Sammo Hung does his impression of Bruce Lee in this comedy kung fu flick. I guess technically he does his impression of a guy obsessed with Bruce Lee who wishes he was the king of martial arts. The humour, as in most Hong Kong films, is pretty retarded. Probably the goofiest thing in this is that one of Sammo's big enemy showdowns at the end is with an Asian fellow in blackface and a big afro wig. The most offensive thing, to me anyway, was Sammo punching a bunch of pigs for training right at the start of the film. If you want a lot of goofiness with your fighting this might be to your liking.
This is one of Sammo's first directorial jobs and he would go on to make 35 more features including that WHEELS ON MEALS with Jackie Chan that I recall being pretty good.
There is a 2020 ENTER THE FAT DRAGON with Donnie Yen in a fat suit and a bunch of CGI but it doesn't look like a remake or even very good at all.
