Nothing or double I will see this movie again and again,
By "drunknerd" (Fort Worth, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Trouble in Little China (Widescreen) (DVD)
I cannot begin to describe how much I am a fan of this movie. I have the entire script memorized. I have muted the film and voiced out the entire film. My friends hate watching this with me; they think I am a freak. Big Trouble in little China is a whole lot of fun. China must be pretty bad these days if even Chinese wizards and Gods immigrated to the U.S. Which is good for us because it provides us with a lot of action packed hilarious entertainment. Kurt Russell acting like a klutzy John Wayne, every Asian that appeared on Bonanza, kung fu fights with six-shooters and Tommy Guns, Kim Cattrall before she banged everyone in New York. What else could you want? How about three storm Gods and big super charged fight on what looks like the stage of an Ozzy Osborne concert? I highly recommend this movie. If you don't like it then you are probably dead inside. Two things I wish were different about the film. 1. That they had advertised more so I would have seen it on the big screen. I never heard of this film until I saw it on video at a kids house I did not even like. 2. They had made a sequel. More Trouble in Little China, um Little Trouble in Big China, who knows all I want is a part two.Drunknerd@hotmail.com

Take a ride on the Porkchop Express,
By Yossarian (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Trouble in Little China (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I've always been a John Carpenter fan.. sure, his films aren't always the biggest hits, but they're inevitably well-crafted and entertaining. Moreover, they're always better than you'd think possible, given the subject matter. Big Trouble in Little China is a classic example. I'd only seen it a few times before, piecemeal and probably on USA at 2 o'clock in the morning. What a tragedy. This film is a national treasure.Why? Everything about it is absurd..and purposefully so. Try to read the plot aloud without laughing: A mullet-wearing truck driver teams up with his Chinese-American buddy to battle ancient Chinatown demons commanded by the ethereal 2000 year old Lo Pan and rescue their respective green-eyed (would-be) girlfriends, all with the aid of local magician/tour bus driver Egg Sheng and his lazy-eyed sorcery. Yet, somehow, it all works perfectly. Kurt Russell is a riot as Jack Burton, a bumbling and inept, yet surprisingly hardy, truck driver with a lot of buddies in Chinatown who has to take on a world of Chinese legends. His loud-mouthed bravado at all times (presumably he's intended to be a classic jerk American foreign devil) forms the basis for his irrepressible camaraderie with the other heroes in the movie. He may have no idea what he's doing, but darn it he's gonna do it anyway. Some folks may be misled (as I was by the USA Up All Night tidbits) into thinking this was some sort of cheesy martial arts film. It isn't. This is a flat-out comedy that just happens to involve a lot of swordfights, demons, and electrical discharges. Some classic examples of the typical humor drenching the film include 1) several Chinese elders and mystics sitting around a table discussing ancient curses while Jack Burton shouts at his insurance carrier about the loss of his big rig truck in the background, 2) At the start of the climactic pitched battle, Jack Burton, in a fit of adrenaline-stoked fury, fires wildly into the air with his gun and dislodges a rock from the ceiling that knocks him unconscious, 3) Jack Burton facing off against evil demonlord Lo Pan while wearing lipstick from his smooching of one of the female love interests. And I haven't seen a film this packed with quotable comments since Predator: "Great, a six-demon bag! What's it do, Egg?" "Are you crazy? Is that what your problem is?" "... and let me drive right over him? With light coming out of his mouth?!" "Whaddya mean there's no listing? There better be, honey, 'cause I pay 'em 6 grand a year in premiums." In short, Big Trouble in Little China is a great Saturday afternoon sort of film.. a refreshing treat that proves surprisingly satisfying by the end.

Oui il y a une version française!,
By Charles Gagnon "Charles" (Montréal, Québec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Trouble in Little China [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Comme pour d'autres films vendus par Amazon.ca, il n'y a aucune indication dans la description du produit sur le site d'Amazon.ca(nada) qui laisse croire qu'il existe une version française (pourtant une des deux langues officielles du Canada) du film sur ce BluRay. Pour votre information, cette version existe bien.
