“It’s all in the reflexes.” Big Trouble in Little China is a hilarious action-comedy from writer/director John Carpenter. The story follows cocky, loud mouth truck driver Jack Burton as he gets entangled in a world of Chinese mysticism and dark magic while trying to help a friend rescue his kidnapped fiancée. Kurt Russell leads the cast and delivers an outstanding performance that’s incredibly fun. And Carpenter does a masterful job at slowly drawing the audience into a fantasy world and filling it with rich and colorful characters. Additionally, the score (co-written by Carpenter) is especially well done; perfectly capturing the eerie and mystical tone of the film. Mixing satire with fantasy and action, Big Trouble in Little China is an immensely fun and entertaining cult comedy.
