The fact that you see Kim Catral and immediately say "Mannequin!" instead of Sex and the City made my day.
Don't forget Porky's
I see her and always think of Mannequin first :)
Hollywood gives you three snaps for that!
@@kenttaylor9238 And Police Academy
I always see "Lassie."
Poor Egg Shen. He got fed up with the city after these events, and obviously moved out to the desert to get away from monsters, open up a small shop. But the monsters followed him. RIP
Just thinking of it gives me tremors...
You would think in either place Egg was at that Snake Plissken and a villain like Sebastion Shaw could take care of some monsters... and if not, then surely Reba could at least sing them to sleep!!
No way man; Egg waited until he was halfway up that 'oid's throat and pulled a vanishing act. Egg's too awesome to get et.
@@darastarscream No way man! You guys gotta do something!
Actually he moved to Tibet. Ran into "The Chosen One", and while talking to him he picked his nose, came out with a booger which he rubbed on his coat in which it froze and he scratched himself on it.
The subtle brilliance of this movie is that Jack thinks he's the hero, but he's the sidekick.
Did it before (and better) than Depp in the Pirates movies.
Yeah. I went there.
That's what makes Jack Burton so awesome. Does not do shit for most of the movie, he reactions are priceless and he kinda acts like a audience member. He is in disbelief the whole time of the events that are going on and just goes with it.
From what I heard, John Carpenter wanted a Asian lead but knew studios would not fund his movie that way. So he made Jack Burton a tag along friend with Wang Chi. It worked. But never forget. Jack Burton is a great man, and we are in his debt and showed great courage.
This is one of those movies that some people see as so bad it's good. But I just think it's so good it's good.
I’m in the so good it’s good camp as well..
Absolutely. It's amazing... what other movie has action, comedy, romance, sexy heroes, magic and supernatural beings, big trucks, crazy group battles, and an Egg?!
Agreed. They knew what this movie was and didn't shy away from it and just went all in on it. And it came out fantastic.
This movie was definitely ahead of it’s time. I’m glad it gets the appreciation it deserves now.
Love this movie. So many memorable quotes:
Jack Burton: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
Gracie : "I'd go with you but..."
Jack Burton : "I know, there's a problem with your face."
Lo Pan : "Shut up, Mr. Burton! You are not brought upon this world to get it!"
Jack Burton : "You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?"
Thunder : "Who?"
Jack Burton : "Jack Burton, me! ...Ol' Jack always says...what the hell!"
It’s all in the reflexes
Wang "The point is to look stupid."
Gracie "He does!" 🤣🤣🤣
Kim Cattrall's punchline delivery is on point.
“We may be trapped” gets me every time
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
The scene where Kurt opens the door and all the guys are standing there gets me every time. 😂💀
The music sting in the pause, Jack slamming the door, followed by "We may be trapped..." is pure comedy gold.
" follow the leader, 1,2,3!"😅
You know what ol Jack Burton always says...
I grew up with this movie. Had me saying
"Sonnava bitch must pay!" Well before I got into 1st grade
* Girl I was friends with and kinda sweet on back in HS, her dad did the effects for the lightning guy
"He's so disrespectful!"
James Hong steals every scene as Lo Pan, young or old (but especially old). His 'little old basketcase on wheels' performance is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 "Now this really pisses me off to no end!"
He steals all of R.I.P.D. as well.
@@celiashen5490 🤣🤣🤣 He's the best part of that mess!
"Shut up Mr. Burton!"
@@lestatdelc "InDEED!"
@@rikk319 "Is it too much to ask Thunder?! Kill him for me!" 🤣🤣🤣
Him blowing himself up has always made this movie a class in and of itself
Kurt Russell has always been a great actor growing up i remember that most of his movies are not blockbusters but you are going to rent it if you see it at the blockbuster
With his appearance as Ego in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, Kurt Russell became the only actor to appear in both Marvel's MCU and the original MCU. (the Medfield College Universe) 😁
This movie and The Last Dragon, are two of the greatest movies of the 80s. Classics
Leeroy!!!!!! Classic 80's movie. And Vanity... omg 😲
Bruce Lee Roy!
My favorite movie of all time. Can’t wait for this
I coulda done without the dog laying his ball sack on the bed for our viewing enjoyment
Kurt is definitely the man. This movie is just ridiculous levels of fun. To this day I'm amazed something so balls-to-the-wall freaking NUTS was ever approved by a studio.
