MCT:May 14, 2008BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986)
diected by John Carpenter
starring Kurt Russell, Dennis Dun, Kim Cattrall«All I know is that this Lo Pan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds while he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him with light coming out of his mouth!»
Trucker-philosopher-adventurer Jack Burton finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong moment when his truck is stolen by the same people who kidnapped his Chinese pal's newly arrived girlfriend. It gives him two good reasons to go fight some type of immortal ghostly man and his three supernatural fighters. With his Harley Davidson baseball cap, a white tank top and a mullet, Jack Burton was born ready for that kind of action.Big Trouble in Little China is one of my childhood classics. The plot is preposterous but the acting is done in the right tone and the visual effects were quite good for 1986. John Carpenter's rocking score helps the campy effect some decades later.
Kurt Russell is Jack Burton, a memorable character who speaks only in one-liners, and Russell, delivers them perfectly, hilarious everytime. The rest of the cast need not to be mentionned cause, they are all stuck in Russell's shadow.
Big Trouble ... looks like a videogames sometimes, and its similarities with the Mortal Kombat game is sometimes surprising, though this film was obviously made before.
Not the best of films but I cant really help liking it, its entertaining as hell and those one-liners are hilarious. That film actually scared me as a kid because of the many weird creatures.

MCT:May 12, 2008as a child, i was brought up on this film, at 16 years of age now, i still love it. a random, but fun plot to follow, and characters that make you wonder why they are there in the 1st place, this film is still great to watch, a classic film.

MCT:May 3, 2008Brought the magic and mysticism of old style Chinese martial arts movies to American cinema and combined them with classic comedy for a really good time! One of my favorites.

Yes it has a completley ridiculous, silly plot about black magic and a 200 year old sorceror ghost needing a green eyed chinese woman to become flesh and blood, but it's just so damn entertaining. Kurt Russell is good as the passing through trucker who gets caught up in the madness and a pre Sex and the City Kim Cattrall plays the love interest. The movies full of action, the effects are a little dated but its great fun.

MCT:April 22, 2008A brilliant reunion of Carpenter and Russell. A little cheesy, but martial arts and Carpenter fans will appreciate it.
