Enter the Fat Dragon (Chinese: 肥龍過江) is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts film starring and directed by Sammo Hung. The film is mostly a parody of the Bruce Lee film Way of the Dragon (1972), and a satire of the Bruceploitation phenomenon of the 1970s. Its English title references another Bruce Lee film, Enter the Dragon (1973).
The film had a belated video release in the United States, eventually coming out in 1999 after Hung became an unexpected success with his American TV series Martial Law.
In November 2017, it was announced that Donnie Yen would star in a remake of the film, directed by Kenji Tanigaki and Aman Chang. The film was released in 2020, but was not a remake.
