Carlos T Filme: Operação Dragão Gordo Assistido: 23-01-25 Elenco: @sammo_hung_fanpage @sammohung_ @yuenbiao @chilingchiu Modelo: #artesmarciais #kungfu #ação Duração: 1h 40m Ano: 1978 Minha opinião: Para quem assistiu nas noites de sábado o programa Faixa Preta na Band, que passava os filmes de Kung-Fu ou quando fazia a locação dos filmes passados no Japão e que víamos aqui no Brasil em fita VHS. E naquela época assisti a este filme, depois fiquei procurando e procurando e por décadas não havia encontrado e agora encontrei no Youtube. Uma comédia de Kung-fu, onde temos Sammo Hung sendo um grande fã de Bruce Lee, e imita os trejeitos de Bruce Lee e o estilo de luta. E vai morar com o tio em Hong Kong, mas a vida lá é do avesso. E Sammo se mete toda hora em uma situação, rolo, bagunça e atrapalhada. E toda hora tendo que usar seu Kung-Fu alá Bruce Lee. E no final ele tem enfrentar 3 grandes lutadores. Com boas coreografias, roteiro e enredo e lembrando 1978 onde o cinema de Hong Kong não era grande coisa e muito limitada. Roteiro e enredo inteligente e comico, divertido e com boas cenas de luta. Vale apena assistir? Sim para os amantes de Faixa Preta. Nota: 8 pela nostalgia 9. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Audience Member Enter the Fat Dragon, despite its fun title, is actually one of the weakest Sammo Hung classics, featuring only mild elements of what makes his movies so great. The action isn't quite as plentiful, the main character is a reckless and dumb at times, and the comedy, while certainly containing some cute jokes, just isn't as good as usual. It's sorta like watching a Monty Python sketch that has the general ingredients but just isn't as funny as it should be; Enter the Fat Dragon is the Kung-Fu Classic equivalent to that. It has a surprisingly thin plot that barely manages to keep everything together until the climax, and (not to sound all social-justice) it's really odd watching a Chinese actor with black-face talking in broken English/Jive. Then, to top it all off, while the actual action in the climax is entertaining, the movie makes one final mistake: The action itself is only against the main villain's henchmen; the final villain is dealt with separately, and not really in a way that's satisfying in its own. Oh, and one more thing: The opening of this movie actually showed some rather poor treatment of pigs; I actually felt awful watching this opening bit. Now, I've harped on about this movie very negatively, and ultimately I am overselling the problems - the movie has a decent enough pace and energy, what little plot the movie possesses is never convoluted or incoherent, and the fight choreography is about as good as you'd expect for a Sammo Hung movie. It's still a Kung-Fu Classic - it's just not a very good one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A very passable kung-fu movie starring Sammo Hung. It's funny and action packed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member An affectionate, amusing homage to Bruce Lee and ENTER THE DRAGON. Sammo replicates Bruce Lee's moves and demeanor amazingly well, adding his own sly wink of humor at the ridiculousness of the endeavor. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a comedy parody of Bruce Lee movie. Mixture of comedy and fighting but not enough from either Sammo Hung is a pig farmer send to the big city to help his uncle stall. He looks like peeing from back view when the police approach him but he is actually squeeze dry his soaked clothes. Sammo arrive at the place and accidentally broke some bowls from Meg Lam and she demand compensation from the uncle. Their stalls are front and back in a small backlane. Lu Chu Shih is the store assistant. Ankie Lau & Lee Hye-suk are two regulars at the stall. Sammo is doing delivery when he help a lady chase after 2 robbers. When he return the food are stolen. Some gangsters eat for free at Meg stall and she want them to visit the other stall next time. They really came and even beat Lu. Sammo beat them up and get the money. The uncle blame Lu because his dream is to be artist. So he left and his old friends want him to imitate art to sell. He refuse that. The gangsters return and destroy the stall and Sammo isn't around. He find a job in the same restaurant the 2 ladies work. A caucasian try to get fresh with Lee and the manager step in. They says Chinese kungfu is no good and Sammo is angry. He beat them up and they quickly run off. Lu now drive taxi. His old pals vandalize his taxi. One of them drove off the car. Another same car driven by the restaurant manager park at the lot. Sammo help Lu by vandalizing the car. Roy Chiao is the gangster boss. Peter Yeung is a rich businessman who collect antique. He have 3 skilled martial artist as bodyguard. He saw Lee and reminded of a girl he cannot win the heart. He step on her cheongsam and she is embarrass. Sammo got drunk and beat up the 2 thugs that bully Lu. The 3 bodyguard (including Leung Ka Yan) throw Sammo to the pool. They were both sack from the job. Sammo took up an extra role in movie. He criticize the actor doesn't look like Bruce Lee. He hit Sammo for real and he got angry and beat him back. The director and extras are beaten up too. The 2 thugs are at the re-open stall and they put drugs into the soup serve to Lee. They pretend to bring her to hospital. Ankie tell Sammo and Lu. The thugs bring her to Peter and Roy seal the deal. Sammo fight the 3 fighters one by one and win. Finally he want to go back and feel the city life isn't suitable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Sammo Hung Kam-Bo was one of my favorite action heroes I adored as a kid. He was as comical and strong as Jackie Chan. Where is he now, by the way? Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
