Not in the middle of the world, a curious product

What is unacceptable is why the Chinese fiancée of the second male king was played by a foreign girl. The Chinese face was so unwelcome in Hollywood back then.

The appearance of the big villain zombie is very Fu Manchu, Fu Manchu represents the yellow peril, the Westerners vilify the Chinese. Charlie Chen is a positive image, a detective. Although the image is not handsome enough, Hollywood should co-produce Charlie Chen's film with the mainland.

Jackie Chan's "A Good Man" seems to plagiarize a gang funeral.

Cantonese like "Xingjia Shovel" appears in the film, very authentic.

Some of the designs of the underground palace are still good, such as the water monster and the bottomless well.

Liu Zhenwei's "The Home of the Dead" was obviously influenced by this film.

    It seems that in the 1980s, Hong Kong movies were all popular in the United States. If it wasn't for the English language, I really thought I was watching a Hong Kong fantasy martial arts movie.

    From a curious point of view, it is really exciting and funny! It can even be said that it has the style of Hong Kong film nonsense comedy. And there is no malicious accent, the Chinese male protagonist has high light, the martial arts is quite good, and the special effects are a big scene for this cafe.

Big Trouble in Little China quotes

  • Jack Burton: Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

  • Jack Burton: Well, ya see, I'm not saying that I've been everywhere and I've done everything, but I do know it's a pretty amazing planet we live on here, and a man would have to be some kind of FOOL to think we're alone in THIS universe.
