If you know what BTILC stands for then you smiled as soon as it came out of your mouth. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is the most entertaining movie ever made. I'm not saying it's the greatest film or that it changed the game in some way, but it does everything a movie should do, consistently...it entertains.
If you don't like Kurt Russell for some insane reason, you will after this. He's hilarious. He acts like some truck driver who has just been dropped into some magical underworld of San Francisco's Chinatown and...oh wait...
As a kid, I fell in love with, what else, glowing green lights, magic, and karate fights in alleyways, but now that I'm older, all those things still work except now it also cracks me up throughout. Jack Burton is a legendary character and, if you haven't seen it, do so and you'll be quoting him for the rest of your life.
The action is non-stop. You get fights, Chinese black magic, the journey into the underworld complete with the black blood of the earth...("Don't you mean oil?!"..."I mean black blood of the earth!"). It starts running at the airport and never stops.
Do yourself a favor, check out the trailer, and then check out the movie. It's all in the reflexes. Carpenter is a GOD!
