As our own Scott Tobias and Noel Murray said in their recent John Carpenter Primer (which, if you haven’t read it yet, what’s wrong with you?), Big Trouble In Little China is the silliest movie of Carpenter’s career, so revisiting it is a great Friday-afternoon distraction. However, this new supercut of the film suggests that maybe Jack Burton being “the inept sidekick to Dun” isn’t the joke of the film, as Noel suggests; maybe it’s just that Kurt Russell never got a look at the script. No, it’s actually totally the joke of the film, but it’s funny in a whole new way when compressed down to 120 query-filled seconds.
