Big Trouble in Little China is a really fun movie. I have watched it twice and feel I should again. I confess, I first watched it because I've watched most of Sex and the City and knew that Big Trouble was Kim Cattrall's "break out role." If you are in a Western kick, and haven't seen it, watch the 1995 film "The Quick and the Dead." It's cheesy but I enjoy it. It's one of those movies that, if it is on TV, I always put on.
Pff. Big Trouble in Little China was a box office bomb. it opened at #12 and made back $11m of its $25m budget (not including P&A). It's fair to say nobody saw it and then, years later, people were all "huh. Kurt Russell was in that thing?" You wanna see Kim Cattrall's break out role? You're watching the wrong genre. knew that Big Trouble was Kim Cattrall's "break out role."
Wow, I haven't thought about that movie in a long time. I watched it quite a bit when I was a kid and I've never looked at a mannequin the same way since.
