Excellent movie great fun and great memories from when it was released

Just an awesome, classic, piece of cinematic history…… watch it, and revel in the ‘badass-ness’ of it all….

Great film enjoy it

Good film

Director John Carpenter 1986 production which was a box-office flop combing as it does several genres in one film which are fantasy action adventure and kung- fu the story is about an all-American trucker who gets dragged into a century's old mystical war through no fault of his own as he and his friend Wang who are at the airport to pick up Wang's bride to be who just happens to have emerald green eyes this is the colour of eyes the evil sorcerer Lo Pan must marry to regain his physical form. Jack and Wang must save Wang's fiancée Miao Yin from Lo Pan and his henchmen and Jack must get back his stolen truck in the process all in Chinatown where magic seems to exist.

The Special features are as follows: - Audio commentary from John Carpenter and Kurt Russell An All new 5.1 DTS Isolated Score track Deleted Scenes Extended Ending Vintage Featurette Music Video Richard Edlund interview Trailers and TV spots Behind the scenes Gallery Doing a direct comparison with the DVD the Blu-ray sound brings the audio track to life the dialogue is always clear and easy to understand and sound effects of the different clans fighting as they kick and punch at each along with the sound of hand-held weapons such as swords now crash and clang clearly out of the speakers and the picture doesn't have the fuzzy edges to the colour that the DVD has along with a better range of colours and the difference in the range of blacks is staggering in the scenes in the tunnels under Chinatown is so much better the detail of the faces and flesh tones of the actors is more realistic and the special effects for some reason don't seem so dated in the HD format the cover artwork is an improvement on the region 2 release of 2004 as well; worth the up-grade if you can find a copy at a low enough price...

Already considered a classic, good actors, great performances, gives you a unique taste of 80s feeling.

scratches that 80's action flick itch and Kurt Russell at his peak

I love most of John carpenters films, but not all of them cause not all of them are excellent in my opinion BIG TROUBLE LITTLE CHINA is one of his best films i think i used to watch this film when it was on VHS and then i bought it on DVD that had some extras and now on Blu-ray by Arrowfilms the picture quality and audio quality are amazing excellent High definition transfer in 2.35:1 widescreen the picture quality is so clear there is no grain like what the dvd release had so much better than the DVD release of course and the audio mix has a new Master audio 5.1 mix i believe this new transfer is exactly the same as the region A blu-ray version of BTLC cause Arrowfilms obviously had to get the copyrights of the film from 20th Century fox for this U.K. release now to the special features, there are old and new special features on this blu-ray all the extras from the old dvd release are on this blu-ray plus all new never seen before interviews with John carpenter, Kurt russell, Dean cundey, Producer Larry Franco, stunt man Jeff imada and richard edlund so about 1 hour's worth of new interviews that were recorded back in 2012 all the extras from the dvd release are on this blu-ray TV special making of featurette from 1986, Deleted scenes, extended ending, TV spots, 3 Theatrical trailer's Behind the scenes Photo Gallery and John carpenter's audio commentary from the dvd release incredible version all on 1 blu-ray Disc, Arrowfilms really did make an effort for this film for sure the all new 1 hour of new interviews is only available on this U.K. Blu ray version so there is more, lots more special features are on this U.K. release than the U.S. blu-ray release you might as well throw out the old dvd release and get this new Blu-ray release definitelytime for an upgrade and worth the money, i gave it 5 stars.
