Big Trouble In Little China

Mmh. Some of the human exchanges were funny. This guy above had funny facials and body movement.

I liked the very special effects, the gay music and the electricity going every where. The fights were a bit long

Rating: 3

Bye! Bye!

Big Trouble in Little China [1986]

It’s been awhile I know, but worth the wait I’m sure. Today’s movie, Big Trouble in Little China, directed by John Carpenter, was yes another 80’s movie, but I don’t care what anyone says I love it. It contains every stereotype in it from the Chinese, ancient magic man [Victor Wong], with the special potion that makes you strong, the evil Asian warlord [James Hong] and his lackeys [Carter Wong, Peter Kwong, James Pax] , the all American, kick ass, clueless, but with a heart the size of Texas white guy [Kurt Russell], the perky, full of spunk white girl [Kim Cattrall] and the Chinese childhood sweetheart [Suzee Pai] with green eyes who gets kidnapped by an evil Chinese gang.

The only thing that I didn’t really like was the end when he doesn’t kiss Kim Cattrall and just hits the road, it took away from the cheekiness of the whole film, it like so many other scenes was expected, but not received. I mean don’t get me wrong, I get the whole Humphrey Bogartness of it….I just don’t like it. Other than that I say go rent it, Netflix it, find it and watch it. I give it a four out of six super stars, my highest rating yet!

I leave you with these wise words from the film,

Wang Chi: Here’s to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here’s to America’s colors, the colors that never run.

Jack Burton: May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

God bless America and Big Trouble in Little China!
