DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ - near perfect

"... it's all in the reflexes." - Jack Burton

Why watch this? It's packed full of action, sci-fi, martial arts and laughs.

Plot Summary: Trucker Jack Burton gets pulled into a supernatural conflict when his friend Wang's fiancée is kidnapped in San Francisco's Chinatown. They discovers an ancient sorcerer named Lo Pan is behind the abduction, seeking to break a curse that keeps him in spirit form. Jack, Wang and their allies must battle mystical forces and formidable foes to save the girl and stop Lo Pan's sinister plan.

Dad's Preview:  This was Carpenter's last great film IMHO. It has a little bit of everything: heroes, damsels, martial arts, Chinese mysticism, hairy 8-foot monsters, floating zombie heads, you know, the usual. Russell is iconic as Jack T. Burton, an over-confident truck driver who waaayyy over-estimates his charm. Still, there's a lot to love about him. Dennis Dun, as Wang, keep's Burton under control, while James Hong is also superb as the evil sorcerer Lo Pan.
