Mike R @RT49123036 44 min ago This is my favorite movie, also the favorite of Critical Drinker, and it’s Kurt Russell’s best work. Easily the greatest action comedy ever made. James Hong is fabulous in it too. See more Gareth V @geewah Oct 15, 2026 Russell is a delight, the supporting cast is great and the whole thing is shot with Carpenter’s love of pulp. It’s messy, it’s cheesy and it’s wonderful. See more Jack B @RT43275989 Sep 20, 2026 This movie is what happens when somebody puts kung fu, neon, monsters, Jack Burton, and approximately 900 gallons of 80s cocaine into a blender. Absolute masterpiece of beautiful nonsense. As Jack so wisely says: "It’s all in the reflexes." 😂 And honestly, if your movie doesn’t contain a glowing green eyeball floating around like it just got kicked out of a nightclub, what are we even doing? See more Frans B @FransB Sep 20, 2026 Hilarious, breakneck speed mishmash of magic, clumsiness and over the top action. John Carpenter made sure there is never a dull moment in this absurd roller coaster ride to nowhere 😜 Looks like the objective was just to have FUN making this movie, which is great. Whole cast performs admirably and convincingly in character. More action, sorcery, magic, tomfoolery, drama, calamity and overall confusion than a bat must feel at a rave. Entertaining and captivating See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 15, 2026 I think the 1980s must have been the good timers' decade. Movies were all about having fun. No politics, no lectures, no didacticism, no patronising the audience, just press Play. John Carpenter directs this delightful action comedy, an actioner with horror elements, but really the whole thing is one big goof. I can't believe I didn't laugh at the Three Storms when I was a kid. Those hats! One of them is armed with back scratchers, another with spanners! Kudos to Kurt Russell for making fun of his tough guy image. Jack, the Pork Chop Express trucker, is all swagger and confidence, but most of the time he's borderline useless. His buddy Wang wallops a whole gang of Wing Kong gangsters while Jack is still trying to get his weapons out. The look on his face when he realises he's superfluous! The magical and mystical elements are so much cartoonish tosh, but all harmless fun. Strongly recommended to anyone who wants to have a good time watching some silly nonsense.
