I really wish he'd direct another movie. The Ward was mediocre and Ghosts of Mars was dogshit. I'd like to see him go out on a higher note, although admittedly even his not so great movies are pretty fun.
>Ghosts of Mars is underrated.
No. It isn't. When will you shitheads stop saying every awful movie is "underrated"?

Lol, it´s worth it just for Ice Cube alone. His mug there just makes me laugh. Can´t help it, I just love the movie. It reminds me of all the post apocalyptic italian shlockers.

It's the same shit. Filmed in some Euro-hellhole with Z list actors a thoroughly uninspired plot and no budget.
i think it's THE most fun movie. it's not something that was slept on either. as a kind in the 90's i would watch this repeatedly on vhs. perfect blend of tongue in cheek comic book action with mystical fantasy. the women in this are so attractive too. best part is kurt russell's performance
Yeah it's a great scene. Which is weird because it was actually a reshoot mandated by the studio. Somehow it works though, it just does such a good job of building anticipation.
Love this movie so much. It captures the Alice in Wonderland feel so well, getting crazier and more dreamlike while being fun and cosy. I don’t think it’s possible to make films this cosy any more
Guessing Jack only gets to use his gun as a super/fatality.
Still I gotta go with Jack.
He's clearly the default well-balanced easy to use character and I'm a vanilla homosexual like that.
I might frick around with Egg and Gracie for shits n' giggles.
He's pretending he's a phone repairman so for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to be carrying a rotary telephone in his hand when he walks into the building.
Jack Burton is the greatest character to ever exist in any medium.

This movie is so good. It's kind of a shame there was never a sequel, but at least the comic books are pretty good. I wouldn't trust anyone to properly make a sequel these days with an old and grizzled Jack Burton. As it is, the rats in Hollywood have been trying to get a remake staring Dwayne "Litty" Johnson off the ground for years now. I hope that shit never happens.
goddam i love this movie but nobody gets me when i lopanpost irl. my high pitched giggling, saying indeed!and the best of two worlds, egg shen! in broken chenglish is all wasted on philistines
Big Trouble in Little China is a good example of "subverting expectations" in a good way.
You expect Kurt Russell to show up, be the big hero, and ride off into the sunset. But he doesn't do shit for most of the movie until he kills Lo Pan at the end.
this is a perfect movie!
JACK BURTON- ..me!
Yeah I'm thinking John Carpenter was a god.
>was
he's still alive anon. I saw him perform music a few years ago and I think he still does

Ghosts of Mars is underrated. It´s far from Carpenters best but funny little movie is sometimes enough.

Kokomo, Indiana, true Euro-hellhole allright.
You're confused.
I am, my bad.
Damn anon, I like you already
He's directing one episode of this unscripted horror series
Kind of looks like shit but whatever
Watch the movie that inspired it.
This is one of the most fun to watch movie that exists. It's the perfect amount of comfy, humor and action.

I love how Lo Pan has a nail through his head the whole movie for absolutely no reason
its a hairpin in his hat you lugnut
It's a hat pin
>He say you Braderunna
This never happened in the movie. This never happened in the movie.
So did Jack Burton live at the end or did the monster kill him?
Jack would gut out a win.
the monster wanted to tag along, it was nice
do i smell a spinoff jack and monster buddy cop movie?
I always imagined he just wanted to ride along with Jack and have some beers after he got put in his place. No long lasting hard feelings
I like this. Jack sharing a brew with the monster.
Hell yes. So what was he, exactly - a yeti?
It was a setup for a sequel, not even kidding
In the comics, he becomes his riding buddy.
Oh frick yes.
The Chinese Sasquatch becomes Jacks wingman. You think Lo Pan was a good master?
He lived, of course. This matter would be solved within the first three pages of the next issue.
this movie needed a sequel so bad but based carpenter hates sequels
John Carpenter is a national treasure.
>it always begins. Very small.
just like my penis
The commentary track is great. I love them bros.
>photographic evidence that John Carpenter hasn't always been a dried up old mummy
Nani the frick?
Damn I gotta watch this whole thing some time.
Do it now
So chinese magic is real or not?
Just like my penis.
Big things have small beginnings
The hottest of heads
can a chinese actually have green eyes
Yes every thousand year
Yes, for the same reason chinese can grow scruffy beards: Race mixing.
Pure asians cant grow any facial hair, at all.
That isn't even remotely correct.
Because you think the modern chinese are pure asians. They have been mixing with other races for milennia. But pure asians cant grow any facial hair
Yes sir, the check is in the mail
*takes large bite of sandwich*
This movie was such a disappointment but goddam if Kim Cartrall wasn't fricking gorgeous
>This movie was such a disappointment
Are you from opposite world?
Yes, it was too hyped to me, then watched and wasn't as good as expected.
I blame the people who recommended it to you. They should have taken into consideration that you're a huge homosexual
What fricking brain damage have you suffered??
>well jack, have you paid your dues?
Yessir, the check is in the mail.
@190391242
>GIVE ME (You)S!
No.
>china is here, mr burton
>china is here? what the hell does that even mean?
He just stands there, waiting for me drive my truck straight through him, with LIGHT coming out of his mouth
what trump was told in the oval office the day covid started
I guess he means the movie takes place in Canada.
This opening always gets me hyped as frick.
>he showed great courage!

