Doc returns to join the Decades of Horror Grue-Crew to review BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986) directed by John Carpenter. Is there a better hero than Jack Burton? Yeah, probably, but in this action comedy with hints of horror and supernatural, he is the best - cocky, over confident, and often ridiculous. It's all in the reflexes! Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, and Denis Dun lead a terrific cast with James Hong nearly stealing the entire movie as David Lo Pan. Brilliant!