Elerad: Amazed why? You see the year it was released, right? 80s movies are wild. haha
Have you watched his other early movies? They were crazy too.
(I made a comment listing them )
"Then Ching Dai will be happy and my curse will be lifted!"
"And go off to rule the universe from beyond the grave."
"Indeed!"
"Or check into a psycho ward, which ever comes first, huh?!"
So many memorable quotes. I had a hard time choosing one. Because if the breakneck speed of this movie, I do recommend anyone watch this movie 2 or 3 times.
Fun Fact: The Three Storms were partly the inspiration for the popular character of thunder god Raiden from Mortal Kombat fighting video game series, while David Lo Pan was the inspiration for the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung.
Blade Enthusiast Fact: The short knives wielded by the "Three Storms" warriors, that Thunder calls "Hui Huan Dou" (Soul-Returning Blades) are in fact Nepalese Kukri. These knives are used by all Gurkha military regiments in the British Indian Army.
Studio Hacks Fact: Kurt Russell confessed on the DVD commentary that he was afraid of starring in the movie because he had made a string of movies that flopped at the box office. When he asked John Carpenter about it, he told Kurt that it didn't matter to him - he just wanted to make the movie with him. John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn't know how to promote it.
They should have promoted it as a buddy comedy/bad-ass action movie with supernatural beings and lots of romantic moments ;) They also could have just posted lots of photos of Kurt Russel and his true buddy... his amazing hair!!
My favorite quote of the movie
Honestly that's a fair point. How would you pitch this? "They took his truck, and the other's girl. And now they've got to get them back..."
They are taken from the Masters of Death!!! From
Shogun Assassin
I love this movie. For me, it's the story of a sidekick who thinks he is the hero, because he is the tall one. Too funny
Me too.
James Hong been old as hell my whole life but damn if he's not one of the greatest actors and voice actors ever. He's the absolute definition of having a voice with character.
From Japanese officer committing seppuku in Airplane! to Mr. Ping in Kung Fu Panda... James Hong is absolutely marvelous and gem of an actor.
@JL. Top 5 favorite "B" films of all time. John Carpenter did this, Escape from New York AND Starman as well as 5 great horror films. One of the top directors of his era. The Jake Burton character is a sidekick with the Asian actor as the star but at the time so few leads were Asian. This would NEVER get made today. It is a Western, Kung Fu, Romance, Science Fiction, Action, Comedy. Just amazing so glad you fell in love with it
One of the best of all time. It's impossible to be in a bad mood after watching Big Trouble.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe. Also RIP Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from the BATMAN Animated Series passed away today at age 66.
RIP Batman.
To be real, I was just here for that last jump scare! More Kurt Russell? Watch Overboard!
This is a feel good movie for me. I didn't even live through the 80s and I still get nostalgia from this.
Me too.
The first Mortal Kombat was inspired by three movies: Enter the Dragon (1973) with the legendary Bruce Lee, Bloodsports (1988) with J.C. van Damme, and this film. Hope you react them all!
Exactly
I love Kurt Russell in this movie! He had a podcast before anyone.😁
If I was ever to listen to podcast as a normal thing, I would definitely listen to one from Jack Burton telling his war stories and giving advice or Kurt Russell just talking about anything :)
@@msfeistybabe ditto.
Best movie about a sidekick ever made!
Fact.
"You got outworld looking for you" had me in tears bro lmfaoooo
Another great John Carpenter movie to watch is They Live. It's incredible.
I saw this movie in a different light when I read that Jack Burton is the sidekick. Absolute classic.
34:02 that’s what I figured. Because, Wang is the more likely a hero than a sidekick.
Smashed that like button before it even started. I’m so excited for J’s reaction. BTLC is an amazing movie for so many reasons. I like that Kurt is the sidekick and it’s told from that angle. Thank you Blank and J for another reaction video! ❤
And a special shout out to the Co pilots 🐶 🐶 ❤❤❤❤
I sure hope that if you ever got to meet Kurt Russell you would tell him what a great movie it is and how you loved him being the sexy hero that he is!! ;)
One of the funniest martial arts action comedy fantasy movies ever made.
This was originally going to be a western taking place in 1906 with Jack Nicholson or Clint Eastwood in the role Jack Burton, a gunslinger meeting up with his childhood friend, Wang Chi, an expert in martial arts and ancient Chinese mysticism.
They try to stop the evil sorcerer Lo Pan from conjuring an earthquake that threatens not only San Francisco but the entire world.
