While I wouldn’t call “Enter the Fat Dragon” a good movie, Donnie Yen at least makes it entertaining. Go to Full Review

Having said that, even without curbing your expectations too much knowing that this is essentially still a Wong Jing film, Enter the Fat Dragon is a fairly enjoyable piece of Hong Kong cinema. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Fast, nonsensical and energetic enough to keep you occupied under the breezy 95-minute length. Go to Full Review

Enter the Fat Dragon is an unexpectedly great time, and is one of the funniest and most action-packed martial arts films from China this year so far, in the finest old school Hong Kong style. Go to Full Review

It's a whole lot of fun. The action is great and the comedy is terrific. Go to Full Review

Is it possible for a movie to be at once a throwback, a throw-down and a throw forward? Yes, yes it is. Go to Full Review

Nathan J. @NathanDirector Jun 13, 2026 Rated: 6.3/10 ⭐️ Threw this on for a fun Donnie Yen martial arts fix. Expected a goofy parody, but the high-energy action scenes honestly won me over. What Worked: • Donnie Yen moving with lightning speed in a fat suit honestly looks incredible. • The final yakuza showdown brings that high-stakes Action-adventure vibe I love. • Teresa Mo’s chaotic energy completely carries the Tokyo comedy for me. The Friction: • The evidence room setup part in Hong Kong really dragged for me. • Repetitive physical jokes kind of pulled me out of the fun vibe. • The romance drama subplot went on too long and felt a bit much. Verdict: Watch for breezy fights. Skip if silly physical humor annoys you. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 12, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more max t @RT64415398 Jul 13, 2021 stupid. loud. interminable. i should have watched a donnie yen movie. oh… wait… i did… at least until i'd had enough. go watch or rewatch any other kung fu movie and you'll make better use of your time.

See more Sep 7, 2020 Even it is for the Chinese new year, it can be a better and more serious. Well, Wong Jing's movie is that level anyway. Business is business. See more Aug 16, 2020 Trash film. I love me some Donnie Yen but this was some major crapola. Very boring and not funny. Watch a better movie like the original enter the dragon. See more Read all reviews
