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.
A classic action film and a great time for sure 8/10
Ridiculously fun film that doesn’t take itself seriously and has one of the most over the top death scenes ever.
A satisfying action packed expedition into John Carpenter strange
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.
John Carpenter’s greatest work, Big Trouble in Little China is a crazy 1980s martial arts action film pumped with 20 jolts of LSD.
Classic a grand story wish we all had a jack in our lives. So bad it’s gone bad to good again. Fun ride Sifi, Kung fu ,action,love story
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 bizarrely wild ride. Just a really fun classic action comedy adventure. Surprisingly impressive visual effects for its time
