Big Trouble In Little China Appreciation

[Apollo Creed]

Weren't they talking about doing a remake of this starting The Rock?

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Movie is so fukking weird and random. It has its flaws, but it was a favorite of mine as a kid. I remember HBO used to air it a lot. Wish we could've had that sequel.

John Carpenter did co-write a comic book sequel in recent times that picks up EXACTLY where the movie ends.

"Aren't you gonna kiss her goodbye?"

"Nope".

That and the "I know" Han Solo line are the top quotes of all time.

Hell no.

Hell no.
Look at that god forsaken mess ghostc*nters.

Not a god forsaken mess but this isn't the space for that lol. Rocky says he's still going forward with it but it's the rock. Who knows when that's going to happen because the dude doesn't even have enough time to sit down and breathe

I liked the 40 minutes or so but that movie was not for me.

 

[invincible1914]

Rock could do it actually IF he gets the joke of it. Jack burton isn't the main character. He isn't the hero. He's the sidekick. Wan is the hero. It's his movie lol. He's the one who can do all the cool shyt he's the one rescuing the girl and he's the one with the clear goal. Rock is willing to make himself look foolish if need be but I'm not sure if another studio will get the point

I've watched this movie over 50 times as a kid
classic...

Watched it at the movies.
I remember that summer period we went to the movies like twice week..so many dope releases that month and after! We saw Ferris buelar, pretty in pink, big trouble china, karate kid part 2, under the cherry moon, the fly and aliens!

Can't imagine seeing all them classics at the cinema. Ferris would have had me cutting class everyday.

Carpenter is a genius. I love this movie own it on blu ray and its part of my childhood. Hollywood better stay the fukk away from this and leave it alone. Jack Burton is such a classic character.


Jack Burton: 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."

Jack Burton: You can go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave.
Lo Pan: Indeed!
Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?

This gets me every time I hear it.

 

[FlyGuy]

Yeah I paid my dues.....the check is in the mail.




My most quoted line though is Egg Shen's, "YOU LEAVE JACK BURTON ALONE!"
