Writer-director Steve Oedekerk acquired the little known 1976 Hong Kong karate flick "Savage Killers," then seamlessly blended portions of the film with new material he has directed to create a wild, off-the-wall, comedy feature film. Oedekerk wrote, directed and stars in "Enter The Fist," placing himself digitally into the old film, re-dubbing the characters, as well as shooting new scenes.

Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/15/2002
Naturally, much fun is made of the poorly synchronized dialogue inherent in kung fu flicks, but the gag pales with repetition, especially since Billy Crystal and Robin Williams did it better years ago. Go to Full Review Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune 07/20/2002
Not since Freddy Got Fingered has a major release been so painful to sit through. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 02/03/2002

Oedekerk's latest exercise in what I like to call 'the cinema of screechy hellsuck.' Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending 09/19/2017
2.5/5
Its best gags are great, but they make up something like 5% of the whole, and its middle-tier gags are pretty mediocre. Go to Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com 11/09/2006
3.5/4
Steve Oedekerk's ode to bad '70s Hong Kong cinema is a gleefully bizarre combination of loving homage and merciless satire, bad special effects and unexpected jokes. Go to Full Review Jean-François Vandeuren Panorama 10/29/2005

Austin N @RT81564629 3d An all time classic. I loved this movie when it first came out as a kid and its even better now. Its stupid but funny as hell. If you enjoy stupid comedy flicks, like ace Ventura, happy Madison, pooty tang, naked gun, you will appreciate this masterpeice. 20 years after it came out, im still quoting it... "what do you get when you cross an Owl with a Bungie chord..." See more Troutman J @RT74212998 4d This is still the funniest movie ever made.. I watch it several times a year, and it keeps getting better! So many hilarious lines!! See more luke H @RT32434007 Apr 24 one of the funniest parts of the movie for me is the sudden absolute drop in quality, it goes from like actual sets to just a green screen and like a $1 budget out of nowhere and it carries through the rest of the movie. im laughing just thinking about it its soo stupid but funny! its like the ultimate anti-movie See more Mark S @RT60229051 Apr 16 This movie isn't trying to be the smartest guy in the room, it knows how silly it is and revels in it. If you like it, you love it, if you don't like it, you hate it. I loved it. It's dumb as hell and many scenes and gags live rent free in my head. See more ste A @RT40160199 Apr 12 One of the best parody's that I seen the people who rated one star must be ꓣАРЕD See more Mattie L. @DastardlyMattieLee Mar 21 Ridiculously quotable dumb comedies are my cinematic bread and butter and it doesn't get much more gloriously silly than this film. Certainly time has taken a toll on the already marginal special effects but this remains one of my top ten comedies. See more Read all reviews
