I'm a reasonable guy. But, I've just experienced some very unreasonable things:

No. Just... no.
I think I would rather have a rock in the starring role :p

Good God No. They just won't stop until they've ruined everything will they.
Rock,go back to acting in the wrestling.
I'm unfazed by this. Much as I love most of Carpenter's movies, Big Trouble in Little China I don't really care for.
well it had to happen sooner or later

wonder when they will remake back to the future

Ditto. It was just too stupid, even for me, which is why a remake might be nice. If they make it a little darker it might work.

On a related note, early reviews on the 'Point Break' remake are that they shouldn't have remade it. :P

It was a parody of action movies. "Darker" doesn't really fit with parody.

I'm not so sure, but you have me thinking about it now way more than I should. XD

I'm going to be up all night now pondering this. :P

I was never really sure what it is supposed to be. It was not funny enough to be a parody, at least not a good one, too silly to be anything else. Maybe I would "get it" if I was into martial arts films, which I avoid like the plague.

Have you, like, noticed that the very self-praising supposed hero spends 85% of the movie not understanding one bit about what's going on around him, caring about his truck only, knocking himself out of the fights that his 'sidekick' wins for him, and the remaining 15% running around with lipstick on his face ?

Because it could be a hint.

It's all that. It's some sort of "cool" cheesy orientalist adventure, with the "what if" the hero was a completely out of place, clueless, oblivious, self-loving, failed american action hero. Makes a very in-between (and likeable) movie, both deliberately and accidentally cheesy. With an amusingly subverted hero, who's still the good guy, but amusingly out of his depth and never frankly aknowledging it. All the typical action movie stuff seems to happen in his background...

Also Lo-Pan rulez.

Really? I thought he is one of the lamest villains I've seen.

Anyway, it's not one of those movies I feel the need to argue about. It's not like I hate it, or even think it's bad. I just don't care for it. Wasn't funny for me, or engaging. If I feel rather negative towards it rather than simply indifferent, it's because I was dissapointed with it, expecting another great movie by Carpenter.
Lo Pan is dead and the evil curse has been lifted. Years ago I promised myself a long vacation (from remakes). It's time to collect. Big Trouble in Little China is in the heart. Wherever I go, she is with me.
