				Why watch this?

				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.
