John Carpenter Appreciation Month - Big Trouble In Little China

from Cinema Degeneration · host cinemadegneration

"Everybody Relax, We’re here!" We’re continuing on with our John Carpenter Appreciation Month today! Join us this month as we dissect the 1986 American fantasy martial arts action-comedy: “BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA”. John Carpenter brings back one of our favorite actors to play the gruff truck driver, Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) who helps his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dunn) rescue his fiance from an ancient sorcerer Lo Pan (James Hong). What’s not to appreciate this week?? Our host Cameron Scott takes this wild ride with fellow actor, filmmaker, cinematographer Tony Walters, who is also the founder of Rad Entertainment and part owner of Midwest Action Fest and Midwest Horror Fest. Join these reasonable guys who have now experienced some very unreasonable things after re-watching this film where they learn if Lo Pan was the little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock.
