At one point, in early 2020, the new version of Enter the
Fat Dragon looked to be one of the more exciting and intriguing releases of
the year. Now that most of the theatrical system has been completely stripped
of life, it may be one of the few releases that the US sees from the normally
booming Chinese market. Still, it’s always a welcome addition to the collection
when a Donnie Yen film hits Blu Ray and any fan of the actor will want to add
this one to theirs.
While you can read my full review for the film HERE, the gist
of it remains the same: Enter the Fat Dragon is a highly entertaining
action comedy that blends modern effects with old school slapstick martial arts
set-pieces. Granted, it’s a film that’s not for everyone as the comedy is very
broad with plenty of pop culture references and outlandishly convoluted set
ups, but the action is so blissfully fun that it powers through the more
tentative narrative and character elements that can bog down the plot. It’s
hardly a perfect film, but there is a lot of heart, humor, and high-flying
kicks to keep most martial arts fans amused.
The latest Blu Ray release for the film, courtesy of our
friends over at Well Go USA is a slick a fantastic addition to the collection.
The film doesn’t have any special features outside of some trailers, but the
fantastic picture and sound quality on the Blu – for a film with plenty of big
visuals like its finale, it’s the best way to experience the film. If you don’t
have a Blu Ray player, there is a DVD version available too.
Enter the Fat Dragon is out now from Well Go USA.
