BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
The legendary heroes of the silver screen are about to have some unusual company. His name is Jack Burton, and he isn’t a hero by choice. He’s a "good ol’ boy" who powers his huge semi-trailer, the Pork Chop Express, through hell and high water, hauling live pigs to the wholesale market. Purely by chance, he’s swept up into one of the most bizarre adventures any screen hero has ever lived. Jack has been everywhere, seen everything and come back to tell about it – but even he couldn’t have dreamed this one up! Kurt Russell stars as Jack Burton, a simple man who doesn’t believe in ghosts or magic until he’s swept into a mind-boggling adventure deep within Chinatown’s mysterious underworld. Joining Russell are Dennis Dun as Burton’s pal, Wang Chi, who is trying to rescue his kidnapped fiancée; Kim Cattrall as Gracie Law, a crusading attorney; Victor Wong as Egg Shen, an enigmatic tour-bus driver who seems to know a lot about ancient Chinese magic for a simple tour-bus driver; and Kate Burton as Margo Litzenberger, an eager but inexperienced reporter. Together they do battle with an outlandish array of human and inhuman adversaries under the command of Lo Pan (James Hong), a 2000-year-old evil magician who has the power to transform himself from a wheelchair-bound old man into a seven-foot-tall mystical menace. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is directed by John Carpenter who has created such cult classics as Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, The Thing, Starman and Escape from L.A.
