Big Trouble In Little China

Big Trouble In Little China

They do not make films like this anymore.

Plot:

A good versus evil fable from the 80's.

Review:

Granted it was a while since I saw this film, could actually be as far back as the VHS days, I have to say its a big favourite of mine. It's quite a unique piece and I'm not interested in spoiling anything. It spans over multiple genres which include comedy, action and fantasy. Tries to incorporate alot into it which is somewhat signifcant for the 80's in my experience. I've read rumours about a remake and I cannot possibly understand how they could ever make it better.

All american truck driver Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) is in San Francisco's Chinatown for buisness and meets up his old friend Wang. They play some cards and Jack wins, making Wang (Denis Dun) run out of change for a taxi. Jack agrees to drive him to the airport to pick up Wangs fiance which he hasn't seen since they were kids. The fiance with her green eyes is believed to have magical qualities by an evil sorcerer and is kidnapped by his dangerous street gang and Jack and Wang finds themselves in an adventure trying to get her back.

That is all I want to reveal about this film.
