I’ve seen it before, and it’s a fun, silly film IIRC, but let’s take another look at #BigTroubleInLittleChina

Yeah, by any objective standard #BigTroubleInLittleChina is a terrible, no good, very bad movie.

It is however a ridiculous amount of fun. It would be a perfect #Monsterdon film…

@arcadiagt5 Even better: listen to the commentary track, which is John Carpenter and Kurt Russell celebrating being friends from start to finish.

@arcadiagt5 James Hong (David Lo-Pan) is now 97 years old and still working. He's an absolute legend.

And he clearly loves the fandom that's built up around the movie over the years...
