation movie genre through the use of satire. Sammo clearly has an affection for Bruce Lee so I never felt he was lampooning Bruce as he was humourous…
