Big Trouble In Little China Will Make You Hate Today's Movies Even More - Best Movie Ever

- 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.

Huntsman Winters War is so bad it married my sister
That is for real one of my favorit movies
These don't work with good movies. This is the only time I gave a thumbs down.

Jack Burton is the hero we all need
All he wants is his truck back!
But Seagal is the hero we deserve
Indeed. Go away now.
Henry Swanson's my name and Tatiana is my game!
Go away now!
This movie teaches you how to fight, talk to women, settle gambling debts, back your friends, work as a successful entrepreneur, and basically punch way above your weight on sheer obnoxious confidence. Jack Burton is America.
the American way. It’s all in the reflexes 😉
Here here!
America is just bombing children abroad.
This movies a teacher?
Wait how did this movie teavh me to be an entrepreneur? I can kinda understand the others in ways but that where?
One night in a pub I was with a group of friends, the guy sitting opposite from me went to pick up his beer and knocked it over, he attempted to grab it and ended up knocking it towards me, quick reaction I caught it we laughed a girl asked "how did you do that?" I turned to her and said "it's all in the reflexes" NOT ONE OF THE USELESS TWATS GOT IT...this is one of the greatest films ever made.
I hope you got some new friends (or at the very least, sat them down and made them watch this film. )
You gotta HATE when noone gets the reference!
I kid you not, but I did basically the same! "TENET shit". Practically kicked the bottle back to the table upright. But it doesn't work every time. Last time it was 5 for the glass I broke.
Uncultured swine!
Maybe even better, now it's your original.
Big Trouble in Little China was one of the trippiest 80's action movies ever. So wild, we need more movies like this!
Unfortunately never will happen.
In the late 80’s, early 90’s, I was a single mom of 3, barely making ends meet. But every Friday we went to Blockbuster and they each got a movie and then we got pizza delivered. This movie and Ghostbusters were on perpetual rotation. I watched them dozens of times with my kids. Great memories were made. Now I wish I could go back, even just for a day. I clicked Like before I even started the video. Thanks!
Should have kept your legs closed.
Life is great isn't it. I hope you're doing fine now, you and your kids. God blesa you
❤❤😊
we love you mom
The quintessential 90’s family night 💙💙💙
"Being coherent doesn't have sh*t on being AWESOME" that's the best summary of _Big Trouble in Little China_ I've ever heard
You want to know another guy that lives by that line? Scott Stiener.
Damn right brother the check is in the mail :D
I absolutely love this movie. Jack Burton, the sidekick who is convinced that he is the hero.
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.
@@MeandMrBonezyou should see her in Mannequin ❤
"People back then" totally got it... and a lot of other amazing 80's movies.
*An absolute zipper opener
I also saw Jack Burton as the bumbling hero like Ash Williams from Evil Dead.
This movie was cool in that respect. The main character wasn't the hero and it works.
One of the most amazing movies ever. The cast, the action, the plot, all the craziness going on... truly a masterpiece.
I have watched this film at least 900 or so times in the past 37 years and can confirm that this is exactly how everything happens.
Amateur! I've watched it 902 times in 36 years, 10 1/2 months. 🤓
I wore out a VHS copy of this movie back when VCRs still existed. Funny that many of the tapes I wore out were Kurt Russell films like Tango & cash and of course Used cars!
"I guarantee you whoever's in that coffin is fucking dead" genius.
Kurt Russell is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He can do it all and does it well!
"Human trafficking victims have all the luck." I literally spat out my water laughing.
i've been telling people for years that this is the best movie ever made. it's pure entertainment, something modern movies forget they are supposed to be.
Well said.
@@cenciende9401 i am not wrong, i remember lots of bad movies from back then, but i sure don't remember any entertaining movies from this decade.
@@cenciende9401So it shouldn't be difficult for you to name these entertaining movies from the present day.
Name them.
Let's compare bad old movies to some bad new movies. Like Ghoulies vs the Eternals.
Years.... Listen, is it just me or did that eyeball thing look like something that might have inspired Cacodemon in DOOM?
When i found out henry swanson was kurt russel the whole time, my mind was blown. Henry swanson wears glasses. Kurt russel is way too cool to wear nerd goggles. The special effects were nuts
We all got F'n Swansoned!
