Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
We're headed to Kung Fu City with John Carpenter's mystical, martial arts enriched action extravaganza Big Trouble in Little China. Jack Burton is a truck driver who hasn't seen it all but he's seen enough to know there are all kinds of crazy and mysterious things in the world. When he tries to help a buddy pick-up his girlfriend at the airport, he becomes entangled in a Tong war involving the Three Storms (Rain, Thunder and Lightning) and the centuries old dark sorcerer Lo Pan. Like Jack Burton always says, "It's all in the reflexes." Stars Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dunn and James Hong. Big Trouble in Little China was rated PG-13 in 1986 for adult situations, adult language, adult humor, fantasy creatures and extreme Kung Fu fighting.
