Adjust your brains before watching Big Trouble In Little China; see it's one of those films, that, even tough nicely directed, are openly very silly in every aspect. Now after you've adjusted your brains in the correct receiving mode you might even enjoy this testosterone adventure of a trucker, who is trying to save his truck among other things.
Jack Burton (Kurt Russel) is a truck driver, whose truck get stolen by group of eeevil thugs, who serve LoPan (James Hong), who also kidnaps the wife (Suzee Pai) to be of Jack's friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun). The purpose would be to get the truck and the girl back. Oh, and to but more twist in it a lawyer Gracie (Kim Cattrall) gets kidnapped too.
There is something intentionally bad about the creatures used in the film. It all seems to be so intentionally planned as a B movie, that you can only give kudos to director John Carpaneter for making the film this way. He could have tried to turn this porridge into something serious, but luckily he didn't and the campy values of the film give it a nice layer of comedy.
Sure, it's not the greatest film ever conceived, but if you take it as it is, you won't be disappointed with it.
