Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The Movie Diorama Given the title, and having already witness a scene with an asian man exploding, I knew I was expecting 80s absurdity. It's all well and good, but it does come at a price amounting to more than the cost of a number 67 from my local Chinese takeaway (egg fried rice between you and me). Truck driver Jack gets caught in an ancient battle where two girls are captured because they have green eyes. Yes, that's the best I can do. There's sorcery, cheesy one liners and Raiden from 'Mortal Kombat'. A "Chinese Showdown" consisting on atleast fifty extras flipping on wires in every direction, as director Carpenter bathes in the mayhem for a decent five minutes. Considering he is best known for crafting some of the best horror films ever, his authentic prosthetic trademark is put to good use here. A floating flesh ball comprising of eyeballs, a hairy yeti resembling a drugged up Chewbacca and, as mentioned before, a man enlarging himself to the point of explosion. It's madness, sheer lunacy. Yet, it knows what it is. You can't class it as "so bad it's good" because it isn't serious, and that only adds to the charm. Acting was serviceable, Russell revelling in his action glory days whilst Cattrall adds some sass with her character. The screenplay, unfortunately, is lacklustre. Having slept on this film (not literally...or maybe), I can't remember any of the one liners except Jack frequently shouting "Wang!" "Wang!?" "Waaaaaaang!!!!" whilst the script negates all racial context. The story seems like it has plenty of lore, yet hardly any of the fantasy elements are explored. Simply just used for environmental set pieces. It substituted an engaging story for B-movie action. Also, some of those effects have not aged well at all...but that's a given, I don't think you need me to reiterate that for you. Did I enjoy this? Yes, unquestionably. Do I think it's good? Now that's where I question myself. Perhaps it's just not to my taste, B-Movies have never enticed me.

chlump Big Trouble in Little China is a great achievement. I've always loved this movie and shared it with those that haven't seen it. It is the perfect blend of action and humor. The movie seems to know itself so well that it walks a difficult line between parody and true action-adventure very skillfully. Kudos to John Carpenter, the tone of this movie shows an incredibly well honed sense of humor and timing.I laugh every time I see the show, I haven't found a friend yet who doesn't add it to their list of favorites after seeing it.I think those that don't like it shouldn't leave reviews, unless they like putting in writing that they don't have a sense of humor. I swear it is like the Meyers-Briggs type indicator test, just instead it tests for the sense of humor required to understand and love this movie. If you don't love it, you don't have that type of a sense of humor.

andrew_flay I will try to keep this review short, if you want a film with lots of laughs, magic and far fetched action look no further, This is the film for you. It's Kurt Russell at his best and his character Jack Burton is a legend, his lines are pure comedy gold. Some of my favorite lines From good old jack, speaking to Lo Pan Are you crazy... Is that your problem? And This is gonna take crackerjack timing, Wang. Short Summary: Get on this film.

RoboGarrett I wish that fun-tastic was actually a word because if it was it would have been the perfect word I could use to describe what I think about this movie. Big Trouble in Little China is a very fun movie and far from what you would usually expect from John Carpenter, it's a fun and funny adventure that is one of his best movies and one of Kurt Russell's best performances.Big Trouble in Little China is incredibly strange and bizarre but everything works together to create a very fun movie experience. It might be a little bit "adult" themed or a tad scary for younger children but for the most part parents and kids would all enjoy this movie experience.Lots of great action and good (for its time) effects combined with really funny moments.
