Jack Burton is peak Kurt Russell. Kurt is great in every role he's done especially when he's working with John Carpenter but as Jack Burton, Kurt is dripping with swagger and chewing the scenery all while playing an incompetent fool. The chasm between who Jack Burton thinks he is versus who everyone else sees him as is comedy gold! This movie is completely chocked full of great quotable lines from start to finish. I would love for JC and KR to film a sequel where Jack Burton has an adventure that takes him across China. Call it.. 'New Trouble in Old China: Jack Burton Rides Again! '

I would extend that to the likes of spaceballs and Blazing Saddles but if your movie is a comedy, full of comedic actors and comedians then of course it's going to be light-hearted all around. These movies had a bit of everything and they're not strictly comedies, neither are they full of comedians and comedic actors, it's special when we see it, it gives you a good feeling beyond that of seeing a movie you really like.

My favourite thing about this is that the commentaries for Escape From New York, The Thing and Big Trouble were all recorded on the same exact day at Carpenter’s home. Russell brought whisky and Carpenter had beers. Gradually, each commentary becomes more unhinged, as the two become more and more drunk and disorderly. It makes it so funny to me that essentially we’re hearing two old friends get drunk and reminisce about their youths.

I've read about the the film taking place in the 1880s originally, hearing Kurt talk about it adds another dimension to the mix. I must say, however, that I just cannot imagine this film being a western in any way ! I think John (and whoever else was involved with the script) made a very wise decision back then !

Personally I wouldn't mind having a bootleg copy of Big Trouble in Little China, from the alternate universe where they did go ahead and make it a Western. Just for curiosity's sake. It's on the list along, with a version of Star Wars where George Mifune got Toshiro Mifune for Obi-Wan Kenobi like he originally wanted or an R-rated Jurassic book that followed the Michael Crichton novel more closely.

Love the real sense of friendship just from listening to them, Kurt R laughing his ass off is great!

You can tell that the case and crew had a good time making this film just as much as the Buckaroo Banzaii crew did. And it shows in the end product. They’re both pure joy from beginning to end.

Just found out this came out the day I left home for basic training (seems somehow fitting although there was nothing funny about Ft. Jackson, SC in July and August). Saw it the first time on cable several years later and thought it was older than it actually was and wondered how I had missed it. Fantastic matinee fun at home in the recliner on your day off; love both these guys and their art.

As a tween when this movie came out, I've loved it ever since I saw the first trailer. Still love it, and still holds up today.

I ran this as a projectionist for quite a few of weeks, and I always kept the monitor volume up for this picture. It just kept getting funnier to me. Every time I'd be doing something else in the booth, and I'd hear, "Me, Jack Burton," I'd start to laugh. Maybe my favorite Jack Burton moment is at the airport, when the Asian guy pulls out a butterfly knife and flips it open, and Jack says, "Where'd you get that?"

Peak James Hong, too. The guy has been in every movie, but really helped make this one.

Thankfully they finally gave James Hong his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He featured over 600 films. Truly an American treasure.

From one of the few that saw this opening day. It was definitely the best film of the year. You perfectly captured an era. Great work and thank you!

Loved the movie back then and still love it. I am going to show it to my kids as well. These guys are legends (and I know this is overused, but very appropriate for them imo).

Part Kung Fu movie, part Western, with a little bit of Dungeons & Dragons sprinkled in.

It's epic to hear John Carpenter and Kurt Russell talk and laugh about this classic movie they made nearly 40 years ago 🤣 The fact it had to compete with movies like Aliens, Top Gun, Platoon, Labyrinth, Ferris Beuller's day off, Highlander, Crocodile Dundee and many others made in 1986 shows this was truly the golden age of movies.

An absolutely hilarious romp from beginning to end! I watched it so many times when I was a teenager in the 80 on VHS. I just ordered it on bluray.
