Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you have come across this entry. Today I am checking out the flick Big Trouble in Little China. It stars Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall and Dennis Dun. "An All-American trucker gets dragged into a centuries-old mystical battle in Chinatown." This is one of those flicks I have wanted to see for a while. As for 6/19/17 it has a 7.3 on IMDB. Lets go get in some "big trouble" (See what I did there?)
- Jack Burton has a lot to say...or he likes the sound of his voice...like me
- I didn't realize this was a John Carpenter flick, nice!
- That is a lot of money Jack! You are getting scammed brother
- For not wanting to talk about it he sure is talking about it
- Ah the 80's when anything and everything could happen at the airport. Made action flicks much more fun
- SWEEP THE LEG!
- Huh, the kidnapped girl sure is calm
- I have to say this sure did escalate quickly
- These guys really like their hats and funny looks
- Oh and grunting...always lots of grunting in martial arts flicks
- Did that guy have back scratchers of death?
- Awesome James Hong is in this flick! He is awesome
- Gracie Law? Really?
- Russell was pretty funny back in the day, him as the nerdy salesmen was great
- Those hats seem really impractical, you can't really see around them
- Phone guys sure were different back in the 80's
- Good thing they didn't search him for weapons
- I think that guy was actually hulking up....brother
- That would take amazing strength to do the wheelchair thing
- They left her with paper and pen yet they tied the other one up?
- No one else hears those shots or the girls screaming?
- Why the cartwheel? Kung fu fights never make sense to me!
- Was that a dive by Cattrall?
- Wouldn't that grate weight a shit ton?
- This flick sure seems long and it is only half through
- Of course, why wouldn't there be a fire pole into the sewer
- It is like a fat beholder! AWESOME!
- Oh shit, I just looked up Egg and he is grandpa from 3 ninja's, the ultimate ninja movie!
- How did the lightning guy miss? How is he that bad?
- That is an awesome crossbow
- Of course, just hit the guy with a big rock! Killer Croc was right all along!
- They are stopping at a red light?
Well that was interesting for sure. I'm not sure what to say about it. It wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination but was it good? I think I give it a 6/10 so slightly lower then the others on IMDB.
Almost everything was good or better but on a whole something was missing. What I can't say for sure. I am not a huge fan of the wire acts like this or Crotching Tiger. It becomes old hat very quickly.
I didn't like the ending either because it is just left there. I wonder if there was going to be a follow up and the box office failure stopped that from happening.
The acting was okay to good and the effects were well done.
Just felt something was missing and I wish I could say what. I'm glad that I watched it and ticked another flick off my list but I didn't love it like I wanted to.
Until next time...here is hoping that you don't find yourself in big trouble...but if you don't listen to what old Jack Burton says and you'll be just fine!
