  "How'd you get up there?" - "It wasn't easy!" may be the most ingenious storytelling cop-out in screenplay history. I absolutely adore this film.

  Jack Burton is the best comedy relief sidekick in cinema history

  The creators of Mortal Kombat specifically referenced this film as inspiration for their characters.

  &quot;He&apos;s like Raiden from Mortal Kombat&quot;. Nope. Raiden is like Lightning from this film.<br><br>I&apos;ll tell you what, more people seem to be reacting to this film of late, and it&apos;s really refreshing to watch someone who just instantly <b>really</b> gets it.<br><br>Most underrated quote of the film: &quot;Do you have a gun I hope?&quot;

  <i>&quot;Everyone relax, I&apos;m here!&quot;</i> should be your new catchphrase. 😆

  This movie is way more clever than it gets credit. The fact that they bothered to include a scene where she wipes the lipstick off AFTER he’s had his big moment just makes it that much better 😂

  What makes this movie great, but also confuses some people, is that Jack is not the hero, but he thinks he is. &nbsp;Wang is the hero. &nbsp;Jack is the bumbling sidekick.

  When I was a kid in the late 80s; my friends and I watched this OVER AND OVER. &nbsp;What a great era to be a kid in. &nbsp;I will maintain the 80s was the best era for movies!

  One thing that I think some folks overlook is that Eggs potion increases whatever talents you have to crazy levels. &nbsp;With Egg it was his magical ability, with the &quot;gold turbans&quot; it increased their fighting abilities, with Wang it increased his speed/agility, and with Jack it increased the one exceptional quality he possessed... his reflexes.

  The entire old man Lo Pan scene is my favorite, &quot;Now this really pisses me off to no end!&quot;

  UCLA used to hold a class on John Carpenter&apos;s film &quot;Big Trouble In Little China&quot;.<br>It was focused on the incredible amount of over-explaining of everything in the story. <br>You can&apos;t predict what&apos;s coming, but it WILL be explained at great length. 😂