@@meoff7602and loved every second of it
Likely an homage to Bruce Lee in Fists Of Fury :)
@outdoorsman407 that movie had the biggest plot hole and cases of false advertising in movie history. His feet were ALSO furious. That could have been a big twist for the sequel
😂
Watching Kurt Russell play Jack Burton playing John Wayne is Oscar worthy stuff.
Don't forget he also played as Henry Swanson.
This is how you do it. So good it hurts and no sequel or anything. Long live the 80s!
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.
Also, young Kim Cattrall was smoking hot!
Another funny videogame trivia, the whole Jack Burton not being the "Hero" but focus on him would later be an inspiration for Metal Gear Solid 2 where we play as Raiden instead of Solid Snake.
Wow that makes so much sense now, mainly the raider character.
Thanks for the info.
And yes, Kim Cattrall is gorgeous in this movie
I always considered him the first Raiden, even before I knew it was based on him. He's a pretty badass character.
Kim’s like 60 now and still hot 🔥
And the Three Storms are based on the Lords of Death from the Lone Wolf and Son series (or Shogun Assassin whichever you prefer).
Jack Burton's quotes are legendary. Can you imagine if Kurt played Han Solo in Star Wars?
What does that mean? "Force is strong"? I don't even know what the hell that means. 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.
🤣👍
😎👍
Its all in the reflexes
"And im sitting there thinking, have these weirdos paid their dues"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
God, you had to be there. It was a magical time to be alive.
“Human trafficking victims have all the luck” made me laugh way harder than it was probably considered appropriate to 😂💀
There's no such thing as watching this movie too many times. Unabashedly fun and unpretentious, Big Trouble is a forever favorite and further proof of why Kurt Russell is quietly one of the best actors in Hollywood. And congratulations on "You got Swansoned!"
I agree, one of my favorites from my childhood and it never gets old. Watch it all the time. They don't make em like this anymore.
He ought to be one of the best actors in Hollywood he's been starring in movies in like 7 different decades. The guy was a child actor making Disney movies in the late 60's. I think his first film was in black and white.
Yep, maybe it is a sign of some sort of mental disorder, (obsessive compulsive perhaps?) but I will continue to watch & enjoy this movie over & over again!
Even though I could probably quote the ENTIRE thing from start to finish already. (no joke)
It's all in the reflexes..
🍻
It’s got magic, kung fu fights, bad ass villains, and Kurt Russell. What else could you want in a movie?
An eye patch like Snake’s?
Gratuitous nudity.
Don't forget Bill Burr too
Trans Ams, green eyed beauties, no terrible CGI and..........wait........never mind.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt is a ‘trans Am” a car that used to be a different body style? Just asking
"They demand to talk to his boss, Bill Burr."
Holy shit dude, that killed me🤣
This is one of my favorites , watched it with my dad all the time . Easy to hate movies nowadays when they can’t even create lead characters we care about like Jack and Wang .
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s all in the reflexes. Over 30 years later and this movie still kicks ass.
Only person he kills in the whole movie
Actually no. He does shoot a few people.
words cannot describe how much I love this movie... this movie , a fish called wanda and big lebowski are my three all time favorites
Well that's just like your opinion man.
"We know, that this is your homework. We know that you stole the car"
(The Dude)"And the fucking money"
"AND the fucking money!"
Three movies I remember seeing the cases as child, but didn’t watch until I was an adult.
@@Chaos8282 ususally when someone tells you their favorites of something it is indeed an opinion. Youre pretty clever, well done!
My three faves: Carpenter’s “The Thing,” Verhoeven’s “Robocop” and Raimi’s “Army of Darkness”
I grew up with this movie. We had a few VHS cassettes. This was one of them. I saw this movie at least 500 times. We would all say the lines and fight the fights as kids.
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.
When this movie was new in the theaters, 17yr old me went to see it and was blown completely away! Now here we are in the 21st century, 2023 an still NO ONE has been able to match this gem.
We wouldn't even have Mortal Kombat without Kurt Russell and this movie.
I’ve always firmly held the belief that Mortal Kombat was HIGHLY influenced by this film.
@@hawk66100 MK creator Ed Boon has in fact confirmed this in interviews.
