During a recent press conference to promote their latest movie Chasing The Dragon, Donnie Yen and Wong Jing took the opportunity to reveal their upcoming movie collaboration with a movie poster and life-size standee of Yen in a fat suit.

It appears to be a remake of Enter The Fat Dragon, a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts film which starred a very young Sammo Hung. Hung also served as film director and action choreographer for the movie. In it, Hung plays a country bumpkin who is a huge fan of Bruce Lee. So, all his fight scenes were set up as a tribute to Bruce Lee’s 1973 kung fu movie Way Of The Dragon (also known as Return Of The Dragon).
