GREAT movie ! I want a review. Please?
One of my top 5 favorites.
However; I would say that is doesn't belonged reviewed on this site.
It is a classic and it has B-movie elements. However;
It isn't a bad movie and it isn't a low budget B-movie. It is a well craft movie made to look like a B-movie. It's more like muesem quality art dipicting what B-movies are.
The last thing this site needs is art. No offense.
What this sight needs is a review of "Terminal Virus" or "Electra"
If you want a Carpenter film reviewed, go for "Vampires" or "Ghost of Mars"
Andrew doesn't have the time to watch a good movie
I had trouble sitting through it...
I liked Kurt better in Tango & Cash.
I liked BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, but I rate it as something close to THEY LIVE type of movie. Both are good movies.
Sorry, I don't like it. It has some funny stuff and good fantasy moments, but I hate Kurt Russell on this one and I also found most of the humour excruciating. That's it. I finally said it. I AM A CARPENTER FAN AND I DON'T LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!!
Oh, kay....Uh, Neville...please step away from the fire ax. We're all friend here.....
I absolutely love this movie. It's really one of Carpenter's best, up there with Prince of Darkness and The Thing. It's got sometruely classic lines in it, great action, an interesting plot, and a seriously hammy and fun performance from Kurt.
This movie is more fun than...than...a really fun thing!
I could probably trace my obsession with Raiden from Mortal Kombat back to this movie. I loved the character with the HUGE asian hat that shot lightning out of his fingers.
Interesting tidbit I picked up somewhere, when the guy makes the symbol between his hands in the beginning of the movie; the symbol is the Kanji character for "Carpenter" - a nod to the director, no doubt...
no.....you reckon?
Weird movie, that's all i can say.
I liked it okay. My favorite part is when they're in the elevator getting ready for the big battle at the end there's this one extra who is really hamming it up and trying to get the audience's attention. It's pretty humorous.
The only time I can really accept fantasy martial arts is when it's a comedy. Anywhere else I think it takes away from my suspension of disbelief too much.
I have fond memories of that film. I still believe that it was one of Kurt Russels's finer performances. Man, I sure would dig an action figure of "Jack Burton." Better yet, an action figure of the notorious demon beast from that film.

Definitely one of my favourites. And it's got Kim Catrall in it!
Sweet! That is a must have.
How about the Pork Chop Express?
I like this goofy thing. Perfect for forgetting the real world for a while.
"And if we're not back in an hour...call the president."
Wow! That's pretty cool... Unfortunately, the figures don't look exactly like the characters... again. : ( I might pick up the Jack Burton though. Thank you for sharing...

They look kind of goofy, they should have gotten McFarlane to do them.
