  • The only bad thing anyone can say about the movie Big Trouble In Little China is the depression that comes from realizing how much better movies were and that we all know they're somehow only going to get worse. While that's terrible, Big Trouble In Little China still exists so you should just shut up and watch that instead of being a crybaby loser.

    In reality Wang Chi is the hero. He has the hero ark. Restaurant owner who's girlfriend was kidnapped by an evil, supernatural entity has to fight against all odds to get her back. I think people back then didn't understand how ahead of it's time this movie was.
    PS.: Kim Cattrall was an absolute eye opener.

All I know is this Vader character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn hallway while the stormtroopers are shooting everywhere yet still can't hit a target, and he just stands there waiting for me to shoot straight through him, with red light coming out of his sword.

    Fun fact: this movie was one of the main inspirations for the Mortal Kombat videogame franchise.
    MK creator Ed Boon, has stated in interviews that they pretty much based Shang Tsung's look on Lo Pang and Raiden's design is based on the henchman who shoots out lightning here.
    So... thank you John Carpenter & Kurt Russell, not only for giving us a kickass movie but also helping in the creation of a beloved videogame franchise.

    My friend Kurt showed me this movie, on a pirated VHS tape, at his house shortly after it came out. Someone in his family somehow knew someone and he always had early pirates, but I digress. That movie blew my 11-year-old mind. 80's movies, man, they just had something, call it soul. My mind was blown those summers on movies like this, Golden Child, Rocky 4, Rambo, fucking ninja movies, and the man himself, Chuck Norris.

      That's because the joke is Jack isn't even the actual hero. Wang is the hero. Jack is just an average everyday working class man who just wants his truck back! And Kurt kept his character so consistent to the end. He wouldn't be Jack if he stopped to kiss the girl!

    This movie might be a perfect thing. And a flick that's legitimately something special - there's NOTHING like it. An actually unique "stand alone" thing that hasn't even been duplicated, let alone repeated to death. And it's sooooo good. All they have to do is leave it alone and NOT make a follow up.
