  • The Real Big Trouble in Little China | 80s Classic
    2026/06/09

    In a special interview, Will chats with Gary Goldman, the screenwriter of 1986's cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. The setting of Gary's original story was very different than what we saw onscreen. Is there a future for this tale of ancient Chinese mysticism set in the Old West?

    Over the last several decades, Gary has written, produced, and otherwise improved a number of successful Hollywood films, including Total Recall, Minority Report and Basic Instinct. He’s worked for every major film studio and collaborated on projects with directors Steven Spielberg, Paul Verhoven, John Carpenter, James Cameron, and Ridley Scott.
