I saw this movie when it came out, and to this day, as a way to state to people, " oh boy, looks like we are about to have a situation", you will here me simply exclaim, oh no, looks like we got Big Trouble in Little China!"

A complete 180 from Snake Plissken.<br /><br />One of the many reasons I love the film is Carpenter's catchy song that he produced with his band The Coupe De Villes. Can you imagine any director in this day and age recording a theme song for their own movie!

I've always had a crush no her since Mannequin! <br /><br />@Jay: Yeah, another BTLC fan! <br /><br />Many people agree, this is John Carpenter at his best. For me I think it goes like this: The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York, Halloween and Starman. Those are my top five Carpenter films.

I wonder how that would turn out, but so much of this movie worked because of Carpenter, Russell and W.D. Richter that I doubt it would have the same flavor.<br /><br />Agree about Wang being the hero of the film, Jack is always making mistakes, like that scene where he shoots the gun at the ceiling, or when the guard falls on him. It would have been a cool idea if Jack Burton would have become a Kung Fu master by drinking from that magic potion, but nope. He still manages to save the day though. By using his reflexes! <br /><br />Yeah, its a high point in his career I agree. For a moment there, mostly during the 80's, Carpenter made a solid string of films, I mean really solid. Escape from New York, Starman, Christine, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China. It was during the 90's that quality began to slow down with films like Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Ghost of Mars...and a couple of others that while watchable never reached the level of coolness that his films from the 80's reached. <br /><br />Agree on The Thing, I saw that movie when I was about ten years old...and it scared the shit out of me! I mean it was one of the few films that really scared the living daylights out of me! Along with The Amytiville Horror, the original one.

For as much as we see Jack as the lead, he is essentially the bumbling sidekick to Wang Chi's hero, especially highlighted by the fact that he knocks himself out during the big showdown.<br /><br />There are just so many moments that I love in this movie and one that I frequently refer to when justifying the genius of Carpenter, along with The Thing which for my money is along with "Psycho" and "Halloween" one of the scariest movies ever made.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.com