There were talks of a Sequel and a reboot with Dwayne Johnson as a trucker trying to figure out what happened to Jack Burton and why he disappeared as well as teaming up with Burton to stop Lo Pan once and for all. This would be cancelled due to the Fox Disney merger in 2019.
What a shame too. They would have made a great duo. If ever there was a sequel to be made...
@@RonnieG I hope they someday make a sequel... but not a remake! No one else could ever be Jack Burton!!
"He rides it like a stripper pole" (lightning bolt) ,that is hilarious m'man; I busted out laughin'.
If we're not back by dawn call the President. God this movie is so cheesy that its good.
Once you've seen Tombstone, it's hard to imagine Kurt Russell with anything except a kickass mustache.
Soldier is my fave Kurt Russell movie b/c it's COMPLETELY different from any other role he ever played and it was awesome! I think you'd actually really like it. It's an action movie that takes place in the future...
I watched this last night for like the 100th time. I will never get tired of it, and I can quote every line from Kurt Russell.
There are so many great lines in this movie. One of my favorite random ones is when Russell says, "Shen! How'd you get up there?" and his answer was: "Wasn't easy!"
This is one of my all time favorite movies and it's so Goddamn original. For a good Kurt Russell movie, that's slept on, is Captain Ron. Him and Martin Short. It's hilarious
Me too
I have a funny story about this movie. I was probably 6 years old and this was on HBO. My mom was in bed, my dad was working 2 hours away from us in another town. I was laying on the couch watching this movie when a bat came through the fireplace and started swooping down at me. I put the cover over my head and went to tell mom. She went next door to tell my grandfather, who came over and caught it in a blanket. He told to get him a knife. I brought him a knife and he killed it.I always remember that when I see this movie.
I guess your grandpa saw the movie Bats and thought it was safer to get rid of it before it called its friends! We always caught them and released them in our converted barn house. They were great for cutting down on some of the bugs out in the country, but they sure wanted back into the barn and didn't care that it was our house instead lol
Same thing when I was 6 (don't remember what movie I was watching on HBO...maybe this, likely not) but my grandad got a rolled up magazine to beat the bat to death. Took, like, 15 minutes. Pap would stop every once and a while, and the bat was still breathing - broken ribs and stunned, little bat seemed to be wheezing, "just kill me, already!" Poor lil guy.
After that I learned to not tell anyone and just get a broom and usher the lil fellas out the front door. (It happened a lot.)
RIP bat
Just making sure I'm getting this right. Some of you have family members who have tortured and killed bats in their homes. And you want people to know about it.
@@DMegaTronMD 😂😞 Taught me not to ask the "adult" in the room for help - especially when dealing with a fuzzy forest friend.
When I worked at a horrible bakery in SF, they had those evil sticky traps to catch the many mice infesting the joint. I'd take the traps out back and pour olive oil on the lil fellas so they could get out of the traps + have a tasty snack. Got me fired, which was for the best.
I don't know why but the,
"Hollow?"
"Hollow."
"@$#& it."
cracks me up every time. it's simply Jack Burton being the proverbial Bull in the China Shop. The fact he's entirely useless until he does that one essential thing at the end of the movie is the thing that brings me back to this movie every year or two.
Respect for your increased movie knowledge..."Wolfman got nards".
Nobody expects the evil wizard Lo Pan to show up, but when he does, it's Big Trouble.
Loved this movie,was 8 years old and i rented it 4 times in a row just to keep watching it.Loved the reactions,watching this in the morning has put me in a good mood.Thank you Jay,thank you Blank,thank you patreons for this movie choice,bless you all
As a 50 year old man, I finally made it to China town last year and all I could think was, Jack Burton stood here. (( May the wings of liberty never lose a feather. ))
My man! You struck gold with this one. It's in my top 20. I was 5 years old when this came out, saw it on VHS and loved it ever since. I must have seen it at least 50+ times, maybe more! Glad you enjoyed it, you gave me a smile today :)
Yeah that’s how us OG super truckers used to do it talking on the radio about absolutely nothing fighting for no reason and talking about the most absurd things
Love this movie and they are making a sequel!!! Unfortunately Egg Shen - Victor Wong passed away 09-12-01 so R.I.P.
I’ve watched this movie more than any movie ever made. Never gets old and underrated.
This is my absolute favorite movie. I have been watching it since I was at least 4 and have watched it hundreds of times if not over a thousand times
Another movie you might like is "Soldier" (1998) staring Kurt Russell.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........
