It's cheesy, it's corny, but it is entertaining. Kurt Russell is great. The movie has a real unique look once things start happening.

While its looks may have aged, its sense of humour and style is as fresh today as the day it first rolled out in cinemas. In short, it's pure escapist magic.

Haha! This reminds me my childhood. Very simple, unrealistic, soft... 80's popcorn movie. I guess that many of here have some kind of nostalgic love with this one. Here, in Brazil, many of us have :D.

Not as good as the legend has it. I loved it as a kid though. It's still good if you're looking for a bizzare and outlandish action flick with small bits of both intentional and unintentional comedy.

Enjoyable enough adventure flick with another charismatic performance from Kurt Russell. The plot certainly felt disjointed at times (and one sequence didn't really advance the plot all that much) but still had a lot of fun. Not one of Carpenter's best nor a standout amongst 1980s movies, however st More

Somehow Road House had a baby with the very campiest of 1960s Hong Kong, and John Carpenter signed on to direct (plus compose the soundtrack). Wildly entertaining, and self-aware enough to embrace the sheer lunacy of mysically-powered gang warfare amidst the nooks and crannies of Chinatown, it's More

_Big Trouble in Little China_ is not the movie it is marketed to be. But it is good. You wait the ten minutes it takes for the absurdity to kick in and then you ride the ridiculous ride until the closing credits.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
