I love The Morning News’ list of the Best Worst Movies. I especially dig Erik Bryan’s entry about Big Trouble in Little China, where he pays some homage to the hero of the movie, played Kurt Russell
Movies of the Reagan years were full of impossible he-men, all of them brilliantly skilled and unbeatable. Boring. On the contrary, Jack Burton is a total jackass who idolizes himself in the third person, makes terrible decisions, and only manages to succeed through the sheerest of luck and the help of his far more adept associates.
I’m holding my breath for a Criterion Collection edition of the film.