Yes Rayden was designed after the three warriors, lightning wind and thunder or whatever their names are 😂
@@zombieparrot2606 And Shang Tsung was obviously influenced by Lopan.
Mortal Kombat is heavily influenced by Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon.
This movie just transports me to my childhood in the 90s. That ultra comfortable feeling of being sucked in and enjoying a movie as a kid.
I can't believe that nobody took a quick trip to Thailand to see JCVD's sick dance moves at any point during this awesome movie. 3 out of 5 ⭐
This movie makes me want to get a degree in quantum mechanics and engineering so I can create a portal to alternate dimensions, where this movie was a huge hit and started a series of “Jack Burton” movies like the “Indiana Jones” franchise… a better world.
Just make a portal gun like in Rick and Morty and you can go to whatever version of earth you want.
Hell yeah..my guy... I'm coming with...
What would be cool:
Jack Burton meeting up with Ashley J Williams along the way giving us the weirdest 'buddy cop' variant film ever. Kurt Russell and Bruce Campbell at the heights of their hamminess... hell, I bet you Raimi and Carpenter would mark tf out for that. 👍
@@thepolarphantasm2319 Can we also have Buckaroo Banzai join them?
@@deathrictus6000 I mean yeah, totally... they gotta blow up the car in the movie though, but that way they can use Jack's truck in the sequel 😂
I lost it when he called Wang a degenerate gambler. 😂
Kim Cattrall is so sweet in this one, I love her. John Carpenter and Kurt Russell are one of the best duos ever. We need more films like this!
She was truly beautiful, one of the first women I have ever been attracted to when I was only a child.
@@bofpwet9500 Yes, mate, I agree. My first love was princess Leia.
Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher, you'll stay forever in our hearts. 😥
I remember when I was a kid going into blockbuster with my dad and seeing big trouble in little China available in the new release section and we both got freaked out excited and it did not disappoint as I recall
In high school, we had a fat kid on our football team we called "The Pork Chop Express."
lmao
Today, they call him "The Rock".
I think every middle school team had a "pork chop"
He never ran faster than he could see.
You’re saying you pinned the kid I see..hmm…where you fromings?
I already hate today's movies. With that said I absolutely love this movie!
Makes sense that this makes no sense
I have Jack Burton’s tank top and I wear it all the time. Still waiting for someone to notice 😕
“Hereditary,” “The Lighthouse” and “The Northman” are all great movies that have been released in the past 5 years
@@gregbors8364 yes those are good films
@@gregbors8364mid at best
I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched this movie. It had a nice balance of action, comedy, and originality. This is where I fell in love with Kim Cattrall over and over again.
Oh my god. Thank you. Thank you for including Jack Burton in your list of greatest heroes. Your stock just keeps going up. 😎👍
Still one of my favorite movies! I remember being a kid in the 80's and thinking this movie was the BEST thing ever!
im an adult in 2023 and i still think that
It is!
What if I told you the shit you remember thinking was cool as a kid….
….still is?
-Sseth Tzeentach.
One of the greatest movies ever made period! My dad showed me this movie when I was seven years old back in 89.
I just found this video and channel today. I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna puke on my lap. This is freaking awesome!
“A massive gang war involving 2 Chinese gangs- and one Hispanic.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m absolutely dead
That throwing knife kill at the end was one of the coolest things I ever saw when I was a kid. Also Kim Cattrall looks gorgeous in this.
She was gorgeous in Mannequin as well.
She's just overall gorgeous!
true fact: that’s actually Kim Cattrall’s great great grandmother
How is no one mentioning Kim Catrall from Porkie’s when talking about Kim a att rel movies?
I remember her in Police Academy too!
When this came out on VHS, we watched it all the time that summer. God today's movies suck and I really feel bad for the kids who don't have role models like Jack Burton. The end scene when they ask him if he's going to kiss her goodbye and he says "Nope". Just legendary!
As a kid, I think I rented this close to 10 times when this came out on VHS.
@@cenciende9401"Ackshually...I think you'll find..." You must be fun at parties. Wait, you don't get invited, that explains everything.
@@CrookedSkew My dad acquired this on VHS tape from a friend who had a double deck recorder. Mannequin was the second movie on the tape but we usually just pressed rewind when big trouble was done. I guess I watched it at least 50 time. No exaggeration.
