He’s bigger, bolder, and back to break bones — and maybe a few buffet tables.
“Enter the Fat Dragon (2025)” explodes back onto the screen as a high-octane martial arts comedy that proves once again that size doesn’t define skill — or heart. Directed by Wong Jing and Kenji Tanigaki, this sequel brings back Donnie Yen as the lovable, overweight but deadly supercop, Zhu Fulong, in a new case that’s bigger, bolder, and even more absurd.
Now a minor celebrity after his Tokyo mission, Fulong is reluctantly pulled back into action when a priceless artifact vanishes during a museum gala in Macau. To recover it, he must go undercover in a luxury culinary contest — which is, of course, also a front for an international smuggling ring. Between chopsticks and chokeslams, Fulong has to balance brutal battles with buffet tables.
“Enter the Fat Dragon (2025)” delivers everything fans expect: lightning-fast fight choreography, laugh-out-loud gags, and Donnie Yen's impeccable physical comedy. Despite his bulked-up frame, Yen showcases jaw-dropping agility, spinning through kitchen fights and escalator showdowns with precision and flair.
While it revels in chaos, the film also touches on themes of self-acceptance, image obsession, and finding strength in unexpected places. Fulong’s personal journey — dealing with public scrutiny, romantic misunderstandings, and his own body image — adds surprising emotional weight beneath the slapstick.
Packed with stylish slow-motion punches, wacky villains, and dumplings used as weapons, “Enter the Fat Dragon (2025)” is a joyful celebration of martial arts mayhem. Whether you’re a kung fu fan or just hungry for a good laugh, this film hits hard and lands with heart.
