You just listed a bunch of great films. All of them reason to ignore the reviews and ratings. I love Big Trouble. One of Russel’s campiest and most fun films.
Big Trouble may be one of the Great Movies. Honestly, I think it’s just about perfect; for being so over-the-top, the characters are both imperfect and utterly believable. Even Lo Pan.
I think (my own personal opinion) is that Big Trouble in Little China did something so crazy and wacky that no one actually recognised it at the time.
If you look at the film from a certain perspective, Jack Burton was the sidekick, and Wang was the main character. And they just filmed it from the perspective of the sidekick who thinks he’s the main character, which is a conceit I’ve always adored.
