Martial arts. Ancient sorcerers. Monsters. Kurt Russell driving a big rig. Somehow, Big Trouble in Little China managed to cram all of that into one unforgettable movie. This time, we’re revisiting John Carpenter’s cult classic and discussing why Gen X fans still can’t get enough of Jack Burton and the Pork-Chop Express. From its endlessly quotable dialogue to its unique blend of action, comedy, fantasy, and horror, we’ll explore what makes this one of the most beloved cult films of the 1980s.
