Pros: Fun story, great performances, solid direction
Cons: Might be too campy for the serious crowd.
Big Trouble in Little China: 20th Century Fox
Rating: USA: PG-13
When John Carpenter’s film The Thing debuted in 1982, critics were quick to slam it as little more than a mindless gore film. Movie fans stayed...

Pros: Great story, lots of one-liners
Cons: The DVD needed more extras
Big Trouble in Little China stars Kurt Russell and Kim Catrall (Sex and the City) in one of John Carpenter’s many classic science fiction action films. This movie was not a huge hit when it was first released in 1986, but it has since grown ...

Pros: A load of fun to watch - they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
Cons: Nyah-ha! Nothing if you don't want there to be.
I was upstairs at the time, earlier today, when I heard a loud honking on the TV downstairs. Admittedly, I’m a movie freak, and that specific horn sounded familiar. I listened for a bit longer before realizing – my little sister had put on Big ...

Pros: Campy over the top action adventure with Chinese ghosts and demons!
Cons: Way campy. Is that a con?
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Directed by John CarpenterWhen some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks ...

by flash-hammer - Top 500, Dec 09 '04
Pros: Funny,Exciting,generally wonderful viewing
Cons: um...get back to me on that
In any conversation about films of the 1980s, slap into discussion the movie about the wisecracking,overly-cocky bumbling hero who has to take on supernatural forces, often with humorous results, and chances are your co-discussers will think you are ...

Pros: Russell is fantastic. Great fights.
Cons: Will remind you how bad Carpenter has become recently.
Watching a John Carpenter film is just like sex - no, wait, hear me out on this one – due to the simple fact that it seems great when you’re younger, but as time goes by and you experience it more, you realise that it’s overblown (forgive the pun) and...

Pros: A wild ride of exhilarating fun.
Cons: Nothing. It's pure escapism and doesn't pretend to be anything else.
For nonstop action and slambang entertainment, you can't beat this movie. From beginning to end, it's a pure funride. There's no way any of it could happen in this world, and probably not in the next one, but it's so much fun that we just suspend ...

Pros: A fine film...
Cons: that's only now being appreciated
Director John Carpenter's last great movie, Big Trouble in Little China is an almost indescribable marriage of his John Ford (and, by extension, John Wayne) obsession with cornball Chinese-butcher shop mysticism. Russell stars as the eminently quotable...

Pros: Funny, lots of action
Cons: A bit cheesy
Big Trouble in Little China is one of those movies that came out and was almost laughable because it is in part cheesy, but it is also one of those movies that most tend to like despite its flaws. The movie has funny likable characters, humor, lots of ...

Pros: Fast pace, well done action scenes
Cons: Kim Catrell
Once more dear friends John Carpenter and Kurt Russel went into the breach to make a movie together, the result is a wild roller coaster ride that's entertaining, just as long as you don't stop to think, and Carpenter keeps things going just fast enough...

Pros: Silly kung fu fun!
Cons: Mostly for fans of silly kung fu fun!
Because lets face it, it IS a B movie.
Lessee, the 80's brought us Howard the Duck, Buckaroo Banzi, and Big Trouble In Little China.
Well, I LIKED Howard the duck when I saw it....but I was sorta drunk at the time, so that shouldn't...

Pros: Different movie for cliche-ridden 80's
Kurt Russell is a perfect hotheaded moron
Cons: People compare it to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon unnecessarily today
This movie did not do anything when it was first released in 1986 because, like most of what Kurt Russell and John Carpenter did together in the 80's, it was ahead of its' time, and nobody understood it. I was kind of surprised to hear that because...

Pros: Dood, it's a myth!
Cons: It is a bit cornball, heh.
People like Big Trouble in Little China . . . mostly without knowing why. Asked, most people will mumble something about it being "fun." But it's really more sinister than that . . . .
Okay, it's not sinister. But it...

Pros: coolest action flick ever made
Cons: kim cattrall is really horrible
Yes, it's definitely funny, with B-movie elements, comic book action, over the top martial arts, but seemingly unlike other reviewers and probably viewers in general, I found this film really freaking cool and stylish as well.
I'm purposely...

Pros: A wild adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones meets The Last Dragon.
Cons: Too short, no sequel!
FILM
Director John Carpenter’s homage to the Hong Kong flicks of old, is the rare combination of gut-busting humor, and pulse-quickening action, all of which amounts to a true cult classic in BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. This highly underrated film...