What I loved about this movie was the end. He LEAVES the girl Doesn't kiss her doesn't fall for her and they drive off into the sunset. He just LEAVES. It is insane and totally breaks the norm.
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 film was a significant portion of my childhood.
No joke, Big Trouble in little China is actually the best movie of all time.
I worked on this movie way back in 1985. My first movie gig in Hollywood before moving on to animating Gumby.
Very cool thanks for your work I watched that TV show as a preteen.
I liked pokey
#SurfNinjas movie has confused Gumby with some asian drinking game . Do you know anything about that game ?
You’ve done great things. I’m honored to be on your comment thread
You are a legend and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
When you called Old Man Lopan Bill Burr, i literally spit out my coffee!😅😅😅
One of the finest movies made. Not a single moment is wasted. Exposition arrives with new characters, action moves along the story and everything fits together perfectly. Wonderful fun.
If there’s something that’ll make me hate today’s movies more, it’s a classic Carpenter and Russel combo
That and it’s so freaking original. There is nothing like this movie. It’s like you ask yourself…”where the F did this movie come from?”
You will rarely if ever see that again with todays diversity quotas and low quality of writers.
@@jjones9822 you make an excellent point
@@jjones9822 Yup. Today's version would have at least 2 black lesbians.
@@jjones9822 IDK if any of this is true, but I've read/heard a few different times that Carpenter wanted to do a sequel to The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension but couldn't get the rights or some shit, so the ideas he had for that sequel became Big Trouble in Little China.
Kurt Russel is the only actor to take up 3 slots in my top 10 Favorite Movies Ever Made. 'The Thing' is my #1, followed by Big Trouble in little China and Escape from New york. Love the 80's!
Definitely in my top 4. 1. The Warriors 2. The Thing 3. Escape From New York
Kurt Russell isn't in the warriors.
Captain Ron. Seen that like 50 times.
@@kurtiscleary9759 Wow, I thought Kurt killed Cyrus
@TheJman669 you sir are a true connoisseur of 80's cinematic excellence. Your three choices are truly indicative of the times and speak volumes on Kurt Russell's ability to bring it every eingle time.
Truly one of the great classics of our time
When I was young I yearned for a sequel to this movie. Now that I'm a cynical old lump of coal, I'm glad it's remained untarnished by a sequel.
Please please please, all the gods in the heavens do not allow Dwayne Johnson's production company to make the sequel they've announced.
Bill Burr getting absolutely Swanson’d in this one. 😂
I must say, Ronnie was a hero, and will be missed. RIP Ronnie!
Thanks but I'm still here
@@theonlyron 🤣🤣
Checking in!
Movie was so good it didn't even need a JCVD dance clip. 😤
Tellin a widow her husband is out cheating instead of got ate by a giant 80s spider is always the smart move
Very considerate. Recommend it next time your buddy's wife gets widowed via giant ghoul spider in a cave.
Bro still didn't forget to diss Steven Seagal
Every movie it should be mandatory to Diss Steven Seagal at least once in the flick !
This is legit my favorite movie of all time, and I am struggling to remember the last time I laughed this hard. Thank you so much.
I was sick as a dog most of today. When I felt better, my daughter came over and we watched tremors and she demanded that we watch Big trouble in Little China afterwards.
I parented good
Excellent parenting ! Props to you .
"Human trafficking victims have all the luck" I lost it 😂
He got me with "Yoshimity Sam"
Henry Swanson to to the red headed elderly woman: "Pshshhfft"
Kurt was so powerful in this movie that he shot his parts for the Hateful 8 whenever he wasn't in a scene.
tango and cash maybe
O.M.G I can't stop laughing & crying,😂😂😂🤣🤣 I needed this! I'm so Subscribing. I can't wait to see all the videos!!! I found gold!
When people ask me what the greatest movie of all time is, I always say Big Trouble. Hands down. There is so much packed into this movie it is a true cinematic masterpiece. And every time you watch it (in the 100s for me now) you get different layers from it. GOAT!! 🐐
When he said "Bill Burr" I almost died.
