negative · AI labelView post →I rewatched Big Trouble in Little China (1986) last night. I loved it as a kid... and it's even more fun than I remember 😀What a brilliant film. Kurt Russell is magnificent with all his bravado and one-liners, the fights are great, and Lo Pan and his crew are fantastic. 10/10 ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

You could arguably say his effects were the main star in a lot of films he was involved in. My favorite movie Big Trouble in Little China wouldn’t have 2 of my fav scenes w/o him, these 2 freaks.

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the core charms of Big Trouble in Little China is that you have a protagonist-coded white guy who doesn't realize he's the comic relief sidekick in the movie. And I'd strongly argue that this is the core appeal of Han Solo. He's not cool at all, that's why he's fun!
