Written by Gary Goldman, David Z. WeinsteinDirected by John CarpenterAlso known as "John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China"Running Time: 120 minutes (approx)Production Year: 1986Rating: 15 CertificateProduction Country: USAFilmed in ColourJohn Carpenter's enjoyable martial arts romp that's played firmly with its tongue in cheek. Kurt Russell plays Jack Burton, who agrees to pick up a friend's girlfriend from the airport. But when Miao Yin is kidnapped in front of him, Burton finds she's been abducted by sorcerer Lo Pan, the host of the spirit of an ancient Chinese warlord. He wants her for her unique green eyes, rare among Chinese women, to rejuvenate his spirit, and Burton has just hours to track down his lair and free Yin. With nods to the Indiana Jones trilogy, Carpenter enjoys setting up one exciting, exotic set piece after another while Russell wisely reprises the all-action, wise-cracking Snake Plissken from Escape from New York to enjoyable effect.
