Movie Reviews of Big Trouble in Little China (Single Disc Edition)
Movie Review: And a whole lot more!
Summary: 5 Stars
A faint, pleasant echo from an era when we had less to worry about. Yes, it's a silly movie with a fluffy, 'bouncy' little plot (and sub-plot), but it's fun to watch Kim Cattrall and Kurt Russell perform when they were both *so* much younger... James Hong is excellent... His villain provides "a whole lot more" than just 'timelessness' and 'inscrutability' on tap. Nice relaxing fun.
Summary of Big Trouble in Little China (Single Disc Edition)
Once you settle into the realization that this 1986 John Carpenter (Halloween) film is not going to be one of the director's more masterful works, Big Trouble in Little China just becomes a full-tilt comic blast. Kurt Russell is hilarious as a drawling, would-be John Wayne hero who steps into the middle of a supernatural war in the heart of Chinatown. While kung fu warriors and otherworldly spirits battle over the fate of two women (Kim Cattrall and Suzee Pai), Russell's swaggering idiot manages to knock himself out or underestimate the forces he's dealing with. The whole thing is dopey, but it's supposed to be dopey and Russell's game performance brings an ironic edge. Carpenter directs some nifty spook effects (the sudden arrival of three martial arts demigods from out of nowhere is worth applause), and he also wrote the music. --Tom KeoghDirected by thrill master John Carpenter this edge of your seat adventure stars Kurt Russell as Jack Burton a tough talking wisecracking truck driver whose hum drum life on the road takes a sudden supernatural tailspin when his best friend's fianc e is kidnapped. Speeding to the rescue Jack finds himself deep beneath San Francisco's Chinatown in a murky creature filled world ruled by Lo Pan a 2000 year old magician who mercilessly presides over an empire of spirits. Dodging demons and facing baffling terrors Jack battles his way through Lo Pan's dark domain in a full throttle action riddled ride to rescue the girl. Co-starring Kim Cattrall this effects filled sci fi spectacle speeds to an incredible twist taking finish.System Requirements: Running Time 99 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543044758 Manufacturer No: 2004475
