John Carpenter's 'Big Trouble In Little China' is one of the most amusing movies I have seen to date. This 1980's cult classic, is weird, lively, entertaining & amusing.
Kurt Russell stars as Truck Driver, Jack Burton, who helps his friend Wang Chi, played by Dennis Dun, rescue his green-eyed fiancée from bandits in San Francisco's Chinatown. What follows later on, is a series of unexpected moments, that are executed with humor!
'Big Trouble In Little China' is not at all meant for the pseudo critics. It's for those, who enjoy cinema, even when it insults your intelligence. It's for those, who don't mind watching a villain who's 2000 years old, to begin with! This cult classic packs in several interesting moments, especially in the first hour, which is quite funny. The Second Hour goes wilder, and the culmination is well-shot. Carpenter's direction is good. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are note-worthy. Special Effects & Make-Up are good.
Performance-Wise: Russell is absolutely superb as the main hero, who hardly does anything heroic. He gets his comic timing right and entertains from start to end. Dennis Dun is lovable. Kim Catrall & James Hong are first-rate. Others lend able support.
On the whole, If your willing to forgive it's escapism, then I would say do check it out. It's one cinematic experience!
