Description:
Directed by thrill master John Carpenter, this edgo-of-your seat adventrue stars Kurt Russell as Jack Burton, a tough-talking, wisecracking truck driver whose hum-drum life on the road takes a sudden supernatural tailspin when his best friend's fiancee is kidnapped. Speeding to the rescue, Jack finds himself deep beneath San Francisco's Chinatown, in a murky, creature-filled world ruled by Lo Pan, a 2000-year-old magician who mercilessly presides over an empire of spirits. Dodging demons and facing baffling terrors, Jack battles his way through Lo Pan's dark domain in a full-throttle, action-riddled ride to rescue the girl. Co-starring Kim Cattrall, this effects-filled sci-fi spectacle speeds to an incredible, twist-taking finish.

Once you settle into the realization that this 1986 John Carpenter (Halloween) film is not going to be one of the director's more masterful works, Big Trouble in Little China just becomes a full-tilt comic blast. Kurt Russell is hilarious as a drawling, would-be John Wayne hero who steps into the middle of a supernatural war in the heart of Chinatown. While kung fu warriors and otherworldly spirits battle over the fate of two women (Kim Cattrall and Suzee Pai), Russell's swaggering idiot manages to knock himself out or underestimate the forces he's dealing with. The whole thing is dopey, but it's supposed to be dopey and Russell's game performance brings an ironic edge. Carpenter directs some nifty spook effects (the sudden arrival of three martial arts demigods from out of nowhere is worth applause), and he also wrote the music. --Tom Keogh

This movie is good. It has some swearing in it but the kids liked it a lot.

Big Trouble in Little China is a cult classic. Like most cult classics (Raising Arizona, Robocop, Matrix, Dumb and Dumber, etc.) you're either going to "get" this movie or you won't. The FX in this movie can be cheesy - they didn't have a huge budget. But what works fantastically with the script is the off the wall fusion of red neck machismo and Kung Fu mysticism. Kurt Russell gives a memorable performance as the fearless and not so bright hero of the story, all the while doing this lame John ... Read More

I remember seeing this movie on tv growing up and some many charactors stuck with me long before Mortal Kombat hit the USA on Sega.
This was one of the first few movies I got when I started my collection that I was excited to have found.
The story line is solid, the special effects were .. well it was filmed in the 80's common! The charactors were likeable and have super natural powers. Jack's disbelief of the situation was real for anyone put in his place.
It ... Read More

Ok, I'm not a professional movie critic (although my family tells me all the time I should have been) so I won't give a wordy detail by detail review of this entire film.
Let me say that this has been one of, if not my absolute favourite films of all time, since I was about 5 and first saw it on HBO or Cinemax many years ago. Kurt Russel became one of my first loves/heroes after I saw this. It is truly a movie of the 80's since it has both a cool soundtrack, and a very witty one-of-a-kind story plot ... Read More

Big Trouble In Little China is a film that takes itself not too seriously and thus comes across as pure fun and entertainment. Kurt Russell is cast perfectly as trucker Jack Burton, the not so cool hero who can't shoot a gun straight, wears suede boots with tight blue-jeans tucked in them, and needs a posse of Chinese warriors to help him save the day. Kim Cattrall is a refreshing presence as Russell's love interest; I wish she would have been cast in more light films such as this. Can director Carpenter ... Read More
