Review of Big Trouble in Little China (1986) by Russel J — 19 Nov 2018
I have preferred The Thing or the Escape movies personally but there is no denying that among the many John Carpenter- Kurt Russell collaborations perhaps the most popular and adored is Big Trouble in Little China.
I do not scribe to this as I have always found this film to be a tad overrated but the appeal is unmissable. Kurt Russell is smooth as Jack Burton and a pre Sex in the city Kim Cattrall is sweet. The story takes place in China and our titular characters run amok trying to battle magicians and martial artists.
As I stated earlier I do not have a high opinion of the film(Both the Escape movies and The Thing are much better Russell-Carpenter collaborations) but you can see for yourself. (Films like this are the reason 80s nostalgia is so understandable).
