18 Ratings: 3.5

A movie directed by John Carpenter

Once you settle into the realization that this 1986 John Carpenter (Halloween) film is not going to be one of the director's more masterful works,Big Trouble in Little China just becomes a full-tilt comic blast. Kurt Russell is hilarious as … see full wiki
