Big Trouble In Little China

What do you get when you mix-in Magic, Mayhem and a Menagerie of characters brought to life by the legendary Director John Carpenter? Well, throw-in an insane amount of humor and one fast-talking hero in the person of Jack Burton and you've got yourself a recipe for a cult classic...... John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China.

"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, 'Give me your best shot. I can take it' "


A fun filled roller coaster ride loaded with 80's camp makes Big Trouble In Little China a must-see for Kurt Russell fans. Russell plays Jack Burton, a wise-cracking Trucker who, while trying to collect on a debt, accidentally gets involved in a supernatural battle between good and evil. This flick has it all, great action sequences, hotties galore (Kim Cattrall in her prime... rowrrrrr!), great special effects.... hey! it's the 80's! shooting lightning bolts from the fingertips was way cool back then!...


"you know what?.... this kinda tickles...."

"tickles?... I have yer 'tickles' right here old man!!!"

Filled with an array of fantastic villains, this movie will surely tickle the imagination. We've got an evil sorcerer in the person of Lo-Pan (as played beautifully by Hong Kong superstar James Hong); his minions, the Three Storms (brought to life by erstwhile kung-fu professionals Carter Wong, Peter Kwong and James Pax) and a whole slew of monsters and supernatural creatures that will keep Jack Burton and the gang on their toes in this thrill-a-minute action-adventure classic!

"I AM LO-PAN!!!!... and I need.... breath mints"

"heads up boss!!!...breath mints comin' up!!!"

So, do yourself a favor... get the popcorn ready, put the beers on ice, fluff up that favorite couch of yours and get ready for some whiz-bang entertainment.... Jack Burton style!
