Nonstop insanity. I felt high watching this. I love that Kurt Russell sucks at pretty much everything.
What’s not to love about this film, it’s brilliant
An insane film that leans into itself perfectly. I've never watched anything that is closer to what my dreams are like.
Ridiculously fun film that doesn’t take itself seriously and has one of the most over the top death scenes ever.
A classic action film and a great time for sure 8/10
A perfect 80s film and one of Carpenter’s absolute best with a career defining performance from Russel and an incredible cast of villains
A satisfying action packed expedition into John Carpenter strange
John Carpenter’s greatest work, Big Trouble in Little China is a crazy 1980s martial arts action film pumped with 20 jolts of LSD.
The film equivalent of a kung-fu beat-em-up. Great fun with a crowd, carried by Russell’s charisma and equal parts machismo/stupidity.
We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't we Wang?
