The birthday of our all-time favorite, Mr. Kurt Russell, is right around the corner so the ReconCinemation team unites to look back at one of his and John Carpenter's best: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA! Jon, David, Brent and special guest Joe Cetta (of the It Happened One Year podcast) take a deep-dive into the origins of the story, the early creative direction by Gary Goldman & David Weinstein, John Carpenter's entry into the project & where his standing was post-THE THING and, of course, Kurt Russell's magical career. They look at how BIG TROUBLE played an important role in Kurt's career, the character of Jack Burton and who the true "hero" of the movie is. Plus, early memories of the film, the incredible soundtrack, the excellent cast, the troubled release & fallout thereafter, where the films stand racially from today's perspective, the Drew Struzan poster and so much more!
It's all in the reflexes... it's BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA!
