Behind the scenes, Big Trouble in Little China

[boleplissken]

John Carpenter: "They wanted raiders of the lost ark...I wanted something else."

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

no mention of jeff imada, what a crock.

[alexanderjbf]

"I think you'll get your 5 bucks worth"

[dromanoski1979]

Why they don't have this Behind the scenes, Big Trouble in Little China on VHS tape emal me back

[DIGITALSCREAMS]

I consider myself very lucky to be a kid of the 80's.

I was 10 years old when I saw Big Trouble. As a young, imaginative kid...it had such an impact on me - the characters, the visuals, the music, the sounds. Even at that age I knew I was watching something special. Fast forward 25 years and its still one of my favourite films. I recently bought a limited edition (only 3000 copies) soundtrack CD to the film. I love Carpenter's stories, direction and music.

Pure genuis.

[Windermarin]

7:07 HOLY SHIT 5 BUCKS TO WATCH A MOVIE?!?!?!? I miss the 80's more than ever now.

[MsKissfan2010]

james hong is cool on here

[BeavertailBadDog]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time along with The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonji. Notice the young HOT Kim Canttrell be fefore her Sex In The City fame.

[snizshizzle]

John Carpenter is the man. Prince of Darkness and They Live are two other great movies by him.

[GialloHorror]

@snizshizzle Other GREAT movies by him "Halloween", "The Fog", "Escape From New York" and "The Thing"

[snizshizzle]

@GialloHorror

Ah, yes they are indeed good movies as well. Haven't seen The Fog - will have to check that out.

[Skull10]

@snizshizzle I think "The Fog" is better than "Halloween", personally.

[Zombpenguin]

Still a proud owner of the special edition DVD for this movie. Must have watched it a hundred times.

[MsKissfan2010]

james hong rocks

[mreeping]

the good ol days! why do movies suck now?

[JRHartly1984]

Best movie ever made, from a guy that made about five of the all time best!

[Epic13]

"YES SIR, THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL.."

[sherman1ai]

I remember just losing it when he states, "We may be trapped." 1:20 lolololol

[Epic13]

@sherman1ai HAHAHA! That is a classic.... "1, 2, 3 follow the leader..." LOL!

[CheifPaco]

Kim Catrall always gave me a boner when I was a kid :D

[MrDontstareitsrude]

This is where ed boon and john tobias created mortal kombat

[SatansMullet]

@MrDontstareitsrude Yep, sure did. they have noted many times that Raiden came from Lightening and Shang Tsung was Lo Pan!

[Panorama1981]

I hope Carpenter and Russell team up again.

[abcumm25]

I absolutely LOVE this movie!!! Carpenter and Kurt Russell rule!!

[shanenolan85]

John Carpenter is the man!!!!!!!

[LoPe724]

james hong as david lo pan not bad great person in real life :).

[MrAstropop99]

five bucks for a movie holy shit

[sherman1ai]

@MrAstropop99 haha no kidding. times have changed.

[TheAltair4]

Masterpiece! Such a fun and truly unique action/fantasy classic.

[Johnlindsey289]

@TheAltair4

I know, loved it since i was 7 back in 88 when i saw it on HBO with my family and one of my fave fantasy movies. Gotta love it when Thunder inflates and gotta love that Hairy Chinese wildman creature who looks like a wookie with a stroak and that lovable eyeball sphere Guardian.

[HardKore5250]

Damn movies were 5 bucks now its 12 what the hell? (JackBurton)

[HardKore5250]

Damn Lo Pan looks evil! That wall walk look so real but as we know its impossible because of gravity

[HardKore5250]

Damn Lo Pan looks evil!

[CraigKramer]

Carpenter is tragically underrated. As is Kurt Russell, as is this great film.

[swettybettybob]

I'm watching this on DVD now for the 100th time lol.

[1131982vincent]

The problem with hollywood these days that all i good idea's have been done and now there trying to make movie's the people don't know wo is in it and what is it about anybody can be in a movie,will it my money well that the-?-you can make a movie and it will not make no money at all,only in time can tell if something good comes up.

[wandererlain]

@1131982vincent Hollywood is so wooden and soulless. John Carpenter has always veered away from that and made great cult movies that he WANTED to make. I really respect this guy because he loves movies, and kind of rebelled against the system.

[dvdmsch]

Film companies need to start making movies like this again.

[baprig]

This is the best movie ever!!! they should make a sequel

[Jess57825]

i love this clip james hong rocks!!!!

[Craigmin]

The funniest movie I've had the pleasure to watch!

[ACDCISCOOLNESS]

They don't make cool fun adventure movies like this anymore. Everything's about Spies and death and horrific plots. No funny mythology movies or light hearted action adventures with unique stories. The World has changed.

[B0NEL0C0]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS I agree

[Johnlindsey289]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS

Maybe they should do a comeback.

[ACDCISCOOLNESS]

@Johnlindsey289 There was an attempt to make a cross over comic book to show the continued adventures of Jack Burton. Its rare and I have tried to look it up on torrents.

[Bloodsport1]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS huh, every movie coming out now especially this summer is some light hearted comedy adventure movie, its that today movies are lame and predictable with no likable characters.

[SatansMullet]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS They said they are going to remake big trouble in little china, the lead is going to be Will Smith, and he is going to be in Korea fighting for human rights against Kim Jung Pan with jackie chan as Egg Shen.. they said that they didnt wanna change the name cause they knew it would be more popular like that.. kinda like how they (remade) the Karate kid... with him in China.. learning Kung Fu...

[3edere]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS Unfortunately u're right and yet there are media, like games, where this kind of advs are very much developed. Hopefully, this trend will come up again in movie making. Sure enough we need very good screen writers and most of all actors/ress who wish to be engaged by self irony. Cross fingers!

[simmeringsful]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS  True, and everything is dominated by terrible remakes.

[Kaagh178]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS Lets face it. The 80s and 90s was where imagination burned with the brightest flame.

[Skull10]

@Kaagh178 Amen.

[Skull10]

@ACDCISCOOLNESS Check out "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" and "The Green Hornet". Fun sci-fi/action-adventure movies that don't take themselves too seriously.

[ogorjefan]

Kurt Rusell owns!!

[Honestabe86]

@ogorjefan

Indeed!

[RAJSTA81]

Carpenter should make part 2

[HardKore5250]

Both he and Kurt Russell want to but because it didnt do well at the box office motion picture companies are refusing though they said they were thinking making a tv series or tv movie.

[RAJSTA81]

@HardKore5250

yeah its a shame, Would of been good to see though!

[minuteforme]

Thank you for this video.

[EbayFigureReviews777]

This should have been on the 2 disc dvd set.

[lukenuetzmann]
