Review of Enter the Fat Dragon (1978) by Movie K — 06 Jan 2014

This is a comedy parody of Bruce Lee movie. Mixture of comedy and fighting but not enough from either Sammo Hung is a pig farmer send to the big city to help his uncle stall. He looks like peeing from back view when the police approach him but he is actually squeeze dry his soaked clothes.

Sammo arrive at the place and accidentally broke some bowls from Meg Lam and she demand compensation from the uncle. Their stalls are front and back in a small backlane. Lu Chu Shih is the store assistant.

Ankie Lau & Lee Hye-suk are two regulars at the stall. Sammo is doing delivery when he help a lady chase after 2 robbers. When he return the food are stolen. Some gangsters eat for free at Meg stall and she want them to visit the other stall next time.

They really came and even beat Lu. Sammo beat them up and get the money. The uncle blame Lu because his dream is to be artist. So he left and his old friends want him to imitate art to sell. He refuse that.

The gangsters return and destroy the stall and Sammo isn't around. He find a job in the same restaurant the 2 ladies work. A caucasian try to get fresh with Lee and the manager step in. They says Chinese kungfu is no good and Sammo is angry.

He beat them up and they quickly run off. Lu now drive taxi. His old pals vandalize his taxi. One of them drove off the car. Another same car driven by the restaurant manager park at the lot. Sammo help Lu by vandalizing the car.

Roy Chiao is the gangster boss. Peter Yeung is a rich businessman who collect antique. He have 3 skilled martial artist as bodyguard. He saw Lee and reminded of a girl he cannot win the heart. He step on her cheongsam and she is embarrass.

Sammo got drunk and beat up the 2 thugs that bully Lu. The 3 bodyguard (including Leung Ka Yan) throw Sammo to the pool. They were both sack from the job. Sammo took up an extra role in movie. He criticize the actor doesn't look like Bruce Lee.

He hit Sammo for real and he got angry and beat him back. The director and extras are beaten up too. The 2 thugs are at the re-open stall and they put drugs into the soup serve to Lee. They pretend to bring her to hospital.

Ankie tell Sammo and Lu. The thugs bring her to Peter and Roy seal the deal. Sammo fight the 3 fighters one by one and win. Finally he want to go back and feel the city life isn't suitable.
