What's the deal with this film? I'm not that much of a Carpenter fan, but at least Escape from NY and The Thing had a really nice look to them, the atmosphere was amazing, and the music was good. The scripts were kinda bad and jokey, but they were entertaining to watch. But I can't get past the 40 minute mark on this one. It's made after Escape and The Thing, and has a bigger budget. But the script is just laughable, to the point it feels like a B-Movie. It looks boring and uninspired and has none of the Carpenter visuals.The acting was always kinda hit or miss, but in this one it's bad across the board. Did he just give up, or was he cashing in on his name/ Kurt Russel?

Even if you disregard the script, it still looks like shit. The fucking snow sequences in The Thing look better that 40 minutes of rainy Chinatown. And it has like twice the budget.
>>
>>84515410
It has a totally different look than The Thing because it's not a dark horror film like The Thing. It's lighter in tone, and the cinematography reflects that. Seriously, I think you may be retarded.

11/10 b8 m8. Congrats OP you're a master troll.
>>
>>84515410
The look was completely on purpouse, the movie looks exactly how it does to match the actors tonally.

It was a bold move that paid off.
>>
OP is a woman, I bet my life on this. Only women could not get something as obvious and awesome as Big Trouble in Little Chine.
>>
I dont see the problem. its a dumb but fun movie. doesnt even try to be something else
>>
>>84515214
Not sure if trolling, but it mocks a lot of american action movie tropes, that's the point if you watch it as an adult. As a child it was one of the greatest movies you could find on cable, in the 80's at least.

OP here
like what the fuck
a Comedy is a joke

You're missing everything good.

This is now a Jack Burton line thread.

>Oh you're right Wang! Why don't we just chew our way out?

I watched it for the first time recently and only had two complaints. One, the female love interest was boring as fuck and it literally made no sense when she kissed him.

Two, the plot jumps without explaining shit. Like, one minute this asian guy is losing at poker or whatever, and the next minute he's explaining this deeply intricate supernatural syndicate that I guess just happened to exist at the time?

Like, you'd think with him knowing this, he'd have gotten the fuck out of china town at some point?

>>84515214
Big Trouble in Little China is a masterpiece, retard.
>>
>That scene at the airport where Kurt adorns this stupid confused expression when they bring out switchblades and shit
>"Where'd you get that?"

It felt like an outtake but it fit Jack Burton so good.
>>
It's good but incredibly overrated by millennials wanting to be nostalgic about shit before their time

I don't know what you're talking about, mate, Big trouble is great and looks beautiful.

Its epic and full of great one liners, it looks like you missed the fun side of the movie.
