      The elements taken from a lot of old school Hong Kong magical phantasy kung-fu movies are great. You can tell the creators are fans of the genre, both celebrating it and making fun of it at the same time. But they manage to make a movie that is highly entertaining even if you've never seen any.
      Kurt Russell and John Carpenter are magical together. They are very good friends privately and some of their DVD commentary tracks are the funniest I've heard. They may start talking about the movie, but it just turns into them catching up, telling old stories and gossiping. You feel like you're listening in on a private conversation.
      Another great movie with Russell directed by Carpenter is Escape from New York (1981). Here Russell is more of a real action hero than a comedic sidekick like in this one. Still over the top though with his confidence and cockiness. :D

      The problem with movies these days is they are only interested in money. When they find something that works and makes money, they keep doing the same thing over and over. As long as people keep paying to see the same movie over and over, they will not change and we will not see anything new. Back in the 80s they were all new and unique movies every year.

      @@kevinerose For a while I've said that the movie industry (and TV) seems to want to create what the music industry has created. A formula to roll out a constant money making machine. In music they started this years ago and have a few song writers and producers that create the majority of bland garbage music over and over and over and they make money from it.
      Hollywood seems to want to do the same thing but people aren't putting up with it and they are rejecting so much of the new crap that comes out. We have heard of many directors saying that they are offered movies but told the action scenes are already worked out in advance so they don't get to work on those. We see a lot of new movies and shows being given to first time directors with almost zero experience. Even the laughable Rings Of Power, the most expensive TV show ever made, was given to two guys with almost zero experience.
      None of that makes any sense until you factor in that they do not want the producers and directors to create their vision for the movie. The companies just want someone to manage the project and push out the vision the studio wants. In other words they removed the talented people from the movie making process. Every now and then you get something good that slips through the cracks but so much ends up just being garbage.

      Honestly, I feel like audience's say they want "fun" movies, but then complain about it because I feel people these days would rather come across as some wannabe film critic intellect, than actually enjoy entertainment. You have some movies where you'll get this sleeper hit, fun movie that audiences enjoyed, but it's almost like if unless the fun movie is like some outrageous comedy, like The Hangover or something, it's looked down upon...

      ​@@kevinerose you have to remember there were remakes in the 80s the Blob and The Thing. At least those examples went far beyond to make a creative yet fresh takes. Today's remakes and reboots are soulless cashgrabs with no sense of originality and respect for the source materials. Lately they're USING nostalgia to hook and unapologetically saturate the audiences for views and their cash.

    "And go off to rule the universe from beyond the grave."

    "Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?!"
    So many memorable quotes. I had a hard time choosing one. Because if the breakneck speed of this movie, I do recommend anyone watch this movie 2 or 3 times.
    Fun Fact: The Three Storms were partly the inspiration for the popular character of thunder god Raiden from Mortal Kombat fighting video game series, while David Lo Pan was the inspiration for the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung.
    Blade Enthusiast Fact: The short knives wielded by the "Three Storms" warriors, that Thunder calls "Hui Huan Dou" (Soul-Returning Blades) are in fact Nepalese Kukri. These knives are used by all Gurkha military regiments in the British Indian Army.
    Studio Hacks Fact: Kurt Russell confessed on the DVD commentary that he was afraid of starring in the movie because he had made a string of movies that flopped at the box office. When he asked John Carpenter about it, he told Kurt that it didn't matter to him - he just wanted to make the movie with him. John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn't know how to promote it.

    I don’t know if it’s been said or not but one thing a lot of people overlook about this movie is that the character of Jack Burton is the side kick almost comic relief of the movie. This is important because it makes Wang the hero which was unusual for Hollywood. They were just starting to look at a hero being a none white person in a movie. A little side note, according to interviews the fight scene at the end used about 2/3s of the films budget to create.

