What does that mean, huh? China is here? I don't even know what the hell that means. All I know is that this Lopan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a god damn alley, while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there, waiting for to drive my truck straight through him, with light coming out of his mouth?!

That's from memory. I love this movie.

Confused, out of his element Kurt Russell is the best

$1950!!! Worth it.
 
Jack Burton: You can go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave.

Lo Pan: Indeed!

Jack Burton: Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?




EDIT: I just love this quote (and part) of the movie so much.

It really epitomizes the character of Jack Burton. Here he is, tied up, and talking to a 1000+ year old man being kept alive by evil, demonic forces. And Jack Burton is a total smart ass to him, right to his face.

How can you not love that?
 
I made my girlfriend watch this movie with me and kept telling her how awesome it is. a few days later this was delivered to my work from her.

I remember not knowing anything about the movie when my family rented it on VHS, other than it had Kurt Russell who is in The Thing. My brother and I loved it. Such a huge surprise.

I do own this t-shirt, which I bought a few years ago. I do like the one posted earlier in this thread, though.

I fucking love this movie. The best part is how Jack Burton is completely confused all the time, completely out of his element. Best part is the wheelchair conversation with Lo Pan.


"...are you crazy, is that your problem?" So good.
 
"I can't go-"
"Yeah, I know, there's something wrong with your face."

We just watched it this weekend in fact with a bunch of people who hadn't seen it. They thought it was crazy.

Jack Burton: Hollow?

Wang Chi: Hollow.

Jack Burton: Fuck it.

*pulls out knife and rips wall to shreds*

Watch count is probably over 200, thanks to it coming on Encore a couple of weeks ago. Got my kid to watch it, and...yep...he's hooked.
 
I still enjoy this even today. Just a great film to watch when you want to kick back and enjoy something.

Just don't play the video game.
 
"Here's to the army and the navy and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors, the colors that never run."

I say this every chance I get.

In german they say "Auf die Armee und die Infantrie, und möge die amerikanische Flagge niemals zerreißen"...

I say that as many times as possible when people are drinking some beer or shots, it's just so hilariously over the top, and people are annoyed as hell... :D
 
Nothing will ever top the Carpenter-Russell Holy Trinity-

-Escape from New York
-The Thing
-Big Trouble in Little China


Absolute fucking gold.
As much as I love Rowdy in THEY LIVE, it could have easily worked with Kurt. :}
 
Among the onslaught of 80s films that are just purely enjoyable, Big Trouble in Little China is my favorite. It never lessens in its appeal.
