Enter the Fat Dragon

1978, R, 100 min. Directed by Sammo Hung. Starring Sammo Hung, Roy Chiao, Fat Chung, Hark-On Fung.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., May 28, 2002

Trouble follows the character played by Sammo Hung wherever he goes. But, fortunately, he learned to fight by imitating his idol, the great Bruce Lee. The fight scenes are deft but played for comedy as a fat-looking Bruce Lee saves the day.
