Big trouble in little China remains a classic. Original, so original, 20th Century Fox didn't know how to promote. The film bombed but has grown it's worthy cult following. The team of John carpenter and Kurt Russell works well, for the film. It's, everything, horror, action, fantasy and, comedy. Good action, a little Die hard channelling and, the pre-curser to Mortal Kombat. It has gore for slasher fans, mystery, psychological thrills, comedy, done good by Russell, and, is just an interesting concept. may the useless Rock NOT touch this, otherwise he'd be in BIGGER trouble. may his little candy ass fingers stay away, he RUINED DIE HARD with Sky crap, ah. Yea Big trouble in little China, from the creative and visionary John Carpenter, who KNOWS how to make great films, just, at times some fall flat, can have 1 or a couple duds. This is a GEM, a rare diamond, that had it rough, and over time, got the love it deserved then and has earnt to this day. Get the beer flowing, the pizza stuffin and, get ready to rumble in a showdown, not in little Tokyo but, a standoff and more in Big trouble in little China, it's all in the re-watches.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is to Alfred Hitchcock what Big Trouble in Little China is to John Carpenter. I was flabbergasted to learn that the director I thought of strictly as a horror director actually had an action/adventure comedy under his belt. John Carpenter directed Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall Big Trouble in Little China in 1986. Big Trouble in Little China tells the story of an American truck driver who gets roped into a mythical Chinese battle. John Carpenter directing an action film was enough to bring a film to my attention, even if I was not especially fond of the genre.Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) accompanies a friend to the airport when he arrives in SanFransisco. Jack's friend is smitten by this woman and the only thing he knows about her is that she is Chinese and has green eyes. Upon her arrival to the airport, the two men see that she is kidnapped by a Chinese street gang. When they chase after the girl, they realize that a Chinese sorcerer is responsible for her kidnapping. This sorcerer has existed for more than 2000 years and does not require a body to occupy space. In order to retrieve his physical being, the sorcerer must marry a Chinese woman with green eyes. Jack teams up with a lawyer he meets, Gracie Law (Kim Cattrall) who agrees to assist him during his quest through the underground portion of Chinatown. Encountering new mythic hurdles at every turn, Jack has his work cut out for him in Little China.As noted, a curiosity of John Carpenter making a non-horror film is the only thing that brought me to Big Trouble in Little China. I haven't seen much of Kurt Russell's work, and there's nothing in this film to endear him to me any further. Granted there is enough comedy in this film to make sense, but Kurt Russell's over-the-top comedic performance was hammy, to say the least. One bright spot was the sound in this film. It could be only because it was an 80's film, but Big Trouble in Little China sounded very much like a John Carpenter film. There's not too much to take away from Big Trouble in Little China, unless you're a massive John Carpenter fan and commit to see everything he's ever made. I wish I could remember who told me I wouldn't like this, I'd like to let them know they were right.

I wish that fun-tastic was actually a word because if it was it would have been the perfect word I could use to describe what I think about this movie. Big Trouble in Little China is a very fun movie and far from what you would usually expect from John Carpenter, it's a fun and funny adventure that is one of his best movies and one of Kurt Russell's best performances.Big Trouble in Little China is incredibly strange and bizarre but everything works together to create a very fun movie experience. It might be a little bit "adult" themed or a tad scary for younger children but for the most part parents and kids would all enjoy this movie experience.Lots of great action and good (for its time) effects combined with really funny moments.

This cult classic is one of carpenters best And without doubt one of Kurt Russell's best movies It's a movie that just works on every level With a cast that just nails it its one of those rare movies That has a cast that is just perfect It really found its audience on VHS and continues to today on DVD and Blue-Ray The movie center's around Jack Burton (Russell) and his bizarre conflict within, and underneath, the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown Lo-Pan an evil sorcerer kidnaps his best friend Wang Chi's fiancé He and Wang Chi set off to get back Wang Chi's fiancé With the help of a few friends along the way The great thing about this movie and what makes it so funny Is the movie is meant to be an action movie but it's got so much comedy What I love about it is despite Jack Burton being Put up as the hero and Wang Chi the side kick it's actually the other way Wang Chi is really the guy who tends to get the two out of trouble Why Burton well Burton is basically John Wayne without the Brain You must see it it's a classic
