Kuhusu filamu hii

Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) is 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. Burton's pal, Wang Chi (Dennis Dun), is trying to rescue his kidnapped fiancée. Egg Shen (Victor Wong), an enigmatic tour-bus driver seems to know a lot about ancient Chinese magic for a simple tour-bus driver. 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.

It's not for everybody, and some people won't quite get it. For those that do get what this is though, it's sweet gold. This is at the top of a list that has a bunch of Carpenter films in it, some of which are the Escape Series. It's like a B movie but not bad in any way. This is a movie that is painfully aware of itself. The hero is the sidekick, the sidekick is the hero. The villains are comically overdone. If you like amazing things then this is for you. If you're lame, then take a pass.

Made when men were men and women were women. When racial terms like Chinatown could be used. Now it's Asian Metropolis. Hope your not offended.

This is the highest point in action movies. It aged very well compared to most 80s movies. Kurt Russell is the perfect anti hero.
