Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
So much average
A Masterpiece!
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Absolutely horrible. Every funny moment is in the trailer. Plot is bunch of mystical nonsense ala 'Charmed', but without the (previously) good looking women. Did not find any of the attempts at satire/humor even mildly amusing. Went with a group ranging from 13 to 93 yrs old, and no one was enjoying it so we walked out (which left only the projectionist).
Big trouble in little China remains a classic. Original, so original, 20th Century Fox didn't know how to promote. The film bombed but has grown it's worthy cult following. The team of John carpenter and Kurt Russell works well, for the film. It's, everything, horror, action, fantasy and, comedy. Good action, a little Die hard channelling and, the pre-curser to Mortal Kombat. It has gore for slasher fans, mystery, psychological thrills, comedy, done good by Russell, and, is just an interesting concept. may the useless Rock NOT touch this, otherwise he'd be in BIGGER trouble. may his little candy ass fingers stay away, he RUINED DIE HARD with Sky crap, ah. Yea Big trouble in little China, from the creative and visionary John Carpenter, who KNOWS how to make great films, just, at times some fall flat, can have 1 or a couple duds. This is a GEM, a rare diamond, that had it rough, and over time, got the love it deserved then and has earnt to this day. Get the beer flowing, the pizza stuffin and, get ready to rumble in a showdown, not in little Tokyo but, a standoff and more in Big trouble in little China, it's all in the re-watches.
'Big Trouble In Little China (1986)', a charmingly bizarre little gem of a film, pits an all-American 'everyman' truck-driver against an ancient mystical warlord and is wickedly entertaining throughout, a wonderfully weird walk on the right side of silly that manages to balance its action and comedy impeccably to the point where its few flaws are almost too easy to overlook. Tying it all together is Kurt Russell, who's wide-eyed wonder and honest reactions not only highlight the absurdity but also sell the believability of the flick's fantastically imaginative fantasy elements, and it's the down-to-earth attitude that the whole out-of-this-world piece adopts that allows it to sort of transcend its B-movie status and become an extremely entertaining picture that never takes itself seriously and doesn't ask its audience to either. It's just incredibly fun. 7/10
I watched BTILC when it first came out at the cinema. I can't remember if it was one of those movies that was a flop when it first came out and then gradually grew a following over time but I loved it the first time I saw it. Just recently I watched it again with my two 20+ year old sons and they're now hooked as well.If you try to analyse BTILC it really shouldn't work and if it was made today it would probably bomb at the box office. The action, story, characters and special effects are so far out there that ordinarily you'd expect viewers to be more like 'what the **** is going on?'.Yet, BTILC sucks you into the fantasy, the humour, the dialogue and the WFT story line and keeps you fully entertained throughout.Anyone who's thinking of remaking BTILC should have the 'curse of no flesh' placed upon him.
