Reviews for Big Trouble in Little China
I saw Kurt Russell in lipstick armed with a bowie knife and thought, "Super-duper."

A misunderstood, underrated blast of a movie from genre king John Carpenter. As imaginitive and fun as anything he's done.

On the commentary track, Russell and Carpenter provide one of the best bantering sessions I've ever heard

The film is probably best characterized by a comment from a review quoted in the DVD commentary by Kurt Russell: 'Absolutely fabulous and terminally hip.'

A film to embody the Eighties, and justify them

an immensely enjoyable mess, one whose sheer energy and inventiveness outweighs its numerous flaws

Kung fu, monsters, sorcery, 18-wheelers, swordfights and world-saving heroics against impossible odds: What more could you want?

You know what old Jack Burton would say in a time like this? Jack Burton would say see this movie.
07/25/01
A 'B'-movie-style Western meets Eastern, a supernatural 'chopsocky' fantasy with leading man Kurt Russell doing a feature-length impression of a dead movie star. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. [Blu-ray]
08/12/09
The high-octane action comedy takes all that was worthwhile from decades of B-flicks and distills it into a maximum-concentration explosion of cinematic TNT.