I love the little doggo in the back that takes the whole movie to cover his ownself in his blankies.
10:48 I lost my shit. That was one of the best reactions I have EVER witnessed to this movie! I laughed so hard that my wife came in to check on me because I've never made sounds like that in my life. I couldn't breathe but I couldn't stop laughing. I'm currently drenched in sweat from that. Holy damn!
Omg a blast from the past! Love this!
Jack Burton: Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I own it on VHS, DVD twice. Digital. To this day I still just itch to watch this movie randomly. It will never be duplicated.
Fun fact: Kurt Russel plays, not the lead hero but the *dopey sidekick.*
Oh... And they were swimming through a storm drain, not a sewer.
If you like this movie, you may also like The Golden Child (1987) with Eddie Murphy.
It's similar in vibe, uses some of the same actors (James Hong, Victor Wong). Eddie plays a private eye who's hired to find a missing child. This takes him to Nepal to fight an ancient demon.
It's not very well known but a great and fun 80's movie. It's Eddie in his prime. This movie is what you get if you mix Beverly Hills Cop with Big Trouble in Little China.
“Don’t look, jack!” “I already did!” Lmfao
Yes that was grandpa from 3 ninjas. Good mannequin recall too. And wolf man has Nards! What a squad.
The Monster Squad is a great movie, and it's funny to see some parents reacting to the "Kid-friendly" comments in that movie lol
You want to watch this? LOL. Remember, back in 86, there were not too many tough guys. Arnold, Stalone, (older Eastwood, Bronson, and of course Chuck Norris). Kurt Russel was a comedic bad ass. Your review will be interesting. Your content is always great
BEING 10 IN 86' WATCHING THIS WAS AN AWES0ME KID EXPERIENCE !!! AND YES , I THINK THIS IS WHERE THE IDEA 0F THE M0RTAI K0MBAT CHARACTERS CAME FR0M
when people ask me whats my favorite movie & this always comes to mind 1st & im not ashamed lol
This movie made everybody play as Raiden when mortal kombat first hit the US
"Aren't you going to kiss 💋 her goodbye"?
(Kim Catrall standing there waiting and thirsty)
Jack Burton: (Pauses...looks....) "Nope".
My favorite movie scene since it came out on VHS beta max, lol
JL and Blank super doing us right with this movie.
This channel is so big now, I have to apply for a license to send a comment to Blank's secretary to have her send the inter-office memo to JL. GOOD TIMES.
Now you should definitely check out Tango & Cash, from 1989. If you like Kurt Russell in this, Tango &Cash is a must watch. It also stars Sylvester Stallone. Look it up.
"Don't flatter yourself, PeeWee" Haha ;) I LOVE Tango & Cash!! Kurt has been funny in so many movies, but seeing Sylvester Stallone funny and sometimes quiet in that one and Demolition Man with Wesley... it's just amazing some of the star power that they put in these movies and I could care less what "critics" say!!
Ah yes, another amazing 80’s movie. This movie is triple buck wild. Shit just goes off the rails in an alley in China Town and then never stops.
The fun part about this movie is that Jack isn’t really the hero, Wang is. Jack is the sidekick but he thinks he is the hero.
Some of the best cheesy dialog and just a wild story.
Now when anyone asks if you have seen this movie, you can say “Have I paid my dues? Yes sir, the check is in the mail.”
The secret to this movie is Jack Burton THINKS he's the hero but he's really the sidekick 🤣
Did I call it or what man?! May the wings of liberty never lose a feather
It wasn't until I re-watched this when older that I truly realized Wang IS in the top 5! He's a BAMF. Great reaction, sorry for your JLoween ptsd 😅
Oh hell yea I’m here for this one!!!
Literally one of my all time favorite movies growing up as a kid.
Did you ever have those movies that you use to watch as a kid that made you start jumping off couches???? Lol every time I would see this movie as a kid, I would do karate kicks lol
And yes, Mortal Kombat wouldn’t exist because of this movie
One of my favorite movies! Glad you liked it. A couple more fun movies with Kurt is Overboard & Captain Ron.
Supposedly This movie, and Jack Burton's character, was originally written with the intention of tying it in to 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension' . If you watch that film you can see similar humor and campiness. Buckaroo Bonzai is cast full of Hollywood legends, is a cult classic, and very funny.
Every now and then my dad and I will just shout, "Indeed!" like Lo Pan and die laughing.
Same. LoL
What was Mortal Kombat inspired by?
