Sammo Hung's action movie form of a tribute to legend Bruce Lee who he previously worked with in Enter the Dragon. Enter the Fat Dragon's fight scenes are some of the best I've ever seen from Sammo Hung. Amazing how with his weight he is so fluent. The humor is also pretty neat too, as well as the soundtrack.
When I can, I'm watching SKINNY TIGER, FAT DRAGON.
A great mix of cartoony with wonderful action, a great morale, subtle references to Lee's films such as FIST OF FURY and WAY OF THE DRAGON. For anyone who is a martial arts enthusiast, this is the film for you.
My second favourite BHC film. Felt slightly more childish because of Wonder World, but I absolutely love this movie!! Wish there were more uses of Axel F, and I wanted Taggart back.
Probably my least favourite entry to the series - the last fight scene with the guns and everything was pretty cool but everything else was extremely dull and hard to remember. If you can't remember the movie, don't bother to since that means it was probably really boring. And that's what this film was. Really boring.
I watched this film during school holidays a while ago and I really liked it. I don't know who wrote it but they are a fricking genius because this movie is great. Most people only watched it for the comedy but I watched it for the action, and appreciated both aspects of the movie.
Now we're talking.. this Karate Kid is once again an All Valley tournament and takes place in the location from the first film. But is it really that good? Ehh.
The fight scenes and story are pretty good, but the action department is mediocre, especially the final fight scene. Mike Barnes really should've won. Daniel would have lost if the film was realistic.
The plot twist in this film was pretty predictable and it wasn't as surprising. This film introduced Terry Silver to the Cobra Kai series, the evil moron he is.
Anyways, I still cannot get myself to completely hate this film, so I give it a
Oh waa blah blah blah the Karate Kid 2 is such a bad sequel blah blah- SHUT THE HELL UP. THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE. IT IS CRIMINNALLY UNDERATED. I WILL DEFEND IT UNTIL I DIE. HELL, I MAY EVEN DEFEND IT AFTER I DIE.
So, I will admit, this film and it's predecessor are two completely different ideas. They take place miles away. The first one is about a boy competing in a Kung Fu tournament to prove to his bully he's strong. And this one is about that boy traveling to Japan with his master.
So of course, this film has such a different feel to it and a very unique story that's hard to follow. And I'm honestly digging it.
I enjoyed every fight in this film heavily. Every action sequence, every plot twist. I watched it and I loved it. Hell, I might even watch the movie again. Get it on DVD AND Blu-Ray.
