BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

NOVEMBER 18

Cult Classic Collection

John Carpenter goes kung fu with this breathlessly imaginative martial-arts spectacular in which truck-driving tough guy Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) must infiltrate the mystical, spirit-filled underworld of San Francisco’s Chinatown. in order to rescue his friend’s fiancée from the clutches of a two-thousand-year-old sorcerer. Jack must help his friend rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit. Russell does an irresistibly goofball send-up of John Wayne–style machismo, while Carpenter revels in taking every martial-arts cliché in the book to giddy extremes.
