I just finished watching Big Trouble in Little China for the first time, and here are some of my thoughts on it:
1. That intro began a little slow but nicely setup the story, as soon as the music starts it really sets the energetic and fun tone of the movie.
2. That was both some of the best and some of the corniest fighting, and it was fantastic. I think the highlight for me was at the Chinese standoff when one guy took the time to prepare a board behind the others head, just so he could punch him through it.
3. "Chinese standoff. Don't make a sound." -- that's not a direct quote, which is a shame as the movie is full of really quotable parts but they tended to have an extra bit thrown in the middle ruining it.
4. I can see why it has been so popular and has been a part of American culture, I've seen it mentioned so many times but never knew anything about it.
5. That was an awesome ending, all the evil minibosses got cool little deaths and the knife catching was typical Kurt Russell awesomeness.