I know now she has a terrible reputation for being a diva, but Kim Cattrall did look good in this movie. That look she gives Henry Swanson at the end is pure, take me now, I am yours, territory.
Thank you Mr. Ice for reviewing my favorite movie
When I was a kid, every time me and my brothers wouldn't know what to watch, we would just get the VHS out of its box and watch this. "yes sir the check is is in the mail " fucking legendary
My absolute favourite Christmas movie. Been watching it every year since 1987.
Christmas?
@@mikehunt4986 Yes why not ?? for the Chinese it's Chinese New Year Festival 😂.
You read any of the sequel graphic novels? Picks up right after the movie ends. Really good.
No, no, Die Hard Is the movie you watch on Christmas. B.T.I.L.C is a Valentines day movie. At its heart its a love story about a man and his truck.
@@mikehunt4986 Christmas 87 was the year my family got a VCR & I recorded every film shown on tv, & this was one of them. Nothing is more Christmas to me than Big Trouble.
My favorite movie of all time. Jack is so likable, it’s funny but just a good time movie. It felt like the old Indiana Jones movies, just an adventure.
I wore the VHS copy of this out as a kid. Still my favorite movie of all time. It’s just fun. And Jack Burton being unaware he’s the sidekick the whole movie is genius.
"Yoshimite Sam"
Had me dying
Laughed my head off when I first saw it in a theater. Laughed my head off listening to the awesome narration!
This movie was and still is legend imo. I remember working at the AMC movie theater when it came out. I can still watch this anytime it comes on tv.
Well done to the producers in casting Al Leong to represent the Latino community
Knew a Vietnamese dude whose parents came to the States after the war ended. He was born and raised in a Latino section of town. He acted and dressed like a cholo. Spoke Spanish fluently. Had kids with a Mexican girl.

Damn, I love this movie - it showed the world, that Chinese Black magic in the 80's was cool.
"The Death of Superman" comics made a boatload of money in the early Nineties. I heard that one of the editors took his royalty check and paid $35,000 for the movie poster painting.
"It's all in the reflexes, baby"
Ill be honest, this film scared me as a 5 year old when my family got the VHS. Pretty sure it was the dude exploding scene..but i love the film as a 40 year old who misses “the good ole days”.
Oh to go back for a day or a thousand
As an 8 year old, the wild man monster hiding in Jack Burton's semi-truck at the end of the movie freaked me out. I was convinced that it had apocalyptic implications. Probably got that idea from some other horror movie, but can't remember which one.
Same here dude!
Lo Pan and the hairy monster freaked me out.
But i still watched the hell out of this movie.
Decades ago, my best pals asked me what was my fav movie of all-time was. Mind you we were all nerds, so Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones, Alien, Aliens, Terminator, T2, etc were all mentioned. I told them BTILC & they were floored. THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME! JACK BURTON ON THE PORK CHOP EXPRESS! YESSIR, THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL!
It's good to not be cliché. I think Dr. Strangelove is one of the best films ever but hey, I'm old.
You forgot Die Hard, Robocop, Bloodsport, and the list goes on ta-dump ta-dump da da (but yeah, you're right)
He didn't give her a kiss goodbye because he knows where that mouth has been!!!
Just one the most fun films ever made....I watch it when I feel down, and alone...cuz it just lifts you up with its good humour, and Jack's indomitable spirit.
It is hard to image a better movie review than the one I just watched.
I rarely LOL, this made me actually LOL a bunch of times.
"You've been Swanston'ed"
Big Trouble in Little China by Space Ice? I clicked the “thumbs up” before the video started.. 😂
This movie is an 80's classic. Growing up, watched it all the time when it came on my dad's HBO
This movie is a national treasure 🦅🇺🇲
One of the greatest movies ever made, and I will fight anyone over this.
That little smile and nod "Swanson" gives after his 2 punches to the face of magical warrior dude have 0 effect is priceless. . .
I’ve seen this movie so many times. Love it. “It’s all in the reflexes” is a line I’ve used many times since.
A perfect action comedy. I watched this at least a million times when I was a kid
"The check is in the mail" Kurt is just too friggin awesome.
Big Trouble in Little China is the movie I use to test people. If you hate that movie, we wont get along
I would never turn the channel when this came on back in the day.. I still love it at 36 years old
