SR Ep. 9: Big Trouble In Little China

On this episode of ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo are joined by Shawn of Cheap Seat Reviews to discuss just one of John Carpenter’s 80’s cult classics, ’Big Trouble In Little China’!  Carpenter reunites with Kurt Russell to bring us the subversive take on the buddy action comedy.  Carpenter had wanted to make a martial arts film for years and provides his own spin on the genre.  Misunderstood at its time, but still very much a product of its time, ‘Big Trouble’ found its audience thanks to home video.  But how do things hold up these 35+ years on? Well, remember what all Jack Burton says, “ScreenRun is back with a new episode and we’re talkin’ to whoever’s listenin’ out there.”
