When trucker Jack Burton agreed to take his friend Wang Chi to pick up his fiancee at the airport, he never expected to get involved in a supernatural battle between good and evil. Wang's fiancee has emerald green eyes, which make her a perfect target for an immortal sorcerer named Lo Pan and his three invincible cronies. Lo Pan must marry a girl with green eyes so he can regain his physical form. Now, Jack must save Wang's fiancee from Lo Pan and his henchmen, and win back his stolen truck. But how can he defeat an enemy who has no body. Big Trouble in Little China is a movie that survived thanks to the home video market and for that we can only be grateful. While its looks may have aged, it's sense of humour and style is as fresh today as the day it first rolled out in cinemas. In short, it's pure entertainment magic.Read full review
First and foremost!! Thanks for the classic flick. My younger brother and i grew up on this karate fighting action movie. We would be doing round houses and flying kicks off the couches in are underwear every morning. I can't wait to see if my sons enjoy this movie as much as i did. "see things no one else can see, do things no one else can do, What things, real things, As real as Lopan!! I have found a girl with green eyes". lol i love it! What an awesome find to complete my bizarre movie collection..... Now if only "No retreat, No Surrender" would be released on dvd..... if only if only, thanks again, u are awesome. An oldie but goodie for sure!!

This movie is a classic 80s movie, directed by the great John Carpenter. Director of other great movies like Halloween, In the Mouth of Madness and Ghosts of Mars. This movie is filled with beautiful green eyed women and a gun toting Kurt Russell. The dialogue is scatter with awesome one-liners. With a character list for the ages. Lo Pan, the head of the evil clan who is trying to get his human flesh back. Along with the help of his trifecta of henchmen; Thunder, Rain and Lightning. Battling the evil side is the force of Jack Burton, the truck driving womanizer, Wang Chi, Jack's trusty side kick and Uncle Chu, Wang's crazy eyed uncle. This is a movie you will just have to see yourself.
Great DVD for it not to be new. The disc was scratch free and didn't give me any problems when playing. Not bad for $5. The movie of course was great!!! Well worth the trouble of tracking it down.
