Big Trouble in Little
China (1986)
Directed by John
Carpenter this film stars Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun and
James Hong. A truck driver and his friend attempt to get the friend's
kidnapped fiancée back from gangs and mystic enemies.
This film is certainly
a mixed bag, it has a cult following but was largely panned during
it's release. Some of the dialogue is pretty bad, the special effects
do not age well and while the plot is crazy neither it nor the
characters add much depth. There is some mileage to the idea that the
blundering protagonist represents American foreign policy but I think
this might be reading a little too much into this film.
2/5
