Enter the Fat Dragon (Traditional Chinese: 肥龍過江; Jyutping: Fei4 Lung4 Gwo3gong1) is a 1978 Hong Kong action film directed by and starring Sammo Hung. The film is mostly a parody of the Bruce Lee film Way of the Dragon, and a satire of the Brucesploitation phenomenon of the '70s.
The film had a belated video release in the United States, eventually coming out in 1999 after director and actor Sammo Hung became an unexpected success with his American TV series Martial Law.
Ah Lung is a pig farmer and a devoted Bruce Lee fan who is anxious to follow in Lee's footsteps, but only ridiculed for his attempts. He is sent to the city to earn a living working at his uncle's restaurant, but when he arrives, he finds a gang of thugs causing trouble in the restaurant. He takes the chance to prove himself and attacks the thugs, defeating them and saving the restaurant. Soon, he becomes a waiter, and discovers a plot by the same thugs to kidnap a woman he works with. Eventually, he defeats the thugs once again and saves the day.
