Description
"A wholly enjoyable mixture of action, comedy, romance and horror." – Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Kurt Russell stars as Jack Burton, a tough-talking truck driver whose life goes into a supernatural tailspin when his best friend's fiancée is kidnapped in John Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China. Jack suddenly finds himself in a murky, danger-filled world beneath San Francisco's Chinatown, where Lo Pan, a 2,000-year-old magician, mercilessly rules an empire of spirits. Facing down a host of unearthly terrors, Jack battles through Lo Pan's dark domain in a full-throttle, action-riddled ride to rescue the girl. Also starring James Hong, Kim Cattrall and Dennis Dun, this special effects-filled spectacle is a non-stop thrill ride to an incredible finish!
Why We Love It
“Its bonus features are hard to beat. HEARTILY RECOMMENDED to Carpenter connoisseurs!” – Dr. Stephen Larson, Blu-ray.com
“If you’re a Big Trouble in Little China fan, you’ll want to run, not walk, to a store, online or otherwise, and snap up this jam-packed two-disc Collector’s Edition from Shout! Factory.” – Brad Cook, Flickering Myth
“Beloved for its loopy dialogue (courtesy of offbeat screenwriter W.D. Richter) and for the way director Carpenter makes the film into one big video game, with heroes fighting their way through one danger-packed secret lair after another.” – Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
“You can't go wrong with Big Trouble In Little China. John Carpenter's action opus is a delight of fast fisticuffs with dry quips delivered by a peak form Kurt Russell. It doesn't get much better than a Carpenter/Russell flick and watching this again makes one wish they made more movies together… Your John Carpenter collection isn't complete without Big Trouble In Little China and this new release is Highly Recommended.” – Matthew Hartman, High-Def Digest
“It’s a highly satisfying release” – Tim Salmons, The Digital Bits
“While John Carpenter has crafted many revered films, Big Trouble in Little China stands out as perhaps his most unabashedly fun venture. A rollicking action adventure, showcasing a game Kurt Russell throwing his bravado against mythical monstrosities. Shout Factory has put together a release that truly celebrates a film worthy of its cult status.” – Jon Partridge, CINAPSE
