Once you settle into the realization that this 1986 John Carpenter (Halloween) film is not going to be one of the director's more masterful works, Big Trouble in Little China just becomes a full-tilt comic blast. Kurt Russell is hilarious as a drawling, would-be John Wayne hero who steps into the middle of a supernatural war in the heart of Chinatown. While kung fu warriors and otherworldly spirits battle over the fate of two women (Kim Cattrall and Suzee Pai), Russell's swaggering idiot manages to knock himself out or underestimate the forces he's dealing with. The whole thing is dopey, but it's supposed to be dopey and Russell's game performance brings an ironic edge. Carpenter directs some nifty spook effects (the sudden arrival of three martial arts demigods from out of nowhere is worth applause), and he also wrote the music. --Tom Keogh

J. Tutt (indiana)
This Movie is the best even thought it is an older movie it is good clean family fun!!!
 You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this? June 4, 2009

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I watch this movie about once a month. This movie did not have a huge budget, and was never intended to be Shogun. This was a box office failure, did not do well in the theater, critics bashed it, but has found a fan base as it has been available for home viewing. This was a fun script, good cast, and a good time.
The film takes you from a Chinatown kidnapping to an underground world of old sorcery, and you will laugh the whole way. Please check this movie out
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
Big fun with Big Troble May 21, 2009

I don't know why I lkie this movie so much, I just do. Maybe it is the little quips, you have to watch it several times to get them all, just like Airplane. Or my name ain't Jack Burton.

It is what it is. Kurt Russell in his earlier performances. Does a good job at making smart a** remarks. All in all it is intended to be a funny movie from the era. Movie received in good condition and no damages from shipping. As if we would expect otherwise from Amazon. Good job Amazon.

My two sons have loved this movie since first seeing it about 20 years ago. The movie is fun, exciting, a bit far fetched, but with good basic morals. Kurt Russell provides just enough corniness to keep the boys laughing and interested. I would recommend this movie to any 10+ child. My daughter loves it too.