Cosy films are racist.
So am I
So who would you main in the 90s arcade fighting game adaptation?
Baldie with the two revolvers is underrated.
Wang is the correct answer.
Fun Fact: Ed Goon, the creator of Mortal Kombat, was such a fan of the movie he put the character of Egg Shen into Mortal Kombat 1 as a homage.
Lightning was inspiration for Raiden you mean
It's a Fun Fact.
Are you pretending to be moronic?
There are secret boss characters.
>What'll come out no more?
always gets a chuckle out of me
That whole sequence was fricking magnificent.
>What is that?
>Black Blood of the Earth.
>Oh, you mean oil?
>No, I mean Black Blood of the Earth!
That and the conclusion of his next line are my favorite lines in the whole movie:
>Many normal people were killed.
Guessing Jack only gets to use his gun as a super/fatality.
Still I gotta go with Jack.
He's clearly the default well-balanced easy to use character and I'm a vanilla homosexual like that.

I love the scene where he's got to pretend he's some phone repairman or something and con his way into the building
He's pretending he's a phone repairman so for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to be carrying a rotary telephone in his hand when he walks into the building.
Jack Burton is the greatest character to ever exist in any medium.
It convinces people. They don't think deeply about it. It doesn't matter if it's actually logical or not.
It's ridiculous and insane and what's so hilarious about the scene is how completely unconvincing he is. Stop ruining it with your autism.
Here's to the army and the navy, and the battles they have won
May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
The chinese got a lot of hells
>what is this, egg?
>black blood of the earth.
>you mean oil?
>i mean black blood of the earth lol
>IT WILL COME OUT NO MORE!
>WHAT? WHAT WILL COME OUT NO MORE?
>I'm going to live long enough I can get an AI to make Big Trouble in Little China 2
Take that you shitty assfrick of a timeline.
Boy, it sure is raining cats and dogs!

goddam i love this movie but nobody gets me when i lopanpost irl. my high pitched giggling, saying indeed!and the best of two worlds, egg shen! in broken chenglish is all wasted on philistines
>lopanpost irl.
Hearty chuckle
i'm a sinister asian like lopan too, and still just blank bovine stares everywhere. like do i need the costume and LIGHT coming out my mouth?
yea my friends just look at me funny when i shoot light out of my mouth
Do your friends have green eyes? You should sacrifice one and keep the other for yr earthly pleasures
I like you. We could hang out.
I’m actually starting to think James Hong really is Lo Pan.
I just laugh constantly and no one gets I'm doing a perfect impression of Kurt Russel DVD commentaries.
Big Trouble in Little China is a good example of "subverting expectations" in a good way.
You expect Kurt Russell to show up, be the big hero, and ride off into the sunset. But he doesn't do shit for most of the movie until he kills Lo Pan at the end.
Wang does most of the heavy lifting in the movie, but Wang's also smart enough to know that Jack comes in clutch at the most unexpected times.