Image result for mortal kombat origins
Inspired by films like Enter the Dragon (1973), Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain (1983), and Bloodsport (1988), Mortal Kombat gave unique backstories to each character competing in a mysterious, fight-to-the-death tournament with potentially world-ending stakes.
I love this movie!
The problem with mortal kombat movies is they try to explain the super powers, this movie gives no explanation just sit back and enjoy:)
If you're liking Kurt Russell movies, you should check out Hateful 8 and Captain Ron. Very different movies, but equally awesome.
Captain Ron is worth watching. I forgot about that movie.
Best dive ever is “The Triple Lindy” in “Back To School” with Rodney Dangerfield
I'm so glad you caught this movie. Kurt Russell is one of the dopest action actors in the biz!! Ya gotta check out Escape from New York. Great movie!
BTW, you and Blank gotta be the best in the biz here too!! Always love your comments, reactions and your sense of humor. Top Notch!! Ya Crack me up all da time, son! Whether it's intentional or not. Keep it up and give Blank my warmest thanks and regards!
Night-night!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Just pure fun. So campy....I love it! Its supposed to be entertaining and mission accomplished.
One of my favorite movies growing up watching haha! Indeed!" 😂 Kurt Russell is a gem I 💯 agree. Not sure if you've seen it but I have to recommend his movie where he acts with his wife Goldie Hawn , Overboard. HILARIOUS!!
Ya know what Ol' Jack Burton says after forming PTSD from JLoween? "... SHUT UP! It's all part of the reflexes."
The reason why I love this channel so much is because we think so much alike. From all of your reactions, almost all of them is what I’m already thinking in my head but beforehand is can say it you do. Keep your reaction game going bro. Will be a patron this weekend
I'm really sorry for laughing at your trauma! 😁 I believe Halloween has given you PTSD brother! Long live this channel! Peace and love!
I recently watched the first Halloween 🎃 movie on free demands from Redbox.
This definitely has a lot of Great Value Mortal Kombat vibes
On a definitely darker note (but with a somewhat "mystical" side to it), I'd love to see you do a reaction video to The Crow. Hands down one of my favorite movies, and one hell of a great soundtrack.
This was our shit back when we were little kids. martial arts in the 80’s was pure joy.
Now is time for Escape From New York--Kurt Russell Trifecta!!!
That’s what Kurt learned from Elvis. Always leave them wanting more. Hahaha
@Extraordinarily Ordinary Media When you mentioned that you thought it might be in China and not China Town, I think people tend to call the tight-knit communities of various nationalities in America "Little China, Little Italy, etc." There's a sort of Little Italy area just outside of Cleveland (I went there when I had to go to a doc up that way) and damn the food is good. The place was called Trattoria on the Hill. They had the best Chicken Marsala I've ever had in my life, and if you get up that way, check it out.
Never saw until a found a copy at a swap meet for $1. Very surprised
Yes it is a great movie. I did enjoy your reactions. Kurt Russel is very versatile actor. He started young, he was the son of the Rifleman, then did 3disney movies as A college student, "The Computer wore tennis shoes"
Kurt has been amazing us in movies for so many years and seems to be an amazing, caring family man as well.
Johnny Crawford was in The Rifleman as the son. Kurt was in a western series when he was 12, but it was a different show. ❤
I always felt like John Carpenter did a good job of making it seem like a comic book.
This was in heavy rotation in the 80s in HBO back when there was just one HBO, so I grew up watching this movie. It isn't exactly high cinema endeavoring to win Oscars or anything but for a popcorn movie it's pretty fun. It is also because of this that when someone tells me 'See ya later' that I often reply, Never can tell.
Dude. This is one of my favorite flicks of all time. There's a pillar of awesomeness: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, ARMY OF DARKNESS and BUCKAROO BONZAI. Not in that particular order.
That last one would've been a good jump scare even if you weren't traumatized by JLoween.😂😂. Great reaction.
Kurt Russell is also in Escape From New York by John Carpenter and a movie called Soldier is another good performance
One of the greatest fantasy-action flicks ever made and just plain one of the best movies ever made!
Some crazy people put together a parody of "Gangnam Style" called "Lo Pan Style", and now that you've seen this, you might very well enjoy it. It even has a cameo by Lo Pan (James Hong) himself!
Burning blade sounds like an STD? Love your sense of humor!🤣
I wouldn't say all the characters inspired MK characters, but there is one specifically that definitely inspired an MK characters and it's very obvious.💯😁