    One of the funniest Action Comedy Martial Arts Fantasy movies ever made!
    Originally Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood were considered for the role of Jack Burton and that the film was going to be a western taking place in 1900 San Francisco.
    Burton was going to be a gunslinger meeting up with an old friend Wang Chi, an expert in Martial Arts and ancient Chinese mysticism where he tries to help him fight off Lo Pan, an evil centuries old sorcerer who plans to destroy San Francisco with an earthquake.
    There were going to be a sequel and reboot to the movie with Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Kurt Russell playing Burton and a skeptical trucker where they must fight off Lo Pan once more
    Both of these films would be cancelled due to Fox Disney merger.

    "Feels like Star Wars..."
    John Carpenter was inspired by a Hong Kong movie called "Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain" which is, without hyperbole, one of the most bonkers crazypants movies ever. Often called the Steven Spielberg of Hong Kong for his string of popular, visually striking hits, film-maker Tsui Hark made Zu after seeing Star Wars, inspiring him to make a classic Chinese fantasy with Hollywood visual effects, hiring some of the Star Wars FX crew to work on it. The end result is... dizzying to say the least...
    The script for "Big Trouble" was originally a Western. Jack was a cowboy trying to get back his horse, not his truck. It was inspired by the Tong Wars, real-life gang violence between Chinese criminal factions in San Francisco in the 1860's. Carpenter and the studio decided it would work better if they started in the more familiar present day to represent "reality" before they descended into the bizarre subterranean madness.

    I remember back then in 1987, had been seeing Christine, Escape from NY and Starman before that one, I wasn't even sure what I was really watching - it was so different that those three and everything else Carpenter directed up until that point.
    I had great fun nevertheless in the cinema, and went to see it again immediately a few days later. My admiration for that movie only rose since.

    A good double feature with this one would be THE GOLDEN CHILD starring Eddie Murphy.

    Ladies, glad you enjoyed Big Trouble in Little China.
    It's a great flick. I saw it when it came out and watched it so many times since. So many 80's movies were fun and creative without all the CGI overdone. Practical effects may date the movie a bit, but really does goes give it a grounding that just can't be overlooked.
    If you want to check out another fun 80's movie, may I recommend :
    The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eight Dimension
    Staring the likes of Peter Weller, John Lithgow , Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin and so many more. You may want to read the synopsis on it first - it moves pretty quick, so it could help.
    Love your review.
    Cheers
    Darren

      They were not using CGI in the 1980s. Computers did not have that capability.

      @@davestang5454 - well not like they do today - but yeah they existed. They were in their infancy. I take it you have a different opinion. Technically 1973 Westworld is credited with the use of CGI. ( it got better ) . I take it you were born after that point - right? Oh - and replying to such a old comment - bit of a surprise. Best wishes.

    Lopan is one of the greatest film villains of all time. James Hong is amazing in this role. Glad you liked him & this fantastic film as well.

    actually there is a long running theory that this movie would've never happened with out Kurt attached to the film. Its written as a Chinese action film. his character is a side kick. Wang is the main hero. Without Kurt, he was the money maker to get people to go see it.

    Edit: Just Googled them there were three movies in the "Dexter Riley" movies, a trilogy of three high-concept Disney fantasy-comedies starring Kurt Russell as Dexter, with Joe Flynn and Cesar Romero. Kurt Russell begin the trilogy when he was 18.

    That is correct, Kurt Russell did audition for the role of Han Solo in Star Wars back in 1975, along with John Travolta and Sylvester Stallone. I believe George Lucas finally decided that Kurt was a bit too young to play Han Solo at the time, as he was the same age as Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker.

    • @davestang5454
      @davestang5454 5 месяцев назад

      John Travolta was still a teenager in 1975. Stallone was not yet the "ripped" version of Rocky in 1975.

    Such a great movie. John Carpenter in his golden era. Kurt Russell is a hoot in this. I worked with James Hong, the actor playing Lo Pan, on a short-lived sit com in L.A.. He thought he knew me from somewhere, but I assured him he had not, because I would have remembered that.

    And there was this thing John Carpenter and Kurt Russell were doing in each of the films they did together where Kurt would be aping a different actor of westerns. Escape from New York Snake was Clint Eastwood. Big Trouble in Little China Jack Burton was John Wayne. Not sure who McCreary was in The Thing though.

He talks a big game but is more of a buffoon. But you can’t help but like him. In the end he says they day with great reflexes. What a guy.
