Big Trouble in Little China

Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is John Carpenter’s cult-action film starring Kurt Russell as trucker Jack Burton.

What makes it sing is Russell’s Jack: cocky, clueless, all-American bravado played like comedy genius.

That opening radio-dispatch monologue over the ’80s groove, rolling the big rig, is peak Burton—enjoy.
