Most helpful review Big Trouble In Little China

  • 80s Action Spoof

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By McClennan (424 reviews) from St Helens , 05 Jan 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Funny 80s action spoof with a star turn from Kurt Russell as a John Wayne-esque trucker hero who doesn't actually do anything. Could have hyped up the ludicrousness a bit more to save us from those 80s vibes that were still coming through, but it was funny. Don't let the fact that it's parodying the genre detract from the fact that it's still for all intents and purposes an 80s actioner.

  • Blu-Ray Release?

    Excellent film, but I wish they would release it onto blu-ray and include all the deleted scenes into the main film itself, like they did with Terminator 2: Skynet Edition

    One of the best films ever made. Tragically made no impact at the time. Should have spawned five sequels and a tv series.

  • One For The Truckers

    Maybe in 1986 this was quite neat, and OK, there are a couple of good martial arts performances, but boy has this dated. Maybe one of the worst films I've rented in a while.

  • Great 80s classic family fantasy film

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Daura (68 reviews) from Coventry , 05 Jan 2013
    One of my favourite classics. This is a great film for the family, has magic, mystery, good story, commedy and monsters. Its 80s so you may find the monster scenes quite funny too!! typical man rescues girl scenario to save the world from black magic.

    Trucker beats friend at cards, friend can’t pay bet, trucker runs friend to pick up girl from airport, bad guys also waiting, Big Trouble in Little China.

    Amusing but not as good as I remember action fest with Kurt Russell stealing the show as the loud-mouthed trucker Jack Burton and having some great one-liners.

    It certainly has its share of funny moments and the action isn’t too bad with a definite nod to the 1970s Marshall Arts films.

    Where it does fall down is the acting especially Kim Cattrall and Dennis Dun who are so wooden at times it’s painful although Dun makes up for it with his fight scenes.

    The music as to be expected is mostly awful being 80s bass synths with an Oriental tinge.
