Guest JustAFan Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 As a child I lov'd this movie, and as an adult I love this movie. Great movie, I wonder how many people feal this way about this movie. And, when is this movie gonna get a proper DVD release. Also, a Tsui Hark remake would be great. That leads me to ask who would you all like to see in said remake? I say get Kurt Russell to do his role again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chinatown Kid Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Even though it's incredibly cheesy I like it, it's meant to be a comedy more than anything. I like when Carter Wong blows himself up just like a blimp. :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moviegyrl Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I was just talking with someone about this film a few days ago. It is one of my favorites from childhood! But, the Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall characters were truly annoying. 'Loved the three sorcerer-henchmen in hats (proper term?)! 'Loved that the director saw fit to cast a kungfu icon like Carter Wong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Fun film, made back before Carpenter became Crapenter. Kurt Russell rules, his performance is hilarious. I'd hate to see a remake; it's unecessary and Tsui Hark is well past his sell-by-date. And, when is this movie gonna get a proper DVD release. Um, it's been out for a few years in a 2-disc set. Where were you??? :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rindge Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've always been a fan of this film. Cheesy - but aren't most kung fu movies. It was agood time and I was biased ebcause Jim lau (Wing chun guy) handled the fights. Rindge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shaolin drunkard Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 "are you kidding?I just wanna get my truck back".Dialogue of Russell is at times like for mentally retardedXD.Worth seeing once,at least for me there is nothing to give it 2nd go.

Member shaolin drunkard Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think that hat issue was copied from shogun assassin where was 3 killers with similar hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 I always waited for that sequel but it never came, cool movie. I heard that the original concept for BTILC was a sequel to Buckaroo Banzai. as far as the remake:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member HAZ Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 Saw this again over the holidays. I like this film. Has anyone ever listened to the commentary track on the dvd? Is it worth checking out? The 2 disc set, was that UK only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gaijin84 Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 The 2 disc set, was that UK only? No - Region 1 release - image below.

Member niro Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yea wenever this film is on TV i watch it...its just a cult classic much like the goonies film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted January 5, 2009 Member Share Posted January 5, 2009 I need to pick this up again, I lent my old copy out. This is one of those movies that never gets old, one of the greatest quotable movies out there. I was interested in the other 2 element fighters Rain and Lightning (Carter Wong is Thunder), for some reason I was thinking these two where in some older KF flicks, but with a imdb search it looks as they both did more tv, Peter Kwong(Rain) has been acting since the 70's and his credits go back to Miami Vice, Manimal, and the A-Team, he was even in a Wonder Woman episode, he was also in the skater movie Gleaming the Cube.

Member AlbertV Posted January 6, 2009 Member Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yep, James Pax as "Lightning" was awesome. Last movies I saw him in were Shootfighter with Bolo Yeung and The Heroic Trio (as Michelle Yeoh's boyfriend). My wife actually loves the movie too!!! I love the "battle of the minds" between Egg Shen and Lo Pan, the way Lo Pan uses his pinkies and thumbs as if he's playing a video game LOL A definite classic!!!

Member weylander Posted January 9, 2009 Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 Saw this again over the holidays. I like this film. Has anyone ever listened to the commentary track on the dvd? Is it worth checking out? The 2 disc set, was that UK only? This was a great 2 disc set and the commentary is a very good listen. Big Trouble In Little China is a fun comedy, that did a nice job parodying both HK films and the 80's Hollywood style action hero. Rewatched several times already. Carpenter and Russell were terrific partners in their earlier films and that shows in the commentary. It's not a very technical discussion, but a fun breezy track with funny stories interspersed; like watching the movie with a couple of buds that really get it. I also highly recommend the THING and Escape from New York DVDs as well and give them a listen if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member littlefuzzy Posted March 16, 2009 Member Share Posted March 16, 2009 I always enjoy this film (I've had the 2-disc set for years). In fact, this thread makes me want to throw it in again soon. I always like seeing James Hong (David Lo Pan) and Victor Wong (Egg Shen) in movies. James Hong was at an Anime convention I went to a few years ago, and that was pretty neat.

Member Raoul Duke Posted March 16, 2009 Member Share Posted March 16, 2009 When i was a kid i loved this movie and i still so love this movie. One scene that stands out for me is the part when Jack (kurt russell) shoots at the concrete ceiling above him and a chunk falls and knocks him out funniest part IMO.

Member SlothStyleKungFu Posted March 17, 2009 Member Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ironic as Hell that Tsui Hark would be thinking of remaking Big trouble because watching Zu Warriors is what led to Carpenter making Big Trouble. I like Big Trouble just fine. The Thing and Escape from NY will always be my fave Carpenter films, but Big Trouble is fun. A lot of people who (re)discovered it later dont remember what a huge box office bomb the film was. It was supposed to be a big summer movie and it just tanked.
