Synopsis
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is John Carpenter's fantasy action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Trucker Jack Burton rolls into San Francisco's Chinatown to collect a gambling debt and ends up losing his rig, crashing a kidnapping, and squaring off against a 2,000-year-old sorcerer.
Kurt Russell plays Jack as a swaggering loudmouth who thinks he's the hero while mostly tripping over the real one. His buddy Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) is about to marry a green-eyed bride, but she's snatched by the henchmen of Lo Pan, a cursed wizard who needs a green-eyed girl to get his body back. What follows runs through neon-lit alleys, sewers under the city, three storm warriors, and a sharp-tongued lawyer named Gracie Law (Kim Cattrall).
The film flopped on release and later grew into a cult favorite, loved for Russell's nonstop one-liners and Carpenter's hand-built effects and creatures. Stream Big Trouble in Little China (1986) online on iFILM.
