Movie Reviews

Video-Reviewmaster.com - 10/10 by Steve CrumImperfect, yes...but still great cultish fun with Kurt Russell.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesContains the single drop-dead funniest moment in all of Carpenter's filmography.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealThe high-octane action comedy takes all that was worthwhile from decades of B-flicks and distills it into a maximum-concentration explosion of cinematic TNT.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 10/10 by Rob VauxA inspired and slightly unhinged homage to grindhouse B-moviemaking.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Scott FoundasBig Trouble in Little China is a far more enjoyable mash-up of classic Westerns, Saturday-morning serials, and Chinese wu xia than any of the Indiana Jones movies, with Kurt Russell in full bloom as Carpenter’s de rigueur hard-drinkin’, hard-gamblin’, wise-crackin’ loner hero—a bowling-alley John Wayne.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Marc BernardinThere are two kinds of people: the ones who have seen — and love — Big Trouble in Little China, a John Carpenter kung fu Western buddy Chinese ghost love story, and those poor saps who aren’t burdened with having to try and describe it to the uninitiated.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeLoads of fun from the usually strained John Carpenter.
Cinema Crazed - 8/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Works as a stand alone classic that features John Carpenter at his best.
CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CroceA film to embody the Eighties, and justify them
KFOR Channel 4 News - 8/10 by Blake DavisA misunderstood, underrated blast of a movie from genre king John Carpenter. As imaginitive and fun as anything he's done.
